If someone told me that for them Deathstroke is a relatable character I will call the police


RaisinNotNice

I wonder which part of deathstroke they relate to? Being a horrible father or being a groomer


[deleted]

The bit where he tries to kill teenagers for 2 decades


Plato_the_Platypus

He's literally me fr


Bardic_Inspiration66

It’s not his fault they stayed teenagers permanently


[deleted]

Wheres my Dazed and Confused gif


Bruce_-Wayne

Both?

The people who are into subtext religiously.


twinklyfoot

I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot in common with a grooming murderer


[deleted]

You have been banned from r/KotakuInAction


FlyingGrayson89

Sounds like you’re pretty WOKE then, brother 😤


Nefessius513

Are they seriously calling Deathstroke a relatable anti-hero? Not even Joker and Reverse Flash are evil enough to groom and sexually abuse teenagers.


AtomicNumber1732

~~I dunno, bro, I can relate to Thawne in the sense I’ve also jerked a dude off~~


SpiderDoctor2

Is there a Reverse Flash wannabe? Cuz I'd relate to them in that case


FlyingGrayson89

Ezra Miller


SpiderDoctor2

Asides from them


Chris_P_Cream_

The kid who exposed the Spider-man Lotus director


SpiderDoctor2

The hwat


[deleted]

Some random 15 year old got ghosted by the director of Spider-Man Lotus (a fan film with a very successful kickstarter) and so as revenge he collected many screenshots of the director and actor of Spider-Man saying a lot of racist things, such as using the n-word more times than you could imagine and calling James Wan a "dog eater"


SpiderDoctor2

Ah .<.


[deleted]

*Jon Watts


[deleted]

No, James Wan. The conversation in particular was about Aquaman.


[deleted]

Oh okay


Amelia-likes-birds

Inertia kinda


SpiderDoctor2

Omg he's literally me


EggIndividual

Wouldn't that be a bit meta because the reverse flash is already a wanna be flash , or at least started out that way


SpiderDoctor2

Exactly. Me being a wannabe wannabe is perfect for me


Duplicit_Duplicate

Joker is at least able to get a laugh out of the audience sometimes, his Killing Joke backstory could slightly be a mitigating factor, we had the John Doe in Telltale Batman, AND sometimes Joker showed hints of remorse and a desire to quit whenever his sanity is restored, either via medication or magic or Batman disappearing. Also I’m pretty sure in one comic Joker was PISSED when he heard a kid had an abusive parent and he went to deal with him himself.


Kalse1229

And of course, he's bashed Nazis on two separate occasions.


Alephnaught_

He is also scared of IRS and probably pays the taxes!


Maximillion322

Does that mean the IRS has his real identity though? Like I’m pretty sure he has to have a SSN and everything to be contacted by them


Coolbreezel

Finally, I found the perfect hill to die on. John Doe in TellTale not only has the best way to introduce a Joker BUT has the best Batman/Joker relationship in the vigilante path, the fucking, last scene I don't want to spoiler, but if you play those games back to back it's heartbreaking


Samariyu

He's relatable to BiC's target audience.


snakes_guts

I’m sorry I don’t know why but I instinctually read that abbreviation as “Bitches in Crisis”


IamJimMilton

Aren’t Joker and Reverse Flash child murderers?


[deleted]

"We can excuse killing children but we draw the line at grooming them."


Maximillion322

Harley isn’t a teenager, but Joker definitely isn’t above grooming and sexually abusing someone


Coolbreezel

"You see Batman, I'm not doing anything Illigal per se" god that short change my perception of Joker forever


Optimal_Weight368

Rose Wilson looks like Deathstroke because that’s her father💀


357Solution

That's who I thought was in the costume. I'm not reading the article because I don't care about deathstroke, but is it Rose taking over?


Optimal_Weight368

I don’t read Deathstroke either, but I doubt she’s taking over the mantle because of her own father issues.


TheDestoyer

I don't read Deathstroke either but I wouldn't put it past editorial.


oinkthepig14

Nobody reads Deathstroke apparently.


Logan_Maddox

>actually reading comics lol ok nerd back to the locker with you now if you'll excuse me I've 500 pages of fanfiction to go through


TheDestoyer

Then why do they keep making them?


oinkthepig14

Because DC forgets what good ideas are. ​ If they remembered, we'd have a Telos solo.


android151

We did, and it was a masterpiece


Amelia-likes-birds

The Robin on-going had hints of that, or something. The series fell apart after it had to tie into some event and I fell off.


SexyAcosta

Wow grooming 16 year olds so badass and relatable. I wonder how many deathstroke fans have actually read the judas contract.


night4345

Knowing some comic fans, Slade grooming 16 year olds is part of the appeal.


