#1 Deathstroke’s signature weapon is his energy lance.
This might seem silly, but bare with me because this is actually, weirdly crucial.
Yes, Deathstroke is quite capable with all manner of weapons, even a broadsword made of Promethium. His bare hands rarely let him down, as well. But if we’re banking on a Deathstroke that differentiates him from other live-action characters he’s similar to (as in Deadpool and Deadshot), then the energy lance is a no-brainer.
Deadpool (an intentional parody of the character) has the pistols and katana. Deadshot (in the same movie universe) has the body armor and again, pistols. To avoid confusion and unfair comparisons, Deathstroke absolutely needs his standard weapon, the energy lance. It allows him to fire energy blasts in addition to being a blunt weapon, and it’s certainly a unique fighting style we haven’t seen against the Batman already. At least not on the big screen.
