CBR: David Hine on Deathstroke's Return

[CBR News]

Writer David Hine is charged with the task of rebuilding the Terminator in “Faces
of Evil: Deathstroke.” And what better weapon to have in your arsenal than a good
old fashioned killing spree? We spoke with Hine about the DC one-shot.

This could be interesting to see how it turns out.

[Deathstroke]

Oh man, don't tell me he's going to kill spoilers:

Rose

end of spoilers, I'll be totally pissed!

Oh man, I cant believe people still buy into that `only use part of our brain capacity' falacy. Its not true, its never been true, its been proven not to be true, and if Deathstroke can use 100% of his brain power, he's just like the rest of us. Ok, we never use it all at any one time, just like we never use all our muscles at any one time (if we did that, we wouldnt be able to walk, we'd break cups when trying to pick them up, we'd be pretty useless all round reall) but rather we use the muscles or the part of our brain needed for any given task. I mean if what we, or say Deathstroke, is trying to do is have a sword fight with Green Arrow it'd be completely conterproductive to use the part of our brain that stores all the song-lyrics we've ever memorised, or the part that tells us when we're tasting something sour or that we need to go to the toilet. Can't we just say his brain is super-humanly fast and efficient and leave it comics vague like that?

Ok rant over...

I'll probably buy this comic. I like Deathstroke, and Hine is certainly at his best when writing villains.

and David Hine really has me pumped up for this.

What if Deathstroke and Prometheus tangled ? Now there's a story waiting to be told.

I guess I'm the only one still steamed over the Bludhaven thing, then?

[Greg Anderson]

Hine writing is bound to be fun.

...who's that? ;)

Looks great. Let's hope that spoilers:

Rose

end of spoilers is OK though. A flash back from Wintergreen would be nice too.

I'll wait until I read the issue, but Deathstroke isn't supposed to be the killing spree type....then again he's done a lot of things out of character lately...

Does Deathstroke have a Cybernetic eye now replacing his missing one? I thought I saw him use it a while ago but I haven't read up on him in a while, thanks.

I don't remember ever seeing that myself...

maybe you're thinking of Deathlok, the marvel cyborg?

Maybe it was a alternate version or robot version. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, it does make sense. DS's powers give him the ability to simultaneously access the more cognitive side of the brain and the more artistic, expressionistic side, as well as being fully aware of all of his senses, while at the same time being able to access his full memory. Very useful in a fight or in planning strategies and tactics.

I'm hoping this mini rocks. I can't take any more poor, out-of-character DS stories. Please, no "I want to rule the world" story.
