Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond has been marked by a lot of controversy and also a lot of success. When Craig debuted in the role back in 2006’s Casino Royale, the Bond franchise was at something of a low ebb artistically after a series of increasingly cartoonish movies starring Pierce Brosnan.

The meta-relationship between Marvel’s Deadpool and DC’s Deathstroke just became even more layered with famed comic book writer Christopher Priest confirming his “Arkham” storyline was meant to be read as an unofficial crossover. Though the merc with a mouth and the man known as the Terminator exist in two different superhero franchises, the connection between the super-powered contract killers runs deep. While co-creator Rob Liefeld likes to point out distinctions between Wade Wilson (Deadpool) and Slade Wilson (Deathstroke), most comic book readers believe the former is a parody version of the latter....
