Damn Manu Bennett's Deathstroke was badass

Just binge watched my Arrow Season 2 DVD set and damn - Deathstroke was badass. Even in the flashbacks on Season 1 on the island when Ollie hadn't been trained to fight yet and Slade comes out of nowhere and slashes everyone with his swords. He was menacing, intimidating, was ten steps ahead of Ollie all the time. Used people to get what he wanted and disposed of them once he was done, it was great. You really felt that Ollie couldn't do it, that Slade had broken him that badly. Even Ollie didn't think he could do it.

Joe Manganiello's Slade has a hell of a lot to live up to for me. He's definitely got the presence from the seconds of footage Affleck released though.

Just some of Slade's badassery from the island.

2 has definitely been the best season and Manu was a big reason why.

I think Joe can pull it off, at least the Deathstroke they're going for; cuz to be honest, I don't even think Manu really nailed the "real" Deathstroke (i.e. the one from the books) either. Though he did excel in the version they gave us.

Bennett's been great, but as far as Deathstroke my heart will always belong to Ron Perlman:

That's not Deathstroke, that's Slade. Main difference - Slade knows Deathstroke is a silly name.

Plus everybody knows the greatest Deathstroke of all time was played by Antonio Sabato Jr.

Arrow's Deathstroke was funny when he was told he was being called Deathstroke by Ollie.

Slade: "It's a bit flamboyant. I like it."
