"Deathstroke nearly beat the team of Elongated Man, Flash, Zatanna, Hawkman, Green Arrrow...."

[WhenWeWereKings]

I know it seems crazy they would act stupid going up against deathstroke flash should have totally been able to dodge that sword in a nanosecond. idiot. and the GL goddamit. IDK i dont think he was ready for deathstroke none of them was. Ollie was the only one who saved their asses and got lucky.

The Deathstroke fight wasn't even the worst part of this story. The clues didn't match the reveal of the killer with some of the evidence directly contradicting it. That's flatout bad writing. The death of Tim Drake's father was pointless, they brought in Batman, the Metal Men, Mr. Miracle, Animal Man, the Atom and NONE of them established who the killer was or found any evidence implicating the killer?!?!

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

This story had MASSIVE plot induced stupidity.
Remember this is Wally West Flash who wasn't fast enough to fukkin dodge a sword.........

I'm done right there. The flash force is strong enough to break the bonds of THE ANTI LIFE EQUATION, and wally west is fast enough to travel through time and OUTRACE DEATH.

But a sword behind the back? Cant defy that one

But remember the GL's has weaknesses

It was actually a sword through his sholder he tried to attack slade from behind like he thought he would and slade knew. flash didnt see it slade had the sword there the whole time on some slight of hand shyt. But i believe you...

I dont even remember how that whole crisis shyt ended with Dr.Light was found to raped Sue dibney and the JLA erased his memory when they caught him which pissed batman off, and they erased his memory too.

Prep Time, if you have it, you can beat a team of super heroes...You know Batman has files on how to "Neutralize" every member of the league. But I read this comic when it came out and Deathstroke for putting in that work.....

The end of Identity Crisis....

 

[Mr. Negative]

Prep time wasn't the issue here.

There was no prep time for anyone but Zatanna and Ray Palmer.

The rest was sheer stupidity.

ESPECIALLY the shyt with Wally and Kyle.

At this point in his career, Kyle would have said " oh shyt it's deathstroke!" and nuked him from orbit.

Wally would have done ANYTHING but get close. This isn't some-

Look, most people don't realize it, but Wally had been doing the superhero thing his ENTIRE LIFE. Dude was best friends with Nightwing and Arsenal, for fukks sake.

You REALLY think he would have ran into Slades fukking sword?

Yes very true. But Kyle wanted to fight him in a damn street fight and got his hand broken. first thing he should have done was get airbourne. I wonder if batman was around calling out the plays it probably have went down better.

And this was ION Kyle at that.

Dude wouldn't have punched the Rainbow Raider. Actually, I've never seen Kyle punch anyone with his fist in my life.

That Deathstroke vs the JLA fight was stupid and showed that Meltzer was a huge fanboy of Deathstroke (and Green Arrow too).
However, and this is coming from my foggy recollection of the story, the clues were laid out pretty well because they seemed to point to The Atom as the killer which had message boards going nuts for a while thinking DC was going to have him be the culprit.
Plus it used the real killers familiarity with The Atom's technology and history of mental illness as a plausible motivation.

Batman?? These are all sr members of the Justice League and they performed like rookies.. Kyle who probably had the least experience was already WELL into his GL career so that's not even an excuse. Even worse Wally has been fighting Slade since he was kid flash. He's had YEARS worth of experience fighting him and he falls for a sword behind the back trick??? The last thing he would even do is attempt to get close to Slade.

GL trying to punch Slade would have been fine if this was Hal Jordan. Kyle was the artist, the kid at heart....dude was always known for his outlandish constructs. He never was a fisticuffs character. Him trying punch Slade was not only absurd. It's massively out of character.

As for the clues pointing to the Atom it did not until almost the end of the story. (Book 6 of 7) but the evidence should've pointed to Jean right away. She was in Sue's apartment FULLY grown holding the flame gun but she left NO trace evidence whatsover that Mr. Miracle, the Ray, Batman, Animal Man, Metamorpho or the damn Atom couldn't find? .The story clearly states there was no sign of forced entry or not even a carpet fiber was out of place. The sensors in her apartment showed that a door or window was never opened. The walls were lined with "some Thanagarian device that can record if someone phased through the walls. Sue's apartment was equiped with security tech which was Kryptonian, Apokaliptan, Martian and Wayne Tech. Animal Man did not find a scent which clearly is implying that we were dealing with a killer who is not human, possibly magical or has some really really advance technology........ Secondly the Atom, Mr. Miracle or Batman would have and should have looked in the shrinking direction after all of those factors. But the story clearly shows a fully grown person burning Sue and contradicts the evidence presented that nothing in the apartment was disturbed....

Since I'm a Deathstroke fan, I'll set logic aside and just let him shine.

Deathstroke don't lose fades often y'all need to recognize that shyt.
