I feel like this information is important to have so I went through the entire roster and listed which characters can backdash Deathstroke's B2,3,F2. For those that don't know, this is Deathstroke's overhead string that is mainly used after a blocked F3, blocked jump 3, or after the combo D1/B2,2 xx MB Sword Spin, dash, Sword Flip on hit. Against certain characters, Deathstroke can do B2,2 instead and be safe. Some characters can do D2 to punish B2,3,F2 too.
Characters who can't backdash B2,3,F2:
Aquaman
Ares
Batgirl (close range)
Deathstroke
The Flash
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Hawkgirl
The Joker
Lobo
Nightwing (Staff Stance)
Raven
Scorpion
Solomon Grundy
Wonder Woman (Sword Stance)
Zatanna
Characters who can backdash B2,3,F2 but can't punish B22:
Bane
Black Adam (far range)
Lex Luthor
Shazam
Characters who can backdash B2,3,F2 and can punish B22:
Batman (Slide Kick, Trait)
Batgirl (far range) (Cartwheel / dash, Flying Bat)
Black Adam (close range) (instant-air Far Boot Stomp)
Catwoman (Cat Dash)
Cyborg (Techno Tackle)
Doomsday (Venom)
Harley Quinn (instant-air Oopsy Daisy)
Killer Frost (Iceberg)
Martian Manhunter (Trait, 3)
Nightwing (Escrima Stance) (B2 xx Flip Kick)
Sinestro (B1,3 / Trait)
Superman (Flying Punch)
Wonder Woman (Lasso Stance) (Straight Tiara / instant-air Demigoddess' Might)
Zod (Phantom Strike / Zod Charge)
Characters who can do D2 to punish B2,3,F2:
Catwoman (close range)
The Flash (close range)

Notes:
- All characters with parries can use parry to punish B2,3,F2.

- Batman and Sinestro can use Trait to punish B2,3,F2.
- Hawkgirl can use Wing Evade xx 3 to punish B2,3,F2.
- Harley Quinn and Nightwing (Escrima Stance) can't backdash out of D1/B2,2 xx MB Sword Spin, dash, Sword Flip, dash, dash, B2,3,F2.
- Solomon Grundy can use Walking Corpse to punish B2,3,F2.
- Wonder Woman (Lasso Stance) can D1,2 to punish B2,3,F2.
Thanks to @Youphemism for helping me out with the DLC characters and @Vagrant for informing me about characters punishing with D2. And also Slips who's been doing this since day 1 lol.
