>Batman/Deadpool’ #1 packs bonus stories from Snyder, Taylor, Tamaki, Wilson & more!

>What happens when the World’s Greatest Detective teams up with the Merc with a Mouth? DC Comics is about to find out in Batman/Deadpool #1, a 64-page crossover hitting comic shops on November 19, 2025, with a main cover by Dan Mora and a story from Grant Morrison and Mora. The issue follows Marvel’s crossover Deadpool/Batman #1, out September 17.

>Described as “200% more Grant Morrison-esque than ever before,” the one-shot mashes together Batman’s brooding, methodical approach and Deadpool’s fourth-wall-breaking chaos. The result? A cosmic, metafictional adventure spanning from Apokolips to Earth-TRN666, with reality itself on the line, and even a singing street named Danny.

>But the main event isn’t all you’re getting. Batman/Deadpool #1 also packs in four bonus team-up tales from top-tier creators:

The very existence of crossovers like this speaks volumes about the state of the industry and the creative bankruptcy both DC and Marvel are experiencing these days.
And Grant Morrison... They should have retired by now. Thanks for the 80s and 90s stuff, and even the early 2000s stuff like ASS and The New X-Men, but let's admit it, their latest work was far from good. Their WW Earth One and GL were terrible.

>>149865994
Yeah, this would had big in in late 2000s, but now almost 20 years later is just another comicbook.

His wonderwoman was disappointing, but his green lantern was OK.

>>149865801 (OP)
>Doctor Strange and Constantine
>not Doctor Fate
Absolutely disgusting

>>149865807
>>149865822
Yes, capes are healing.

>>149865812
>Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, and Hayden Sherman pair Constantine with Doctor Strange for a mystical mashup.
Why do you need four writers for this one crossover?
it's going to be shit anyway, but it seems like overkill to have three writers for a short crossover

>>149866065
They'd have better conversations than Strange and Fate.
>so magic is a study of forces that--
>nah lah, de secret o' magic is, any coont could do it

>>149866113
three writers*
sherman will at least make it look nice

>>149865822
>ab window carol
Neat

>>149866135
If we had a UK writer doing the crossover, that would probably have been the case but I think it's going to be a Full Heckblazer situation with Strange and Constantine

>>149866161
You're unfortunately right.

>>149865822
That is a very thin Ms. Marvel.

>>149865812
Was the obvious choice of Catwoman and Black Cat too beneath them?

>>149865874
kek are they cheering Deadpool is dead?

hypercrisis loremasters, how do we feel about this one?

>>149865812
>Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo bring Nightwing (Dick Grayson) face-to-face with Wolverine (Laura Kinney) in a high-energy clash.
Goddammit Taylor of course you called dibs on your pet characters.

>>149865807
is she grabbing her by the tit

>>149866065
Constantine/Strange banter sounds so much better

>>149865812
>Harley & Hulk
Was hoping for someone cooler for Hulk like Martian Manhunter or something...

>Static & Ms Marvel
Are they gonna acknowledge the Inhuman stuff being similar to Static's set up?

>>149866241
Yeah, nice detail, also look at Emma Frost hugging Lobo's Leg

>>149866240
They have similar tastes in clothing, so it wouldn't be a very interesting cover.

>>149865882
I like this one a lot, considering his history with both properties

>>149865882
>N-NO! y-you can't use that! t-that's a rare item from my dad's career! Nooooo don't turn into a bomb!

>>149865812
Mommies
also
>Static/Ms Marvel
interesting

>>149866301
My dick would have found it pretty interesting.

>>149866317
it is a good callback to early damian stuff

OH by the way Nintento-pokemon sued Marvel because deadpool batsigal it was similar to a pokeball and Marvel had to changed.

Also these ones are the marvel covers (I posted them in a thread weeks ago

>Marvel and DC just had to nix a Pokémon reference from a variant cover of their upcoming Batman/Deadpool crossover. Artist Skottie Young’s cover art for the series initially featured a visual shout-out to the iconic Pokémon franchise, but the publishers have now swapped out that version for one that omits the Pokeball homage.

