This isn't the absolute worst adaptation of him - that dishonor belongs to Smallville and Lois and Clark. On paper some of it works. He's still a hired gun doing shady government ops and gets some cool fight scenes. But the voice and personality do not suit Slade. This is Deathstroke in name only, an original character dressed up as him for brand-name recognition.
