Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons is an American animated web series that premiered on January 6, 2020. Originally planned to air as a 12-episode web-series on CW Seed, these plans were canceled after the first episode appearing on CW Seed. The first episode that premiered and the 11 subsequent episodes planned to debut as a web series were later re-purposed into a direct-to-video animated film, Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons: The Movie, released digitally on August 4 and on Blu-ray on August 18. A second episode was eventually released 10 months later on November 24. While existing as a direct-to-video DC animated film, like Batman Ninja it is considered a stand-alone entry that is not part of the DC Original Animated Universe series of films.
