This September, the moment the comic book industry has waited decades for arrives in Deadpool/Batman #1, a Marvel Comics one-shot that will be followed in November by Batman/Deadpool #1, a one-shot published by DC.

Both crossover comics will feature explosive main stories that pit Marvel's Merc with a Mouth against DC's Caped Crusader, along with backup stories spotlighting additional Marvel/DC team-ups and showdowns.

Deadpool/Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. Backup stories include Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert; Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru; and Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, reflected in a newly-revealed variant cover by Terry Dodson.

"I kind of assumed Marvel would let me draw a variant cover, but then I see Terry did one, even though he already gets to draw the (amazing) story inside? Doesn’t seem fair!" Zdarsky shared in a press release today. 

Plus, variant covers for the landmark Marvel-published issue will depict even more exciting character matchups, including a trio by superstar artists Artgerm, Steve McNiven, and Peach Momoko, all revealed below. 

In Artgerm's latest stunning cover, mutant sorceress Magik wields her sword against iconic super thief Catwoman. Legendary artist Steve McNiven holds nothing back, delivering a fierce fight between Wolverine and Batman. And best-selling cover artist Peach Momoko pairs deadly assassins Elektra and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain).

"After writing Amazing Spider-Man for 60 issues, I told Marvel I needed a break," Wells previously said. "Marvel told me I could do that or I could write a comic starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I no longer needed a break."

"In Batman, we've found someone who has even less time for Deadpool's antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It's been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens."

Marvel Comics has promised more Deadpool/Batman #1 variant cover reveals in the weeks ahead, so keep checking back here for those and more updates on this long-awaited crossover event.

@dragon316 - it would be like printing money.

I'd get Jim Lee to draw it since he has A history with both characters. It'll sell like crazy.

Batman vs wolverine sucks his claws cut through body armor kill Batman instantly in few panels

@dragon316 - I wonder if Batman has any skills, tools, or vehicles that would allow him to stay out of reach of those claws?

@TheFinestSmack - I'm just sayin', it's the mismatch between the characters that makes it interesting. How will Batman prevail given his clear disadvantage? That's the kernel of every great comic book story.

@Clintthahamster - You know how these things go. Batman would probably lose their first fight, but he's smart enough to know when he's outmatched, so he would escape. Then he would go and create some kind of gas or chemical that negates Wolverine's healing. Or something that would incapacitated him.

@Nomis929 - The comic book industry in the 90’s was a strange and wonderful time.

The sheer joy of getting that new issue of Wizard in the mail every month was something the kids of today will never truly understand.

@BruceWayng - We gotta see him at least once in the event right? Maybe they'll even do an Amalgam month with a brand new Dark Claw one shot.

Only two solo issues exist of the coolest character in all of comics because they can only publish them when both these comics companies converge.

Wolverine would destroy batman in about 5 seconds.

@JobinJ - I agree that Wolverine would win. But people give him too much credit.

Batman would put up a hell of a fight.

I think people put too much stock in Wolverine's healing factor and act like it makes him unbeatable, which isn't the case at all. Wolverine has been beaten many, many times. Captain America has even knocked him unconscious with one shot.

It takes time for his healing factor to actually work. He can be incapacitated. And Batman is definitely a skilled enough fighter to hold his own.

Wolverine wins 8 out of 10 times. But none of those would be easy.

Cool covers.

Marvel and DC need to bring this concept to the video game front already. A Injustice-style game with both franchises would do crazy numbers.
Vigor
Vigor - 7/18/2025, 12:05 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - yes it would
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 7/18/2025, 3:24 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - They should definitely expand beyond comics. In the '70s and '80s they had the 'Super Heroes' franchise together. Toys, stickers, decorations etc. An Amalgam line of toys would be neat. Some Amalgam Funkos, maybe apparel. I'd love a Dark Claw tee.

@ModHaterSLADE - It seems MARVEL & DC would never come together for this. I'll take Injustice 3 with Image Characters though!

Also, I'd love to see Boon create the Sci-Fi/Horror fighting game that he's been subliminally hinting towards for years now.

Really hoping they expand this for like a year. Maybe they'll announce something at SDCC. Or maybe they're waiting on sales figures before they commit to anything.

Looking at that cover and with no healing factor I’d say Batman will bleed out in a couple minutes and be dead. That’s a lot of damage.
