Here's something about Slade Strikes Back no knew except for just recently with Bender and Slade

Slade and Bender were working together without anyone noticing it!, After the encounter with Joker with the Crocodile in Peter Pan saving Lady Devimon we learn that Bender was working with Slade since he made a big mess of Joker's goons and some of his followers where Slade arrives and tells him how many times does he have to clean up his messes!

Everyone: WHAT?, He was working for the enemy?

Yes he was, and Slade, him and Anti Cosmo hid this from the heroes and the villains as Bender cut a deal with Slade during the funeral of the heroes' parents which was to Stop The Joker since Slade was aware of his exixtence due to his ambush on Scourge. Meaning Slade couldn't land on a figure on Dib since Bender's deal with him had the clause to not attack Dib or his friends, but Bender also had to keep Dib and the others away from Slade to insure of their success against The Joker. And no one knew about this deal except The Joker later on.

How that's for a twist!, It was orginally a plan I had for the story but I couldn't do it due to time. I got this idea from Supernatural Season 6 with the big reveal in the final 4 end episodes about Castiel and him working with Crowley
