Okay then, what about Black Mask, Rupert Thorn, Scarface, and Penguin in a crime war? Nah, that would be too sophisticated and thought provoking.

Then there's Firefly, Man-Bat, Anarky, Mad Hatter, Professor Pyg, Onomatopeia, Sportsmaster, etc.

But yeah, I guess if they want to play it safe, Deathstroke makes the obvious choice.

Batman and Arrow have been stealing Deathstroke from Nightwing and Aresenal for quite a while now.

Clayface is a mook, he's not big enough to have a plot centered around solely him.

Firefly would have to be a double feature, Man-Bat would be too sympathetic and ignorant move-goers would just compare him to the Lizard, Pyg I could do without, Onomatopeia is an Arrow villain, so why would Bruce steal from the guy that literally rips him off in style anyway?

Sportmaster was only made cool in Young Justice, and then they were really pushing it.

Anarky could work, but DC would like run the risk of the mouthier fanbase just prefer him to Batman, and they can't have that.

Mad Hatter they could only put in if they have the mature skill and the balls to handle a creepy, slightly rapey villain like him. Because if and when they fuck that up it's going to be a shitstorm they can't recover from.
