First, Deathstroke is Slade in my mind now because Teen Titans is the only media I know him from, and the knowledge that he's taking another blonde apprentice who we know will eventually betray him is a little too similar, though really great. It's the perfect wink at TT fans, in my case.

Besides, I'll love the fact that Nightwing HAS to show a little more attention to Slade (Wilson) than the other baddies to look after Artemis, though the others are likely to blame it all on obsession. KF probably can't because he has to look like he's only angry at Aqualad.
