The Dark Knight Rises
Although hard to identify at first glimpse , Deadshot may have appear inThe Dark Knight Risesas Bane ’s ( Tom Hardy ) mainhenchman , Barsad . While not as powerful as Bane or as celebrated as the Joker , Deadshot is still an of import penis of Batman ’s classic rapscallion heading .

touch : How Batman Beat Bane In The Dark Knight Rises ' SECOND Fight
Played by Josh Stewart , Barsad first appears as a soldier who redeem Bane to the CIA disguise as a enamor mercenary in fiat to carry out his programme to nobble the scientist who will build a nuclear bomb calorimeter and destroy Gotham . As Bane ’s second - in - bid and an expert crack shot , Barsad is no regular hoodlum . The next time he appear , he sports a red scarf joint and a considerable supplying of ammunition strapped to his vest while he effortlessly snipes down an intact SWAT team - traits that a more naturalistic reading of Deadshot would have in Nolan ’s grounded creation . In fact , Deadshot was bruit to have a major role inThe Dark Knight Risesalong with Black Mask while the movie was in developing , and it seems Christopher Nolan and writer David S. Goyer kept some vestiges of their first drafts for the terminal movie . Considering theattention to detail in all of Nolan’sDark Knighttrilogy , the plan and delineation of Barsad is certainly not a conjunction .
This theory is supported by the theatre director ’s other nods at authoritative Batman characters throughout the trilogy . The Dark Knight Risesalluded to the cosmos of Killer Croc as a " giant gator " living in Gotham ’s sewer , but other characters show the same way of adaptation that Barsad appear to have . John Daggett ( Ben Mendelsohn ) , the rival chief operating officer of Wayne Enterprises , is a reference to Roland Dagget - creator of the classical baddie Clayface . InThe Dark Knight , the Riddler is referenced as Mr. Reese , a minor character with like motivation and a interchangeable name to his comic Scripture opposite number , Edward Nygma . All of these characters would n’t have fit in theDark Knightuniverse in a more comic - exact signifier , and would have carry away from the main plot . Still , Christopher Nolan found the staring way to homage them in his characteristic way .
Even though it is n’t as critically acclaimed as its precursor , TheDark Knight Risessucceeds in bringing the Congress of Racial Equality of Batman ’s mythos to the big CRT screen without the need to make the world aroundChristian Bale ’s Batman more comic accuratethan what Nolan ’s visual modality had established . A maskless Deadshot with no cybernetically - enhanced center makes sense in a world where Robin is a police officer and not a circus acrobat . The question is - who else was out there ?
