DC & MARVEL crossover for the first time since 2003…the two highly anticipated DC/Marvel crossover comic books coming to local comic shops in 2025 are Batman/Deadpool #1 (published by DC Comics in November) and Deadpool/Batman #1 (published by Marvel Comics in September). These two crossover one-shots between DC and Marvel have been more than twenty years in the making and are part of a larger collaboration program between the companies—a crossover program like the comic book industry has never seen!
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY exclusively revealed 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.
The story, kicking off this Sep. 17, tells how Wade Wilson is hired for a job in Gotham City that puts him in the crosshairs of the World’s Greatest Detective. Accompanying the main one-shot will be a lineup of “backup adventures” that features “exciting Marvel and DC character match-ups,” according to an official description. However, details on what that entails, including the creative teams, will be shared at a later date.
