It's been clear for some time now that we're getting a crossover between Watchmen and the DC Universe, with all the signs pointing to Dr. Manhattan being the one who was really responsible for "The New 52" and Ozymandias playing some sort of role in the weirdness currently surrounding Superman. Well, it looks like some answers are coming this April in four-part storyline, "The Button."

That title is a reference to The Comedian's bloodied button after it first appeared in the Batcave during DC Rebirth, and both Batman and The Flash will come together to investigate during a crossover with takes place in issues #21 and #22 of their twice monthly solo titles. Here's what DC Comics have to say about the storyline, and it definitely sounds like this will be the beginning of a pretty massive event. 
 
Courtesy of the Batman team of writer Tom King and artist Jason Fabok, along with The Flash writer Joshua Williamson and artist Howard Porter, the two greatest detectives in the DC Universe unite to unravel the mystery behind a certain blood stained smiley face button stuck in the Batcave wall. However, what begins as a simple investigation soon turns deadly when the secrets of the button prove irresistible to an unwelcome third party – and it’s not who anyone suspects! This is a mystery woven throughout time, and the countdown starts here!

I very curious as to how Alan Moore feels about this. Guess we'll have to see how this plays out.

@Tevii - @Tevii - Well, from what I've been hearing, he sounds very grouchy, but I guess that's the kind of person he is.

I just wish Rorschach and Bats could be team-up buddies.

Rebirth has been incredible so far. Action Comics #1000 will come out in Spring 2018, so I kind of think everything will be leading up to that moment.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - Yeah that art is insane. Fabok has really grown as an artist compared to just a couple years ago when he was the artist on New 52 Detective Comics

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - He's honestly one of the best artists out there right now. Batman and Flash's fingers in those pics are killing me, though. The forced perspective isn't really working for me, and it looks like they have these weird, long alien fingers.

This could be really good. I like the idea of them being a deducing dynamic duo, with Barry being the forensic scientist and Batman being more of the hands on sleuth.

However, this investigation does seem a bit nonessential, but the very concept of the team-up has my interest.

Well if any of the Watchmen characters are entering the DC universe, this could make for some great story lines. Imagine a monthly Batman and Rorschach team up comic.
