BATMAN/DEADPOOL #1 Preview Reveals First Look at More Powerful Marvel/DC Teams in Upcoming Crossover Special

DC Comics Shared a November Sneak Peek Batman/Deadpool #1revealing a first look at the next chapter of the Dark Knight’s unlikely team-up with Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth.

Additional crossovers will play out in the comic’s back-up stories, with Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson teaming up with Hayden Sherman for a magical Constantine/Doctor Strange tale.

Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo bring us an epic tale of Nightwing/Dick Grayson and Laura Kinney/Wolverine. Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner crush Harley Quinn and Hulk together. And finally, G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan tell an electrifying story of Static and Ms. Marvel.

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 tunes on a crusading cape.

Batman/Deadpool #1 isn’t just a comic book crossover between iconic publishers; it’s a metaphysical car crash between two storytelling philosophies. A character broods in the shadows of trauma and justice. The other rolls through chaos, breaking the fourth wall and sometimes the laws of physics.

Together, they are forced to face a threat that not only endangers their world, but calls into question 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 film noir, and metafictional therapy session. According to DC Comics, “It’s the kind of comic that knows it’s a comic, revels in being a comic, uses its comic nature as a weapon, and dares you to keep reading anyway!”

It was recently confirmed that the crossovers will continue in 2026. DC is expected to release two facsimile editions in January and February: a Treasury edition for the 50th anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 And DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1.

Then, in March and April, the two companies will publish two new crossover comics: Superman/Spider-Man #1 (DC) and Spider-Man/Superman #1 (Wonder). It was said that further details about the creative teams, storylines and variant covers of the two comics would be revealed by DC and Marvel Comics in the coming months.