>Young posted on Instagram, highlighting the difference between the two versions of the cover, the first of which features a Pokeball Bat-Signal, while the second has an amalgamation of Deadpool and Batman’s logos.

>“Gotta love legal,” the artist stated in the caption of his posts, suggesting that the decision might have been handed down by the legal department at one of the companies involved.

>Skottie Young's original Deadpool/Batman #1 variant cover features overtly cartoonish versions of both heroes standing on a Gotham rooftop. From the look of it, it seems that Deadpool is trying to be funny, and it's aggravating Batman. In the background, a modified version of the Bat-Signal shines in the air, with a Pokeball in place of the Caped Crusader's logo.

>The updated version, by contrast, features a hybrid 'Pool-Bat-Signal, with their respective logos split down the middle. It might be more apropos for the issue, but it lacks the fan-favorite reference that made readers eager to get their hands on the variant as a collector's item. Unfortunately for those eager fans, it has been pulled before the issue's release.

>Young's "gotta love legal" comment on Instagram suggests that the change came down to a matter of right clearance, though whether Nintendo asked for the reference's removal, or the legal departments at either Marvel and/or DC called for it to be changed.

>Comic book fans love Easter Eggs, and they adore crossovers between franchises. So, Skottie Young's inclusion of this visual nod to Pokémon on his Deadpool/Batman #1 cover naturally got fans excited. It is a shame that the comic will ship without Young's original vision for the cover, but it is the kind of "safe" move that companies make all the time.

>Still, the original version is out there now online, and will join the ranks of fan-favorite "unofficial" and "rejected" comic covers from over the years. Further, the new version of Young's cover has its own kind of charm, retaining the lighthearted spirit of the original while emphasizing that the odd-couple pairing of Deadpool and Batman doesn't need a Pokémon send-up to be exciting.

>>149865874
Damn, this one got me.

>>149866301
>exchange costumes to fool the baddies
>discover how horny for each other they are after wearing each other's sweaty costume

>>149866412
The teamup between Blackwoman and Cat Cat

>>149866386
>hey girl, wanna /ss/?

>>149866431
kek

>>149866396
it was this one.

>>149865882
Why is Gambit beefing with a child?

>>149866458
It is the same as one on his belt. Weird they had to change it.

>>149866065
I honestly prefer the less obvious paintings.

>>149866502
it's Damian, he 100% had it coming after saying some dumb/condescendent shit

>>149866502
Damian is a master ragebaiter.

>>149866077
It's quite literally just 2 safe horny covers, wtf you talking about?

>>149866113
>Why do you need four writers for this one crossover?
I think they would add more characters like Zatanna, Clea, Swamp thing, Man-thing, Dr. Fate, Ragman, Moon Knight, Satanna, etc...

Or that story will eat too much pages

>>149866550
shhh, let him enjoy them

>>149866550
I count five with the scarlet wittch-zatanna, emma + selina, storm + wondy.

>>149866412
I prefer
>stealing one of the other's costumes to leave them embarrassed and nude

>>149866550
You didn't live the 2010s.

>>149866642
>Selina uses underwear
Absolutely disgusting.

>>149866627
How is the Storm/Wonder Woman comic cover horny? Even covers up most of Storm's legs with Diana.

>>149866550
>safe horny
Honest question what isn't safe horny? Full cameltoe? Nipples? Schoolgirl panty shots?

>>149866723
She's a classy lady, and panties are nice to sniff on.

>>149866723
Selina's life is going better than Felicia's, so maybe she could learn something from her.

>>149865801 (OP)
lol, I was saying X-23 would be a good pairing for Jason Todd, Laura loves Dick so it's good

>>149865856
Hulk should run and dont look back. Not even Hulk's regenerative healing factor and immortality will protect him from Harley Quinn's STDs.

>>149865892
I need crossover ship art yesterday.

>>149867042
well, there is a.i.

>>149867069
That's not art, not to me at least.

>>149867118
what if tricked?

