When Deathstroke first appeared in the Teen Titans in the 80's he was one of the best characters around. He was an incredibly skilled human - not unlike Batman in his way. Why did that need to change for this film? In this iteration Slade has taken a super soldier formula (Captain America) that has given him incredible healing powers (Wolverine). At one point - testing his abilities - he punches a punchbag off its chain (Steve Rogers). His wife ends up with white highlights in her hair (Rogue) dressed in a black catsuit (Black Widow). The story also was bang average - this may as well have been a PG - the violence seemed tagged on to get a 15 certificate - not a mature story line - childish and simplistic - just the odd throat stab here and there. Animation did not set the world on fire either. How do you ruin a film about Slade Wilson? Tough ask but these guys managed it - kudos!
