    Absolutely, the character has lost all mystique and sense of threat since the mid-00s. I actively want to avoid books with him in these days and really want him to disappear for 5 years (and even then not be used without a big storyline).

    He's one of the characters that needs to be used sparingly and with a distinct goal. He was designed to be like a James Bond villain - a guy with unlimited resources, grand designs and an organisation dug deep into the power structures of the world. He doesn't work as just another Bat-villain.

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

    Slade Wilson commits an unthinkable act, and Talia al Ghul, the Daughter of the Demon, is out for blood! The League of Shadows is out to murder Deathstroke and destroy Deathstroke Inc., and it’s up to Batman and Robin to track Slade down and bring him to justice, but do they?

    Why did DC get rid of Deathstroke's Ikon Suit?
    Was legit one of the best costumes ever (across DC characters).

    So the rest of the batfamily is spared of this event it seems
    I guess we can officially call deathstroke a bat character

    Oof, this is all written by Williamson (except some stories in War Zone, I assume)?

    I'm starting Batman again with issue #118 (haven't picked it up yet, though), and I may drop it with issue #121.

    Way to go, DC.

    It was only a matter of time before Robin got dragged into a crossover. 3 issues doesn't seem bad

    At least it seems to be a contained crossover by one writer. That should at least keep a consistent vision and tell a single, clear story across the books.

    That said, I did love that Mariko Tamaki's Fear State tie-ins ignored Fear State as much as possible to stop it getting in the way of 'Tec's ongoing story.

    Saw people on another site theorize Respawn is going to be talia and Slade’s son, feel like that’s probably happening at this point. Ugh

    It's Grant. After Annual it's even too obvious.

    Alright, I’ll trust you on that. Still haven’t read the annual.

    It'll be nice to see Bruce and Damian together again.
