Who recruits Deathstroke in the Arkham Origins post-credits scene?

Amanda Waller recruits Deathstroke in Batman: Arkham Origins’ post-credits scene. The brief sequence shows Waller approaching Deathstroke and offering him a place in the Suicide Squad, linking the game’s ending to DC’s government-run team of incarcerated or coerced criminals.

The scene follows Deathstroke’s defeat by Batman earlier in the story. He is one of eight assassins drawn to Gotham by the bounty placed on Batman, and his boss encounter is one of the campaign’s major early tests. Although Deathstroke is available in challenge maps through downloadable content, he is not playable in the main campaign.

A common mix-up is confusing this recruitment with the game’s wider cast of villains. Lex Luthor, Ra’s al Ghul, and Hugo Strange are all associated with other Batman stories or Arkham plots, but none recruits Deathstroke here. The scene specifically identifies Amanda Waller as the person assembling the Suicide Squad.
