Constantine: City of Demons) is responsible for writin
g Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons while Sung Jin Ahn (

Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons:
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons follows in the tradition of CW Seed’s animated series Vixen and Freedom Fighters: The Ray. Ten years ago, Slade Wilson — aka the super-assassin called Deathstroke — made a tragic mistake and his wife and son paid a terrible price. Now, a decade later, Wilson’s family is threatened once again by the murderous Jackal and the terrorists of H.IV.E. Can Deathstroke atone for the sins of the past — or will his family pay the ultimate price?
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons is set to debut on CW Seed in Q1 2020.
