This post isn't so much for the hardcore Deathstroke fan, but for the fan that either wants to educate a comics newcomer or to straighten out a misinformed Arrow viewer as to what makes Slade Wilson such a freakin' cool villain. VariantComics put out the aptly named "History of Deathstroke!" video a few years back that sufficiently but succinctly introduces Deathstroke, summarizes his origin, details his powers and abilities, spotlights his major DC rivals, and provides a pretty good best of Deathstroke reading selections. The video is posted on YouTube, but can also be seen below. A word to the wise; the Deathstroke content only runs until approximately 6:56.

Nightwing: The Series is Pretty Cool!
On September 29, 2014 Nightwing: The Series launched on YouTube. Nightwing: The Series, is a five episode fan-made tv-miniseries produced by Ismahawk Studio, a small production company created by series star, Danny Shepard, and his partner, Jeremy Le. The series was funded in part through a Kickstarter campaign and was filmed in Las Vegas by director Adam Zielinski. Beacause the series depicts the launching point of Dick Grayson's solo hero career, it is only fitting that Deathstroke, played quite well by Bob Lee Dysinger, fills the role of Nightwing's first villainous adversary. As the IMDB description for the series reads...
"When his girlfriend is supposedly shot and killed, Dick Grayson quits as Robin and goes off to fight crime as Nightwing. While doing so he comes into the path of Deathstroke and has to defeat him before he kills again."
Though Deathstroke is defeated in the end (It isn't called Deathstroke: The Series after all), there is real depth and genuine menace to Slade Wilson in this series. Good action and fight choreography, decent casting with at least CW quality acting, solid camera work, and adequate effects make watching Nightwing: The Series a pretty enjoyable way to spend an hour on YouTube.
The series can be viewed on YouTube at the following links.
