I was minding my business, and Marie Javin from DC e-mailed me about Deathstroke. I went "Deathstroke?" It took me a minute but I had to go, "Isn't he that guy who fights the Teen Titans?" She goes, "Yeah." And I go, "He has his own book?" "For a long time now." I knew nothing. So I said, "Send me some of that and I'll look at it." I looked at The New 52 stuff and I looked at some stuff prior to and I got in contact with her and said, "I appreciate you thinking of me, but I can't write this."
And she said, "We're doing this 'Rebirth' thing, so if you were writing Deathstroke what would you do?" And I said that it would be interesting to me if I could do something introspective. Kind of "behind the mask," you know? Get inside his head a little and kind of treat him the way we treated Black Panther in a lot of ways, where people are speculating about his motives and what he's going to do, and he's always one step ahead of everybody. -- Christopher J. Priest

b) look at the guy in your avatar, HIS outfits are too busy!
also, did Slade unleash the murderbots himself?
(also, I like Slade and Light sitting around talking over coffee. get 2 heroes in the same room and they start fighting. 2 villains? they sit down and chat.)

Deathstroke using the word tired seems ooc.
The guy who looks to be about to hug Jericho has Mr. Fantastic arms.
"Still a virgin?"
