Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson, is one of DC Comics’ most iconic villains. A master assassin, mercenary, and tactical genius. From The Judas Contract storyline in the comics to his unforgettable role as Slade in the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon, he has always been a dark reflection of the heroes he opposes.
But Beware the Batman gave us a unique twist on Deathstroke. This version didn’t just want to defeat the Dark Knight, he envied Batman. He was a lone wolf that had been rejected by his mentor, and he wanted revenge. This sets him apart from every other portrayal.
In this video, I break down Deathstroke’s history across DC Comics, his legacy in Teen Titans as Slade, and why his rivalry with Batman in Beware the Batman deserves more attention.
