I think Sacred Knight basically called what this Deathstroke 2 part story is going to be. I doubt this will be anything special.

Slade and Superman again? I never expected this, because the previous saga is with Sinestro.
Superman#32 cover
Kryptonite swords. As if we needed anything else to tell us this was scrambling last minute filler.

Eh, it's something that can go either way. Just can't judge by its cover.
I'll change my mind and consider this cool if Deathstroke takes aim and Superman dodges all the swings. Shows some matrial training in his own right "Kryptonite weakens me, but it doesn't matter if you can't hit me" That would be badass. But I'm not holding my breath for it. Considering Deathstroke is a DC pet character I can more imagine Superman crumbling like a sack of potatoes.

If Bonny does have Superman and Deathstroke fight, I wouldn't be too worried about Superman being downplayed. Bonny was the co-writer on the second New 52 Deathstroke series with Tony Daniel. They had a Superman vs Deathstroke fight whilst Slade was wielding the Godkiller sword and although Slade got some hits in, Superman was the clear winner. On that basis, Bonny may not depict Deathstroke at the level he fought at during Identity Crisis for instance.
Hope you're right. I'll promise to call myself out on just being a negative nancy if it turns out okay. Even though the filler situation will still bother me.

You know, if written well, I could totally go for a series of Superman vs Other Heroes' Villains
Superman being THE hero of the DCU, it makes perfect sense for other villiains to take a shot at him.
