Bataille sought a synthesis of Hegel's lord and Nietzsche's master. He wound up rejecting Hegel's notions that you still have to do things and thought that the opposite was some sort of subliminity that goes beyond anything you can do but decided that saying it would render the master a slave. This goes back to the op in the sense that it is once again difficult to take Bataille seriously, and his material can be entertaining so I don't mean this in a pejorative way. It is a gross misreading of Hegel though, and I've always associated Bataille to Nietzsche.
I haven't read Deleuze's core works yet but based on what I have read I'm inclined to say there might be a link between the 2 but there also seems to be a disconnect in the sense that neither wants to be the slave but both also want meaning. I highly recommend Kojeve, if you want to truly understand Hegel you have to do both and reach the synthesis on your own, the odds any given person has been the master for their entire life is slim to none, and realization is contingent on this, anything else is cope. The alternative is realizing it too late and being forced into Bataille's dilemma or trying to retroactively find the best possible slave morality only to realize the acquisition thereof renders whatever intrinsic material was acquired to be moot or at the very least lacking in relevance. At that point it is even more difficult to perform a balance and Derrida's refusal to agreement is your only option with Hegel but that does nothing for the contributor and means nothing to Hegel, or Nietzsche for that matter.
Both Hegel and Nietzsche's philosophies incorporate the natural state as normative. This is something to keep in mind when reading subsequent contributors.
