Deadpool Meets Batman: The Crossover That Will Break the Internet
Deadpool Meets Batman: The Crossover That Will Break the Internet.
In a year already brimming with unexpected pop culture collisions, the most surreal and buzzworthy event is happening not on streaming platforms or in theaters, but in the pages of two oversized comic book one-shots. For the first time in decades, Marvel and DC Comics are teaming up to deliver a crossover so bold, so chaotic, and so tonally jarring that it’s already being called the most anticipated comic event of 2025. On September 17, Marvel Comics will release Deadpool/Batman #1, followed by DC Comics’ Batman/Deadpool #1 on November 19. Each issue is a standalone story, but together they form a two-part multiversal mashup that brings together the Merc with a Mouth and the World’s Greatest Detective in ways no one saw coming.
Marvel’s Deadpool/Batman #1 is written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by Greg Capullo, a creative pairing that alone is enough to raise eyebrows and expectations. Capullo, best known for his legendary run on Batman with Scott Snyder, returns to Gotham—but this time under Marvel’s roof. The premise is simple but rife with potential: Deadpool is hired for a job in Gotham City. Whether he’s there to kill, steal, or simply cause chaos hasn’t been revealed, but one thing is certain—Batman isn’t going to let Wade Wilson run wild in his city. The clash of personalities is the draw here: Deadpool’s irreverent, fourth-wall-breaking antics versus Batman’s grim, methodical intensity. It’s a tonal collision that promises both comedy and carnage.

While the main story is the headline act, Deadpool/Batman #1 also includes several backup stories that expand the crossover’s scope. Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert reunite for a Daredevil/Green Arrow team-up, Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru deliver a charming Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto tale, and Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson pair Captain America with Wonder Woman. There’s even a cosmic Rocket Raccoon/Green Lantern story by Al Ewing and Dike Ruan, and a gritty alternate universe showdown between Old Man Logan and Dark Knight Returns Batman by Frank Miller himself. These stories aren’t just filler—they’re a celebration of intercompany creativity, each one offering a unique flavor of Marvel/DC chemistry.
Then, two months later, DC Comics flips the script with Batman/Deadpool #1, a 64-page one-shot written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dan Mora. If Marvel’s issue is a chaotic buddy cop romp, DC’s is a metaphysical deep dive into the nature of comic book storytelling itself. Morrison, known for his mind-bending narratives and genre-defying work, crafts a tale where Batman and Deadpool aren’t just fighting villains—they’re confronting the very fabric of their fictional existence. Reality folds in on itself. Archetypes collide. Somewhere between Apokolips and Earth-TRN666, a sentient street named Danny hums show tunes about crusading capes. It’s cosmic horror meets slapstick noir, and it’s exactly the kind of story only Morrison could tell.
Mora’s art is expected to match Morrison’s wild vision, shifting between grounded action and surreal abstraction. The story promises to be self-aware, unhinged, and fearless—embracing the absurdity of the crossover while digging into the psychological and philosophical underpinnings of its characters. Batman, the eternal symbol of control and justice, meets Deadpool, the embodiment of chaos and commentary. Together, they face a threat that doesn’t just endanger their worlds—it questions their very right to exist.

Batman/Deadpool #1 also features four bonus stories that push the crossover’s ambition even further. Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson team up with Hayden Sherman for a spellbinding John Constantine/Doctor Strange saga. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo deliver an emotionally charged encounter between Nightwing and Wolverine (Laura Kinney). Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown, while G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage Static/Ms. Marvel story. These aren’t just team-ups—they’re tonal experiments, each one exploring what happens when two storytelling worlds collide.
The variant covers for both issues are a collector’s dream. Artists like Dan Mora, Frank Quitely, Jim Lee, Amanda Conner, Jenny Frison, and Mark Brooks contribute interpretations that range from homage to parody to pure visual spectacle. Whether it’s Batman and Deadpool locked in combat, sharing tacos, or navigating collapsing realities, the covers alone are worth the price of admission.
Together, Deadpool/Batman #1 and Batman/Deadpool #1 represent more than just a novelty—they’re a statement. A reminder that comics are still capable of surprising us, of breaking rules, and of celebrating their own weirdness. These issues don’t just ask “what if?”—they revel in the answer. And whether you’re a Marvel loyalist, a DC diehard, or just someone who loves seeing worlds collide, this crossover is shaping up to be the most gloriously unhinged event of the year.
So mark your calendar. September 17 and November 19 aren’t just release dates—they’re invitations to witness history. Deadpool and Batman are about to meet. And the comic book world may never be the same.
