The JLA jobbed for Deathstroke in Identity Crisis

In one of the worst moments in a horrible mini series Deathstroke took on the JLA and knocked many of them around like they were rank amateurs.

How did Slade KNOW who to plan his fight against? You'd plan differently for Superman or Hal Jordan than you would Hawkman or Green Arrow... so how did he know who to plan for?

And this is the JL freakin A! NOT the Teen Titans. These guys (and especially Hawkman that has CENTURIES of experience to call on) shouldn't have been beat by one guy.

The way Deathstroke took out Flash and Green Lantern was BEYOND ridiculous. Slade somehow calculated when and where Flash was going to attack him and pulls out his knife and puts it the perfect position to stab Flash (yes STAB the FLASH!!!!!). Deathstroke has only got enhanced human reflexes and while he may be smarter than the average guy the Flash has speed of light reflexes. Flash could be on top of Deathstroke and punched him in the head so often Slade would wake up and not know what happened... all this before Slade could even pull his knife out.

Then Green Lantern for some absurd reason flies over to Deathstroke and tries to punch him. WHY??? When it would have made much more sense to simply enclose Deathstroke in an energy construct. That would have ended the fight instantly. ( I know the comics can't end THAT quickly but at least have him ATTEMPT it... it's like Meltzer read Green Lantern 50-60 and still thinks Kyle is a rookie.)

In just those 2 instances Deathstroke does something he really shouldn't have been able to do, while Green Lantern arcts like a rookie again and not someone who has some experience under his belt by doing something incredibly dumb and play into Deathstroke's plan.
Why didn't Zatanna get out of range of Slade? One spell and he's down.

So many wrongs... not made right.
