Sounds like eventually it will be revealed that it was actually Talia, who killed Ra's.
Slade just looks excited to have Respawn, like he just figured out "Oh man I got myself a Robin"
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Yeah, obviously Respawn is going to be the secret child of Talia and Deathstroke because of Priest's dumb retcon. Talia is going to be the one that got Deathstroke to kill Ra's. And finally Deathstroke and Batman are going to have faced off before he ever interacted with the Titans. Essentially retconning him into a Batman villain first. I think I actually called that happening in a thread months and months ago, lol.
Feels like he has mostly been drawn as an older teen. I just think it is beyond obvious he is going to be Deahstroke and Talia's kid at this point. The story keeps reinforcing it with how they are positioning Bruce/Damian against Deathstroke/Respawn and are involving Talia in it.
