* Upon noticing their similar fighting styles as a result of Alfred's training and it is also similar to that of Batman's, Deathstroke pieces together the clues and pulls of an impressive feat no one had did in the show, to deduce on his own that Bruce Wayne is Batman.
* Through a combination both his brains and physical prowess, he remains to be one of the 2 only people to ever manage to ever one-up Anarky.
* He will skillfully adapt to any unexpected foresights and change his plan accordingly, hiring himself out as Anarky and Dent's mercenary to kill Batman and make himself look like a hero to drag Batman down before eventually killing him soon, or when Batman figures out Dane was the imposter Batman, Deathstroke uses false sympathy to lower his guard, when Batman tried luring him to a trap to use a helicopter to escape or forcing Bruce to nearly give up beign Batman upon having knowledge of his identity.
* Upon noticing Batman's lack of restraint and slowly going over the edge as a result of Alfred's absence, Deathstroke lures Batman to a fight just to test Batman and see it for himself for his plan to frame Batman later on.
