The 8 Best Moments From Batman #28

Deadshot vs. Deathstroke

When you think of the two biggest mercenaries in DC Comics, the names Deadshot and Deathstroke should be at the top of your list. While their agendas and motives are significantly different, their lethalness and accuracy are the same. So, what happens when you pit them against each other in battle?

You get a stalemate with tons of casualties (sixty-two to be precise), of course. It’s a brutal bloodbath, and King and Janín pull no punches or sympathies for this villainous death match. These guys are coldblooded killers and they leave a trail of bodies in their wake. To paraphrase Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad: they’re bad guys; it’s what they do.

At the same time, the importance of Batman to Gotham is made indisputably clear here. He’s the only person who can take down these two rogues – and he does so, simultaneously. Yes, you read that correctly. He took down two of his greatest foes in the same battle, with only his hands and feet as weapons. So, please, tell us again how Iron Man is superior to the Dark Knight?