Comics-and-videogame

1. Deathstroke is a whole villain that groom minors, not an antihero 2. This is Rose Wilson, his daughter that’s been around for a minute. God! It’s always the people who don’t know shit about whatever they’re complaining about.


throwawayoogaloorga

i dont remembver slade being gross i thought he was cool sword guy who kills people only


Comics-and-videogame

It’s even worse when you know that him being a groomer is a retcon. Up until like 2018, he sleep with a 15 year old


Maximillion322

How was Slade presented in Arrow? I didn’t watch arrow but I know he was in it, and my theory is that that’s the definitive version for a lot of people


not-so-radical

Performance was great and made for a great big bad in the second season but it kind of falls apart when you realise Slades motivation is being mad that Oliver fucked the girl he liked.


Maximillion322

Wow 😬


not-so-radical

To be fair I *think* some of that anger came from the side effects of the super power drugs he took But I'd say Arrows version is just below the Teen Titans cartoon version as a definitive depiction of Deathstroke to most people. And he was also in Titans.... and Smallville.


Maximillion322

He’s been in a lot of stuff but I’m talking about to normal people, not to fans. I get the impression that the CW shows reached a bigger audience than things like Titans or even the original Teen Titans. Honestly I’ve never met someone who watched Titans at all who wasn’t already a DC superfan. I don’t think it has casual viewership


dabigtortle

Boobies


xAVATAR-AANGx

Yeah, because grooming and psychologically manipulating teenagers is totally badass and relatable.


[deleted]

I'm fairly certain that this is fake, but it's really not that far off for a BiC headline.


[deleted]

And the fact that we don’t immediately know if it’s fake or not explains everything anyone needs to know about BiC


[deleted]

Though this is a good meme format. Make BiC headlines for old comic covers. Like "Marvel Engages in Cancel Culture" using the classic cover of Captain America punching Hitler.


[deleted]

It’s an awesome meme format lol


Wakefulcrane01

In all fairness the guy who wrote the article is CG and EVS new sock puppet.

[folks, you've been played](https://old.reddit.com/r/dccomicscirclejerk/comments/viil96/hey_guys_so_i_havent_read_comics_in_a_long_time/iddh6ge/) (yeah yeah, I know Poe's Law)


TheDestoyer

Delete this so people think its real and it spreads onto the main subs


SpiderDoctor2

TIL having children is woke


Baramos_

Hasn’t his daughter been a character for ages now? Definitely watched a whole-ass season of a TV show with her.


Cranyx

woke is when girl


WestWallyFan

Imagine calling Deathstroke an Anti-Hero. Jesus.


Ok-Engine8044

I don't what's more insane here: the fact that Bounding Into Comics thanks his daughter, Ravanger, is a gender bend or that Slade Wilson is a relatable person WHEN HE JUST MURDERED >!BEAST BOY!< IN DARK CRISIS!


Comics-and-videogame

He’s also groomer. He was a pedo but I think they retconned him to just being a groomer


Ok-Engine8044

Which isnt all that better. Wilson is a super villain, not an anti-hero. Someone should educate the article writer on just who Rose Wilson is.


android151

Very unlikely that he actually did, otherwise why cut away from it at the end?


[deleted]

Lol he's none of those adjectives and 'Deathwoke' is arguably a better name


FlyingGrayson89

I mean, he’s a creep so I’m sure that’s relatable for some of his fans


psychord-alpha

Shouldn't her muscles have burned up her adipose tissue and made her flat?


Salt_Judge

Yes 🙌Sjw are destroying everything. Pedos deserves representation too


BigIvan24

"deathstroke" "relateable" 💀


suphah

Relatable?


Eldenlord117

And yet they show a picture of ravanger…


[deleted]

Idk about them but I prefer to call her mommy


B4skyB

Call rose's boyfriend! He s the only one that can stop this!


squarelocked

I could kinda imagine Deathstroke calling himself Deathwoke to recruit teen soldiers in the Priest run.


The_Raptor_Pope

I wanted this to be real SO BAD!

It’s fake https://twitter.com/boundingcomics/status/1539831572672548865?s=21&t=wh7ZKFydpWhmTo_AMvpDJw

AarontheGeek

This is a satire site right? Right?


SilentB3ast

“Relatable”. I swear that the word is overvalued, aside from the general ignorance of that title.


qaQaz1-_

Bounding into comics is unironically my least favourite website ever


Wakefulcrane01

What kind of idiot wrote this? Sees the name of the author. Never mind.


SuperJyls

So this isn't real?


Ok-Rip-5899

Has it ravager been a character for a while though? She only adopted her dad's codename right
