It's from DC's site, I'll copy everything here though.
>I wanted to begin by asking the question of alignment. Do you see Deathstroke as a hero, villain or anti-hero?
He’s a villain. He is unquestionably a villain. He’s Darth Vader. He is a bad guy.
>So how do you approach a story where you’re asking readers to cheer for the villain?
I think to adopt Deathstroke’s attitude, it’s the readers’ problem to work out. [laughs]
If you look at the film Collateral with Tom Cruise. Half of the audience is rooting for the assassin character and half of the audience is rooting for Jamie Foxx’s character, but at the end of the day, the Cruise character, no matter how much you want to like him, he’s a bad guy. He runs around and kills people. So my approach to Deathstroke is he’s a hired killer. He’s an assassin. He’s a bad guy, and he’s the world’s worst bad.
I think Slade is ultimately amoral and a sociopath. I think he struggles with relationships and so forth, but he’s addicted to the action. He’s addicted to the run and gun and the challenge of different things.
>Can you tell us a bit about your story? Where is Slade Wilson when we first look in on him?
He is in what we consider his status quo. He’s gone off to assassinate someone, and there are complications along the way. But basically, what we’re dealing with for the first half a year of the series is a sort of rebuilding process. We’re redefining Deathstroke himself and reintroducing his supporting cast, who have been systematically shot, stabbed and thrown off rooftops over the years. Over the years, just about everybody in his circle of family and friends have been wiped out for one reason or another
The Rebirth issue is mainly Slade’s book, and then in issue #1, we bring Wintergreen back into the fold. But those issues are basically one story told in two parts. They’re sort of our series pilot, if you want to look at it in that way.