>>149865822
that's the Lynda Carter design

>>149865867
>guy

>>149865892
>Dick is getting raped by Laura

>>149867270
He sees her butt and abs
>Oh no my utility belt fell off and the communicator got turned off

>>149867307
Nightwing very clearly doesn't have a utility belt.

>>149865822
Artist forgot to make the faces appealing.
I mean there is other stuff wrong aesthetically and anatomically but that is the most obvious.
>>149865812
Catwoman and Domino not being paired is retarded. Sorry I forget if they did that already.
>>149865882
This one could have been made a lot more interesting.
>>149865892
Laura's costume still sucks. So boring. Dunno if a W chest would make it better.
>>149865867
Woke art.
>>149865928
Don't say that. But I will still indulge you say the equally inflammatory statement of Stegman being the McFarlane of this era. Cates is equally the McFarlane but in writing ability, kek.
>>149865935
Oof. Sienkiewicz didn't try too hard. If you're gonna do the reverse homage to the other cover then you can do this idea or have Batman's batarangs impale themselves into Deadpool's knuckles somehow. Either one is ok but Bill's gotta put out better art.
>>149865963
DC has really been putting out the pits. Not sure if I like her with the jacket. Most of the time I like it more. Yeah I'm leaning towards her looking better in this cover with it on.

>>149867352
Reminder that Irey West molested him with the speed force just to get his JLU card, and she is now 16, she is a thirsty loli now

>>149865892
Just checked Twitter, Cassfags aren't happy.

>>149867412
>is now 16
She's probably closer to like 13 or 14.

>>149867469
She has the cover with Elektra

>>149867140
Yes, they're both using their 70s outfits

>>149867517
Storm is also from the 70s. Does having your name to your own comic make you bigger than being in a book with more readers?

>>149867556
Yeah
Especially since Ms. Marvel's success made them revamp Jean Grey and that revamp made her into a big success

>>149867489
Post it, I haven't seen it.

>>149867635
>>149866386

>>149867674
Somehow I missed it.

>>149865807
I remember those times when comics with Grant Morrison's name on them used to sell over 200k copies instantly, even if there was nothing else on the cover, no title, no artwork, nothing but "Morrison." Now, they have to make ~100 variant covers in the vain hope of selling at least 40k copies. And thinking that no modern writer will have the cult following that Morrison, Moore, Gaiman, Miller, and a few others enjoyed during their peaks, not even Hickman or Snyder, the current day "behemoths" of the Big 2, really makes me believe that comic books as a medium are close to dying out. It's so sad.

>>149865801 (OP)
>Snyder, Taylor, Tamaki, Wilson
Ooof rough state of affairs when tamaki is the only one on a list of creators for a major project thats written a worthwhile comic in the last few years (zatanna). What an awful list.

>Morrison Deadpool
I’d genuinely rather read Tom King writing Deadpool as a depressed war criminal like every other character he’s gotten his hands on.

>>149865994
*he

>>149865882
This is the best cover
>>149865801 (OP)
DC comics,Dan Mora is not a superstar, stop putting him on your biggest projects.
>>149865935
Dope McFarlane homage
>>149865919
I swear this looks like every other Logan and Bruce piece Jim has done.

>>149867912
They changed their pronouns a while ago actually

>>149865801 (OP)
Please let there be a Gwenpool / Superboy Prime variant

>>149867517
that wasnt't the comic book design of 70s wonder woman thoughbeit

>>149868546
If there was a 70s Ms. Marvel show, they'd use the design from that.

>>149865892
Would've 100% been a Superman Jon and Wolverine crossover if his Jon stories were remotely well received.

>>149868546
Carol's superhero book was inspired by Ms. magazine which had Lynda Carter Wonder Woman on its cover

>>149865837
Is that who I think it is? Absolute Batman?

>>149868596
I am noticing there's no Superman crossover here, that's a bit weird.

>>149865957
>The two bad guys cover is Joker VS Dr. Doom
This says a lot about the companies

>>149867469
Cassfags are retards. Taylor/Redondo is doing this because he had well received runs with both characters.

