Deathstroke's Batcave Proves He'll Always be the Teen Titans' Archenemy
Warning: contains spoilers for Deathstroke Inc #8!
The Teen Titans have no greater foe than Deathstroke, and his twisted version of the Batcave proves why. Over the years, Deathstroke has seesawed between anti-hero and outright villain, but he has always had a deep, unabating hatred for the Teen Titans. In Deathstroke Inc. #8, on sale now in print and digital, Slade, on the run from the authorities, holes up in a secret base—one designed to strike at the heart of the Teen Titans.
Deathstroke first appeared in 1980’s New Teen Titans #2, created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez; he was hired by H.I.V.E. to kill the Titans. Deathstroke was unsuccessful in his mission, and since then he has nurtured a grudge against the team. Deathstroke’s morality is ambiguous, meaning he has sometimes found himself fighting side-by-side with DC's heroes. Now, Deathstroke has been framed for the murder of Ra’s Al Ghul and must clear his name while trying to find the real murderer. Before he was framed, Deathstroke reformed the Secret Society, and now his small army of villains are at war with Ghul’s League of Assassins, bent on avenging their former master. With the heat on him like it has never been before, Deathstroke is on the run, and in Deathstroke Inc #8, he returns to an abandoned base—one that shows just how deep his hatred for the Teen Titans runs.
