DC as everyone well knows here, has finally decided to revamp all the classic looks of their characters. Well...here's the revamped look for Deathstroke now.

And I must say...it's not too bad. I love the classic look of DC's most badass mercenary but this one is pretty cool too. It looks more cybernetic...and I love that he's wearing his dog-tags on the outside.

Deathstroke will reclaim his fearsome legacy in Deathstroke#1 with help from the creative talents of- Kyle Higgins(Batman: Gates of Gotham) and artists Joe Bennett and Art Thibert.

Revamped look...



Classic look...



Post your thoughts below on how you feel about the shift for Deathstroke. Good? Bad? ...in-between?

I personally like it. Here is the link for those who might ask:

@CDB- True dude...to me he just looks a bit more cybernetic. lol

@Bane- Yeah I see your point too. It looks as though DC is giving them all more of an "armor" look now. Based off of Superman and Deathstroke's new looks. Batman it was inevitable he'd get more armor...but yeah not sure what DC is building the characters up to but whatever it is it must be something BIG for them all to be getting armored looks.

@LP4

i think the armoured look for a lot of the characters is just DC showing that they realise that spandex doesnt have much in the way of defensive properties. lol

its what confuses me about captain america to be honest, he might be a super soldier but he aint superman, he better be quick with his shield cos his tights sure as hell aint stopping a 9mm luger round, id hate to think what a mg42 would do to his leg lol

@forthesakeofnow- Hahaha true dude but doesn't Cap wear scale armor though...I think it's kevlar or something. But yeah, i agree he is no Superman. He better get something tougher on. lol

@grif- Yeah dude...too many blades. He's an orange/blue Batman. BUT with a purpose to KILL. ;D

@forthesakeofnow- Hahaha all good man. But yeah, at least Superman can pretty much wear anything and not worry about bullets...same with Deathstroke I figure what with his immortality and healing factor he is DC's Wolverine ;D

He seems more sleek and violent in his revamped stage. I am very excited and optimistic for this change.

Very impracticable costume! Think that Deathstroke could be equal and as cool as Marvel's Deadpool. But, DC is letting this charachter get away from them!

The whole DCnU looks like Heroes Reborn at this point...Right down to Liefeld on Hawk & Dove.

DC's trying WAYYY too hard to be "cool."

@SolidSnake007- Deathstroke has always been "Batman with guns" haha ;D

@Stubbz- No, it's an article from 2011...but ok whatever. :P

I love Simon Bisley. This is an awesome cover. Biz is one of the finest people on the planet, despite what might be said. He is truly the last rock star of comics.

And the original George Perez design's not a bad place to start riffing.
