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.
