If I'm gonna be honest, I think Manu Bennett made a fantastic tribute. He literally made Slade feel like a big bad. He was more intimidating than Merlyn, felt more personal than the League, and he's just a great actor in general. The accent goes a long way with his deep and fragmented voice. And his undeniable sense of style is impeccable.

[@randallflagg3700]

Even if I can understand how very young comics fans can find Manu's suit a bit clunky/hockey pads, it was such a blast when Arrow season 2 came out. The first time I watched the fight (more like one side beatdown) in the Arrow-cave, damn, there was nothing else comic-book related on TV that had ever done action scenes like that. It made the, still kinda recent "Smallville" (its action scenes at least), which had only ended 2 years before, look very outdated in comparison... Also love Esai Morales; not a huge fan of the "brow wrinkles" on the mask, but the rest is 10/10.

Loved the Arrowverse Slade and Deathstroke. They gave him a substantial story and stayed pretty true to the comics version. Although I don't think Deathstroke's origins is as tied to Oliver in the comics as it is in the show but since I've never read those comics I'm not really sure. Oh and Manu was just amazing as Slade. I still love that scene when Oliver finds him in the Queen manor having tea with his mother and the tension in the scene just kills me.

It has the mesh along the body and the plating on the shoulders and other parts, his helmet looks so clean and awesome, and to top it all off he has his signature shooting bowstaff. I simply just love how it's his classic look with a realistic take.

I feel like Deathstroke is an overvamped character. He's just supposed to be a Mercenary which unfortunately comes too often in crossroads with the Titans and other super heroes. He's not necessarily evil just hired and without morals. There is a very fine like between red hood and Slade I feel. But to just make out Slade to be a super villain is kinda overstepping it imo. He's just super good at his job.