>>149868224
>I said that if I had been doing now what I was doing back in the 1990s I would be viewed as non-binary or gender queer. Suddenly it was taken up by the fan press and I was awarded the label ‘they/them’. I never asked for it. I come from a generation where that just doesn’t matter, even being labelled at all is anathema to me.
>t. morrison

>>149865957
>The Bat Who Keks
>The Doom Who Dooms
Who wins the wank off?

>>149865957
Joker unironically wins here.
Clown force can't be beat man.

>>149869442
Joker obviously wins because it was a Doombot, omg 4d chess Doom actually won!

>>149865801 (OP)
No spiderman? that sucks.

>>149865801 (OP)
>200% more Grant Morrison-esque than ever before
>the one-shot will find the stoic Batman and fourth-wall-breaking Deadpool teaming up as they "confront a threat that doesn’t just endanger their worlds—it questions their very existence as fictional constructs"
Alright, so from a scale of 10-100, how meta will this be?

>>149865874
>what If Batkek was good?

>>149865822
>unprecedented
We all know that this is due to the Vs and Amalgam omnibuses sold like crazy.

>>149869555
And he has goons

>>149868654
Carolbump

>>149869442
Joker unless Doom resorts to rape

>>149871378
Doom is not so base as to commit sexual assault like a common sailor
Doom has people to do that for him.

>>149865902
My favorite of them
>>149865963
My horniest of them

>>149865845
Probably would buy this one if I was gonna buy it.

>>149868711
It's Nick Dragotta drawing that cover, but I think it's just regular Batman (no spikes/metal shoulder pads on the suit like Absolute Batman).

>>149868224
No he didn’t.

>>149869294
I'm pretty sure Morrison is the type of guy who would put "Any pronouns" on his Twitter page if he was a zoomer.

>>149865874
Now flip it. DP holding Batman's corpse while the others in the background are angry, shouting/accusing him.

>>149865910
THIS.

>>149866396
LOVE Skottie Young's covers.

>>149865801 (OP)
>Gambit got one
Hell yeah brother. The Cap and WW one and the Punisher Batman one are really cool too

>>149865845
Absolute Madmen

>>149866502
Wouldn't be the first time Gambit's slapped the shit out of a mouthy kid. Won't be the last

>>149865801 (OP)
wtf is this shite

>>149865994
>They
kys

DC creative looking much much better than Marvel's on this project all around
Just one fanboy's opinion.

>>149865822
Nice

>>149865882
I miss when Robin's outfit was more cloth than tacticool, he looks fantastic here.

>>149865807
I thought Jae Lee was cancelled for being a chud

>>149865845
>>149873251
KEK no fucking way, Quitely you absolute madlad.

>>149865963
Fuck I love them

>>149866022
>Leinil Yu losing his shot at drawing DC bunda

My hero... not like this.

>200 percent Morrison
Ok you got me

>>149873251
nice catch, knowledgeanon.

>>149865801 (OP)
No Superman and Spider-Man on any of the covers. Huh.

>>149877051
That's mean there will be a future crossover with only those two maybe in 2026.

>>149865935
I hope Deadpool and wolverine constantly referencing each other doesn't become a thing

>>149865994
>They

>>149876270
When was the last time Morrisson wrote something great though

Nice

>>149865882
>>149865845
Going to try to get one of these two

>>149876219
Tom King certainly tried

So who is Dr Fate paired with?

>>149865801 (OP)
Only retards will read or buy this.

>>149881360
don't worry, we'll be there with you

>>149865801 (OP)
genuinely why would you make this 1 issue with 4 backups instead of 5 or dope ass one shot issues
don't they want more money?

>>149881693
Well this is one of two with the Marvel outing being the other. And there's more books coming down the line, something they haven't done a good job publicizing though it would be a ways away I guess.

>>149865892
They are going to kiss?
It is Dick. All girls want to fuck him.

>>149881998
Tina and Jocasta might be funny with them comparing notes on their lives, but I don't think that would be longer than a page or two.
