Injustice trailer reveals Deathstroke
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 28, 2012 11:45am PSTWarner Bros has unveiled another pugilist from fight 'em up Injustice: Gods Among Us's lineup, confirming the stabby-shooty Deathstroke for its DC Comics brawl-o-rama. "Who's Deathstroke?" you may ask. Why, he's the mercenary Deadpool ripped off, only less interesting than Marvel's character turned out to be.
As a chap happy with both swords and shooting irons, Deathstroke looks to have some meaty attacks for both, not to mention a horrendously violent move combining the two.
Developed by NetherRealm Studios, the folks behind the fine Mortal Kombat reboot, Injustice is coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U in April 2013.

Deathstroke has been a big player in DC since long before 'Deadpool's popularity'. What's funny is Deadpool was just a very poorly conceived rip-off of Deathstroke made by Rob Liefield and was originally very serious, just like his counterpart. It wasn't until a few years into his inception that he started getting -goofy-, mostly to make fun of his own thievish origin and the excesses of 90s EXTREME. And now...Rob Liefield draws Deathstroke. Or at least he did, until he got himself fired for being an idiot.
And Deadpool hasn't been relevant in years. Aside from a great performance in Uncanny X-Men, he's usually just an "LOL RANDUM" throw-away gag who is more cringeworthy than fun. Though that probably explains why he is popular.
