I thought they were trying to remove his association with the Teen Titans and all, yet in Batwoman, Flamebird referenced fighting Deathstroke (At leas Batwoman replied it must have been one of his off days). I found that a little annoying, but it might not be that bad...
Also do people like Deathstroke better as a ruthless killer or one with a more traditional code of honor?

The latter, by far. I'd go as far as to say I don't like Higgins' view of Deathstroke as a character in the least, but beggars can't be choosers.
As for Flamebird, Stroke hadn't even met her in New Earth continuity to my recollection, so I think it's more so a slip on behalf of the writer to make the book sound a part of a larger picture as opposed to being something of actual importance. Higgins has stated we won't be seeing Rose or the Titans anytime soon, though, but I guess that's also up to Lobdell, or any other writer who may wish to use him as an antagonist.

Haha it is funny to see you talk about not liking the new Deathstroke while having a Deathstroke Avatar and sig Yeah I'm sure it was a slip up, but one that annoyed me for some reason. |

Well, Higgins does write Nightwing, as well as Deathstroke, maybe he'll choose to address some of the continuity issues between them at some point, since they have interracted heavily both 1on1 and with the Titans. |

How is Deathstroke being portrayed now? I kinda like to think of him as DC's Boba Fett (the code of honor thing)

His one and only character trait so far is badass. I'd say he's like Darth Maul in that respect, but I already made that joke.  |

Interestingly enough he does have a very bullseye like feat in the book (Slicing a fly in half with a paper clip) Man that felt stupid and out of place.

Give the man one story arc before deciding to throw your shit at him.
