yes on a small ledge with no room to maneuver would favor the stronger, more durable,but less skilled opponent.
I would still say the fight being anywhere in Gotham favored Batman. Not to mention Batman was the one who kept pursuing Slade and started the conflict in the first place.

Fight being in gothem is irrlevent, it does not give him some magical powers. The fight took place on a small ledge with little room to manuaver, that with out a doubt favors the stronger, more durable and less skilled opponent. Not even sure how you could debate that.
Besides the fact that Batman had been trailing Slade for some time? And he kept doggedly attempting to chase down Slade and pursuing him when it was clear that Slade had no interest whatsoever in fighting Batman?
The fact is that Batman knew what the hell he was getting himself into and when push came to shove, Slade took him down a notch. The fight being on a narrow ledge likely didn't even factor into the depiction of Wilson beating the crap out of him. You don't need to make excuses for why Batman lost. Batman didn't.

It not an exuse it a fact. Small surface would favor the stronger and more durable opponent. You trying to discredit this notion by saying Batman tracked Slade down is irrelevent. Batman still fought him in h2h combat on a small surface. That is a fact. That scenerio favored DS, fact. Yea Batman lose and? Does not change the fact even with advantage in location the fight took place in DS, still got so beat up by Batman that he could barly stand.
SO this idea that DS beat down batman easily, is straight up BS.
^ Gladly.

Batman contends for a moment, then is savagely beaten. Then he comes back for one last sucker, and gets KOed permamanently.
Deathstroke has been beaten and drugged into hallucination, he still overpowers and beats a group of men(batman intervenes in the end)
Not sure where you're getting this "narrow ledge" argument from. I mean, c'mon. Considering Batman is a phenomenal athelete and has grappling hooks as well as intimate knowledge of Gotham City, the idea of a fighting on a precarious location such as that seriously hindering him is ridiculous. Deathstroke was and is physically superior to Batman, which enabled him to beat the shit out of Batman and leave him KTFO where as Slade just had an injured arm.
Twisting this into some kind of excuse for Batman only for Steve Rogers' benefit to discredit Deathstroke is disingenuous.

Fact: Slade did lose this encounter.
Another Fact: Slade was not even mildly interested in contending with Batman, and was otherwise preoccupied. Despite this, he still kicked Bruce's ass casually for the majority of the fight.
Yet Another Fact: Steve Rogers COULD NOT replicate such a performance.
