A few months back, news broke that DC and Marvel Comics would collaborate on a crossover event. The first one in over twenty years, published via two one-shot issues. We didn’t have any details then, but now we do. The first DC/Marvel crossover will star Batman and Deadpool, and it will feature two new one-shots, one published by Marvel Comics and one by DC Comics. They’ll be titled Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool, respectively. Let’s check out what we know about the epic Marvel and DC crossover below.
Marvel Comics’ Deadpool/Batman Is Coming in September
Marvel’s issue will tell the story of Deadpool taking a job in Gotham City that “puts him in the crosshairs of the World’s Greatest Detective”… aka, Batman. This one-shot is written by Zeb Wells (Amazing Spider-Man) and drawn by fan-favorite Batman artist Greg Capullo. The Deadpool/Batman comic issue from Marvel Comics arrives on September 17.
Along with the main Batman and Deadpool one-shot, there will be a lineup of “backup adventures” that feature “Exciting Marvel and DC character match-ups.” No details on those have been revealed yet. Here’s what writer Zeb Wells had to say on the upcoming crossover issue (via EW):
After writing Amazing Spider-Man for 60 issues, I told Marvel I needed a break. Marvel told me I could do that or I could write a comic starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I no longer needed a break. In Batman we’ve found someone who has even less time for Deadpool’s antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It’s been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens.
Greg Capullo, artist on Scott Snyder’s now-legendary run on Batman, had this to say about working on Deadpool/Batman:
Am I dreaming? This crossover is likely to be the high point of my career…and, I’ve had a great career,” the artist adds via email. “Some of my earliest work (many years ago) was on X-Force, so Deadpool and I go way back. More recently, I spent 10-plus years drawing Batman at DC. The idea that I get to do a crossover event with Deadpool and Batman…If I am dreaming, please don’t wake me!
DC Comics’ Batman/Deadpool Comic Arrives in November
Meanwhile, DC Comics will publish Batman/Deadpool #1 in November. This one is by legendary writer Grant Morrison, with art by Justice League Unlimited artist Dan Mora.
Here’s what Morrison, one of the premier Batman writers of all time, had to say about returning to the Dark Knight for this unique event:
I don’t do many comics these days but there was no way I could turn down the chance to work with Dan Mora again, one of my all-time favourite artistic collaborators—and definitely no way I could turn down Batman and Deadpool! Expect 4th wall busting mayhem, owls, blood, blades, and at least one giant typewriter!
Did Morrison say “owls?” Does that mean Wade Wilson and Bruce Wayne are going to fight the Court of Owls? Or Batman’s twisted counterpart, Owlman? Anything is possible. Here’s what Dan Mora had to say about getting the chance to tackle these two superhero icons together:
This is more than I ever imagined I could do in my career, and it is a huge honor to be part of this crossover: it doesn’t happen too often, and I am a HUGE Deadpool fan! When I first worked with Grant, I didn’t know what to expect but it was an incredible team-up. I always hoped to work with Grant again, and working on Batman/Deadpool is like a dream come true. Grant and I working together on this once-in-a-lifetime project is going to be such a fun experience.
We Are Crossing Our Fingers for More DC and Marvel Comics Crossovers
Will there be more crossovers to come? We certainly hope this is not the end of the DC/Marvel crossovers. After all, we’ve never had a Justice League/X-Men comic, and we’re long overdue for one.
