Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons is a 2020 American animated superhero film directed by Sung Jin Ahn. It follows Slade Wilson's origin story, who gains enhanced abilities after a military experiment and becomes the mercenary known as Deathstroke. The story explores his turbulent relationships with his family, including his estranged wife Adeline and his children Joseph and Rose, while confronting the consequences of his violent past and faces enemies like H.I.V.E. and his daughter Rose, who has joined the villains.
Initially released on January 6, 2020, as a web series on CW Seed, it was planned as a 12-episode run. However, after the first two episode aired, these plans were altered and the project was repurposed into a direct-to-video animated film titled Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons: The Movie, which was released digitally and on Blu-ray in August of the same year. The film received mixed reviews.
