Did the writers somehow not know that Slade was his name? Or

Is this a thread for ants?

Also, the writers just fucking sucked. They fact that they pulled this exact same shit with Red X as well was pure balls.

Censors wouldn't allow them to say "death" in Deathstroke.

Yeah, professional writers who had access to internet and comics and were stationed at DC animation didn't know fucking Deathstroke's first name was Slade. Great fucking critical thinking, OP. Keep up the great work.

when i was a kid, i didnt know who deathstroke was
so i thought Slad was Batman pretending to be a bad guy to toughen Robin and the other TT up

Even when he was a skeleton man?

Not like Batman never died before.

what do you mean? when bb wrote that red x was todd?

>>81777181
No, they built up the who is Slade shit for the whole first season and then they did it again with Red X, both times ending with just "they're just them, hurr."

"Slade" fit the character design and VA much better than "Deathstroke" would have.

In fairness, the "who is Deathstroke the Terminator" thing is a storyline from the comics.

It's just that it's kind of pointless when you already have his name.

It always amuses me somewhat when Deathstroke shows up in other media now and they're like 'who was known at the time to the Titans as Slade' so the normies aren't confused.

They couldn't use Deathstroke because DC wouldn't allow them because Justice League was running at the same time. They didn't want any overlap over the characters of either show in the other. This is why you don't actually see a cameo of Batman, because he was forbidden to be used in Teen Titans. What's funny though is that they used the voices of the Teen Titans in Justice League, but not the characters, as a faux cameo. But overall, this is why they called him Slade, because DC forbid Deathstroke in case Justice League was to use him.
