Having Slade as one of the final villains here brings this saga full circle. His goal has been the same as always, which is to, of course, kill Batman. However, during the final battle when he and the other villains are having activated a ticking nuclear bomb that'll blow up much of Gotham as a whole, he sees how much pain Bruce is in from being beaten by Bane and the others, and is immediately reminded of his late daughter Rose. Realizing what he's done was wrong, Slade turns on his own comrades and even sacrifices himself alongside Bruce when the bomb inevitably goes off, which brings a swift end to his journey as a character in this story through his death and redemption.
