Deathstroke: Arkham Assassin is Outstanding!

When people think of fan films, terrible acting, cheesy costumes, and cardboard scenery usually come to mind. But in directors Chris and Larry White's 2014 fan film Deathstroke: Arkham Assassin, viewers are treated to a very good presentation of what a larger budget studio treatment of Slade could possibly be. The 8-minute film takes place just prior to to events of Batman: Arkham Origins video game with crime boss Black Mask putting together a team of assassins to bring down a new-on-the-scene Dark Knight. In Deathstroke: Arkham Assassin, professional-grade camera work, adequate acting, excellent costuming and fight choreography all come together for a really enjoyable short film. But don't just take my word for it. On the filmmakers' YouTube channel (GoingNowhereShow) the comments section tells viewers to, "share our vid if you enjoyed it," so I have done just that here. This short film has been viewed over 1.2 million times as of this writing. Enjoy!

P.S. I suggest watching this at fullscreen on the largest screen on which you can show it.
