* ContinuitySnarl: Slade's use of the Speed Force when changing the past. It's been established that it's ''incredibly difficult'' to change the past via timetravel in the DCU, and it's definitely not as easy as Slade makes it seem, where he apparently did it ''numerous'' times in his attempt to save Grant. The fact that he could even time-travel without a Cosmic Treadmill is also a bit of a snarl, as it's been established that only Barry Allen can use the Speed Force to time-travel with anything even resembling accuracy without one, and he's the guy who ''generates'' the stuff ''and'' had to absorb ''all of it'' into himself.

-->'''[[http://www.multiversitycomics.com/interviews/priest-lazarus-contract/ Christopher Priest]]:''' Grant has always been the key to Deathstroke. Before Grant’s death, Deathstroke was no angel, but he was more or less an agent of change who took assignments which were typically about taking out bad or corrupt people more so than, say, killing The Pope. His son’s death unhinged him, after which Deathstroke could fairly be considered “evil” in a way he hadn’t actually been before.
Added DiffLines:
-->'''Christopher Priest:''' Both Grant and Tanya represent the hole in Slade’s heart, the space he keeps trying to fill and the engine that fuels Deathstroke. This creates a kind of ends justify the means myopia. He has an enormous blind spot to the suffering he causes others (as regularly seen in this book), so, for him, steamrolling the Wallys is just another day at the office.
Added DiffLines:
-->'''Christopher Priest:''' As I see him, Slade Wilson is severely emotionally stunted. He is a person who wishes to love and be loved but is capable of neither. By the time of the climax to ‘Twilight,’ Deathstroke has alienated his two surviving children and his best friend. He knows he’s screwed things up for real, and possibly forever. But, rather than admit he was wrong or apologize, he cooks up this cockamamie scheme to journey to the past in an effort to un-do all the harm he has caused.

'''''The Lazarus Contract''''' is a 2017 comic book crossover between ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'', ''ComicBook/TeenTitansRebirth'' and ''ComicBook/DeathstrokeRebirth'', written by Dan Abnett, Benjamin Percy and Christopher Priest. It takes place in the May issues of those series, ending in a ''Teen Titans Lazarus Contract Special'' #1.
After the numerous tragedies his family has suffered, Slade Wilson has found a way to resurrect his dead son, Grant Wilson, the first Ravager who died fighting the Teen Titans. To do so, he needs Wally West and the Speed Force.
The crossover looks to clear up the ContinuitySnarl of the Titans' post-Flashpoint history, as well as Deathstroke's relationship with the team, both of which were initially RetGone'd. The story also features the first meeting between both Titans teams.
!!''The Lazarus Contract'' has examples of:

* DealWithTheDevil: Slade offers one: if one of the Wallys helps him go back in time to save his kid, he will never be Deathstroke again, saving all the lives he takes.
* LetThemDieHappy: In the initial flashback, Slade tells Grant that he managed to kill the Teen Titans before he dies.
