What happens when the World's Greatest Detective meets the Merc with a Mouth? Reality folds in on itself. Archetypes collide. Darkseid is. And, somewhere between Apokolips and Earth-TRN666, a sentient street named Danny hums show tunes about a crusading cape.

DC Comics has revealed that Batman/Deadpool #1, a 64-page one-shot crossover comic book featuring cover art by Dan Mora, arrives in comic book stores on Wednesday, November 19 (following September's Deadpool/Batman #1, published by Marvel Comics).

Batman/Deadpool #1 isn't just a comic book crossover between iconic publishers; it's a metaphysical car crash between two storytelling philosophies. One character broods in the shadows of trauma and justice.

The other cartwheels through chaos, breaking the fourth wall and occasionally the laws of physics. Together, they're forced to confront a threat that doesn't just endanger their worlds—it questions their very existence as fictional constructs.

With a main story by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, Batman/Deadpool #1 launches a reality-bending saga that's equal parts cosmic horror, slapstick noir, and metafictional therapy session. According to DC Comics, "It's the kind of comic book that knows it's a comic book, revels in being a comic book, weaponizes its comic bookiness—and dares you to keep reading anyway!"

We're also getting some must-read backup stories, as Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson join forces with Hayden Sherman to conjure a spellbinding Constantine meets Doctor Strange saga. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo deliver a kinetic, emotionally-charged encounter between Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Wolverine (Laura Kinney), where acrobatics meet adamantium in a story that cuts deep.

Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash chaos and charisma in a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown, while G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage tale starring Static and Ms. Marvel.

These additional stories expand the scope and amplify the wild ambition of Batman/Deadpool #1, offering fans even more collisions of tone, style, and character chemistry. From brooding to bonkers, the comic's creative teams go all in.

Here's a full list of variant covers for Batman/Deadpool #1, along with the covers themselves:

  • Dan Mora – Batman/Deadpool wraparound
  • Lee Bermejo – The Joker/Doctor Doom
  • Mark Brooks – Zatanna/Scarlet Witch
  • Jim Cheung and Jay David Ramos – Wonder Woman/Captain America
  • Amanda Conner and Alex Sinclair – Harley Quinn/Hulk
  • Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin – Batman/The Punisher
  • Jenny Frison – Wonder Woman/Storm
  • Andy Kubert and Alejandro Sánchez – Robin (Damian Wayne)/Gambit
  • Jae Lee and June Chung – Big Barda/Savage Land Rogue
  • Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair – Batman/Wolverine
  • Alexander Lozano – Wonder Woman/Ms. Marvel
  • Sean Murphy and Simon Gough – Lobo/Deadpool
  • Frank Quitely – Batman/Deadpool
  • Bruno Redondo – Nightwing (Dick Grayson)/Wolverine (Laura Kinney)
  • Hayden Sherman – John Constantine/Doctor Strange
  • Bill Sienkiewicz – Batman/Deadpool — a The Incredible Hulk #340 homage
  • Ryan Sook – Batman/Deadpool — a Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 homage
  • Sozomaika – Catwoman/Emma Frost

I'm just intrigued by the idea of Grant Morrison writing Deadpool in general. Whatever happens, its gonna be interesting.

@asherman93 - That. Grant Morrison is the entire selling point.

Hopefully, we get a Deadpool/Deathstroke crossover down the road.

@ModHaterSLADE - One of the angels has a Deathstroke mask on the main Dan Mora cover.

I want a Sentry/Superman one. I want most of these covers. But strange enough. There is no Superman crossover storyline. That’s sort of strange.

You have Batman/Deadpool. You have Cap and Wonder Woman and no Superman?

@Mrnorth1921 - actually considering how punisher idolized cap, i wonder how he would be with superman. A powerful alien, sure. But one who shares a lot of similarities with cap.

The cap wonder woman makes sense. She will probably fall for him the same way she fell for steve trevor.

@CaptainFlapjaks - punisher would like him. He’s a good man. And if the two characters were in the same universe. Wonder Woman and Cap would be dating.

Jim Lee back on Wolverine!!!

Plus his Batman. Probably his two most iconic career-defining runs for the big two, X-Men and Batman: Hush.
And it's neat that he's doing it during his run of Hush 2.

Love the reference to the opening of Deadpool & Wolverine on the Sienkiewicz variant.

That's the saddest Jim Lee art I've seen yet. Older artists need to do refreshers to relearn all the things they did in their prime. There are many things they forget. Even Alex Ross is slipping. People say it's just age. If there is a mental or severe physical decline then it is. But sometimes it's the distance between the period they learned and developed their style.

@PartyKiller - I don't think it's loss of skill as much as it is just nothing to prove often results in less effort. But even phoning it in, Jim Lee is still better than most.

How close do we think we are to eventually getting a DC/Marvel crossover story in live action?
