F^(* Deathsroke.

Is it started that when I try to imagine a "good" Deathstroke title the only thing I can image is "Deadpool, but serious"?

i think slade is really a better character for his own movie than a comic book. you can do more with his loose morals in a pg 13 movie than a comic.

Closest thing I can think of thats been made are the Punisher movies, the problem is that Slade doesn't really have an appealing reason for him to be a merc/vigilante/assassin.

Unless you wind the clock wayyy back and retell his origins and his army days. Imagine him being Rambo in the jungle somewhere.

If you are thinking in the lines of Deadpool/Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe... that could be done, but only as a non-canon story. Problem is that if Deathstroke in his own book is hired to kill the Titans (again), he can't really follow it to the end because they are too big for DC to him to just off them, so either he's going to have to relent at the last second, be non-canon or be defeated because he ended up facing something he couldn't actually handle.

But then again, if was tasked to go after TT and ran into an unexpected, very public (selfie taken) and humiliating defeat (ruining his merc-cred), that could serve as the New-52 reason for the old rivalry.

@daredevil21134: not...anymore

As always f*ck you dc

I think he will. He's far too popular right now to disappear from any of the books.

@outside_85: " Closest thing I can think of thats been made are the Punisher movies, the problem is that Slade doesn't really have an appealing reason for him to be a merc/vigilante/assassin."

i mean that he could be his same old mercenary self. most action movie heroes have loose morals now. 3 days to kill was a good movie and the main character was an assassin. a lot of movies feature black ops. slade will fit right in.

Well basically,

1.He is the only villain with his own rogue gallery.. I mean how many villains have there own enemies in DC ( not restricted by one)

2.He can be - apart of a villain- an antihero, an antivillain , merecenary/assassin or a vigilante as the writer wants.

3.He is a well-known character which guarantees success.

4.He is bad@$$

I don't see why he needs an ongoing at all. He's one of those characters best used as little as possible He doesn't have anything special as a character and making another ongoing about him will just make things worse. And I don't think he's popular enough to warrant an ongoing. They did try that and fail after all. Maybe a limited series.

the 80s-90s ongoing was great since wolfman wrote a lot of it but that new 52 series sucked. as much as I like the character I think deathstroke works best when used like frank miller used punisher in his daredevil run, making badass cameos killing people and having the occasional throw down with a big name hero or team

yup

He already had wtf?

Don't care about reading about a bad guy.

To the "he had one and it failed" comments: yes, I know. It's mentioned in the article. But this was also before he gained popularity by appearing regularly in Arrow and Injustice: Gods Among Us/Batman: Arkham Origins. Given the right creative team and a fresh start, I believe it may have more luck a second time around.

Also, IT LOOKS LIKE DC AGREES!

Great job man. You convinced DC!

Sometimes less is more. If it were me, after a failed series, I'd probably stop pushing him as a major character with his own comic and take it back to basics for a little bit.

I'd make him the main protagonist for "Grayson". Or maybe someone he needs to work with. Or both. I don't know. I do know, I thought his appearances in the Nightwing series were some of his more interesting showings.

So maybe taking a step back and giving it some thought on what they need to do to make Deathstroke's solo series profitable wouldn't be the worst plan.

It's cool. I think Wolverine is an overrated loser.

Someone's salty!

Looks like you're getting your two wishes. :)
