Marvel and DC’s next comic crossover revealed: Deadpool and Batman — See a first look (exclusive)
Back in February, at a ComicsPro panel held in Glendale, Calif., the editors in chief of Marvel and DC revealed they were quietly assembling something they hadn’t pulled off in more than two decades: a crossover event.
The time to reveal the next crossover is finally here…Deadpool, meet Batman.
EW can exclusively reveal that Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth and DC’s Dark Knight will collide this year, crossing swords and batarangs across a new publishing event. On the Marvel side, Zeb Wells, the Spider-Man comics scribe who recently worked on the big-screen spectacular Deadpool & Wolverine, pens a Deadpool/Batman one-shot with art and cover design by veteran artist Greg Capullo, who most recently worked on Wolverine: Revenge.
DC brings together comparable creative heavyweights to tackle their respective one-shot. Batman/Deadpool, launching later this November, hails from writer Grant Morrison, whose comics (including All-Star Superman and Batman and Son) now serve as inspiration for the James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC movie-verse, and artist Dan Mora, who, similar to Capullo, has an immense list of credits to his name. (Details on DC’s story and the accompanying “backup adventures” will be announced at a later date.)
Man DC got Morrison to write their slop book, good for them honestly
guess they worked out some legal stuff because they finally reprinted most of those crossovers and the amalgam stuff recently in two books
Oh no! They can’t keep getting away with it!
Well isnt it all disney now?
