WhileDeathstrokehas had a confusing moral compass over the years , writer Joshua Williamson has confirmed the mercenary is definitively picking a side in theupcomingDark Crisisevent . Williamson , who ’s written everything from DC’sThe Flashto his own creator - owned serial killer seriesNailbiter , teased a lot of info about theDark Crisisevent serial in an interview with Comic Book Resources .
In the past , Deathstroke has been depicted as an straight-out scoundrel uncoerced to gamble his own child to come through , a reluctant antihero with a unequalled moral compass , and even an unlimited hero after seeing the error of his ways . However , in his interview withComic Book Resources , which revealed plenty of exciting view about theDark Crisisevent , Williamson confirmedDark Crisis’Deathstroke is a to the full irredeemable villain , and will clash with Nightwing in a major battle . Specifically , when asked aboutDeathstroke ’s previously fluctuate moral compass , Williamson enounce :
As far as I ’m worry , Deathstroke is a villain . He ’s not a hero or an anti - wedge . He ’s a baddie . I wanted to make that absolutely clear before we got to Dark Crisis . If you ’ve been study Deathstroke Inc. and Shadow War , you could see where the pieces have all been put together that explain his tone-beginning in Dark Crisis .
Shadow War , in particular , explain how Deathstroke capture to the berth of being an all - out villain and plunge deeply into his mindset . you could really understand what happened to him by the time you get to Shadow War Omega . There ’s another art object to the puzzler that will excuse how everything flow and prove how significant Deathstroke is to the storey . He is a scoundrel throughout , and there is no redemption or going back and forth for him here .
Williamson specifically mentionsDeathstroke Inc.andShadow Waras lay the groundwork for Deathstroke ’s villain morality . Deathstroke Inc.has see Slade Wilson take his property asDC ’s new King of Villains . Meanwhile , theShadow Warevent , which sees Deathstroke ’s new confederation of villain go up against Talia al Ghul ’s League of Shadows , will apparently leave behind him in an undeniable villain role . It will be interesting to see how fans render this adaptation of Deathstroke , especially as his daughter Ravager is on a mission to bring Slade back towards the light .
Some may consider take the option for his redemption as making the part too simplistic , but others will praise the decisiveness for not pulling any punches , instead shit him that much more of a threat as the DC Universe faces perhaps its greatest ever threat . However reader interpret it , the villainousDeathstrokewill seemingly bet a big role in theDark Crisisevent , with salvation no longer on the card for DC ’s assassin supreme .
