    Teen Titans showed just how impactful Deathstroke can be in a leadership role. He’s every bit as capable of dealing with matters personally, but he also gets to showcase his methodical side a lot more. Deathstroke is one of only two villains in my opinion that are perfect rivals for Batman - the other being Ra’s al Ghul - in terms of both physically and intellectually. I’m guessing that Rocksteady also realized this to some degree which is why they didn’t have a more intimate fight with Deathstroke in Arkham Knight. One, because Origins already had one and most players of Knight probably played that game. Two, they already had a fisticuffs fight with Ra’s in Arkham City.
    But, I’m of the belief that Deathstroke indeed should’ve been the militia leader throughout the entirety of Arkham Knight. First and foremost, he is former military which means he’s best-suited to be running a military occupation. You basically give him the Teen Titans treatment - bonus points if you get Ron Perlman to voice him. For Jason, he’s a chaotic neutral character torn between disproving Batman’s ideology and protecting the city. Have him come in randomly during free roam moments and side missions with the argument that Batman’s wasting his time trying to handle everything personally and if he keeps it up, he’s gonna lose someone else. When Robin is taken by Scarecrow, Jason and Batman show up to the movie studios at the same time. Jason declares he’s going to kill Scarecrow since ANOTHER Robin has been kidnapped and he’s not about to let Batman handle it his way again. Batman obviously disagrees… cue emotional boss fight.
    Going back to Deathstroke, after Batman takes out all the militia targets, you can have the tank battle as is, but cap it off with fisticuffs. Fight in the street; have a chase across the rooftops; Deathstroke brings in another vehicle to entice a high-speed chase; basically have his confrontation be a test of every ability Batman has and design it to encourage players to max out their skill tree before engaging.

    Great video! Really wish Deathstroke got more love and attention in the series.
    FYI in the Arkham Knight Genesis comic, Jason actually broke out himself during the chaos of Joker’s takeover and Deathstroke was hired after the fact to return (or kill I forget which) him. But Jason is able to bribe Slade not to, leading to their partnership.

    It's a decent fight for sure, but it just makes me realize that the combat system isnt designed for 1v1 encounters. A lock-on mechanic wouldve made it so much better.
    And with that in mind, I truly think that a Soulslike Batman game would be INCREDIBLE. Just imagine being able to make your own build and having an actual focus on boss fights.

    Deathstroke was obviously awesome in Origins. My only criticism is that the fight happened *too soon* in the story. I wish it had happened more towards the middle of the game. Maybe it's a point in Slade's favor that he found Batman so soon, but it means he gets forgotten for the rest of the game and is gone too soon.
    As for Knight...yeah, we all know why he was bad in Knight lol. He definitely deserved a hand-to-hand fight, along with the Arkham Knight as well. Slade getting knocked out with a single punch was criminal.

    Honestly it should've been the cloudburst knockoff and then slade escapes, you have to chase him around gotham and then the final fight like the one you described takes place on the lady of gotham/wayne tower, where it ends with you and deathstroke fighting mid-air. AK had soo much potential and had such a great story, great mechanics, gadgets, etc. but none of that potential was actually used.

    Giving DS these titles has gotta be the funniest thing ever. Imagine needing super steroids to compete and still getting your ass handed to you by your opponent not even breaking a sweat. There’s a reason DS is considered a TT adversary and even then barely. Man needs to fight literal teens because the grown ups know he’s a joke.
    His pathetic showcase in Arkham Knight was honestly inevitable.

    Overall I don’t think he was underused but He certainly was underutilized. When playing as him you can’t use his swords or Guns which is a HUGE letdown and his boss fight in knight is pathetic and could have been so much better. Death stroke in himself isn’t much of a Batman villain though he’s more of dick graysons villain so if he only was on origins it would be perfectly fine and him not playing much of a role in knight is understandable
