— -- After Ben Affleck released some test shots of the villain Deathstroke late last month, we finally know who will be playing him!

Joe Manganiello of "True Blood" and "Magic Mike" fame was confirmed to play the lethal villain by DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

It's confirmed that Manganiello will be in the solo Batman film, but it's unclear whether he'll also be in "Justice League," which is set to come out next year.

Manganiello only had one thing to say about the casting, posting on Facebook, "It's on..."

He also changed his Twitter background photo to Deathstroke.

Here's the footage Affleck, who plays Batman in "League," shared late last month.
