Deathstroke takes the fight to Wayne Manor in this exclusive preview
Deathstroke and Batman have always had a contentious relationship. But the current arc of Deathstroke has taken that animosity to new heights, as the two men are thrown into a plot that puts the paternity of Batman’s son in question. Could Slade Wilson really be Damian Wayne’s father? It’s doubtful, but writer Christopher Priest has built a story that doesn’t make the possibility totally unfeasible. Priest’s phenomenal run on this series has always focused on Slade’s relationship to his family, and the writer folds Batman and Robin into that complicated family dynamic with the question of paternity. After giving readers a taste of what he can do with the Dynamic Duo earlier in his run, Priest goes even further with this father-and-son team in the “Deathstroke Vs. Batman” arc, highlighting how they both share certain characteristics with the titular assassin.
