In DC Rebirth, Deathstroke, along with Lady Shiva, is mentioned as one of the enemies that Batman thinks may be attacking him on Two-Face‘s orders. He also stars in an ongoing series where he has a change of conscience and recruits a team of young superheroes to redeem his past misdeeds. In addition, he has come into contact with the African hero Red Lion/President Matthew Bland of Buredunia. Bland offers him a high sum for making sure his competition was not bringing in US forces, in exchange for Slade’s Ikon Suit made of Promethium for his own suit. He attempts to save his son by using Speed Force energy off from Kid Flash, but he was thwarted by both Titans and Teen Titans.
