Announced last month, Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth meets DC’s Dark Knight this September in MARVEL/DC: DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1, a Marvel/DC crossover more than twenty years in the making!

The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. The one-shot will also feature additional backup stories spotlighting other exciting Marvel and DC team-ups from a lineup of all-star talent, including Daredevil and Green Lantern by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru. Each story will be reflected by its own variant cover. Today, fans can check out the Daredevil/Green Lantern Cover by acclaimed Daredevil artist Marco Checchetto and the Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto cover by Gurihiru. Plus, feast your eyes on an epic wraparound variant cover by Capullo.

“We’re going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters,” Editor Mark Basso shared. “We can’t wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And we’ve got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!”

“This has been surreal to say the least!” Zdarsky said. “Captain America and Wonder Woman are the best their worlds have to offer, both warriors for peace. Getting to explore a dynamic and history between them has been genuinely exciting."

"Two ICONS meeting for the first time!” Thompson said. “It's such an honor for Jeff to get to be Marvel's ambassador in this crossover story with Krypto. Anyone who loves comics knows how rare it is for DC and Marvel to crossover, so Jeff getting to be part of this historic moment with Krypto, and Gurihiru and I getting to bring that tale to readers... well, sometimes this job is very cool."

I know a lot of people were looking forward to this. Myself included.Sadly I was hoping for a third Omnibus/Collection. I have the two DC vs. Marvel and Amalgam Omnibuses. Also had no idea the Amalgam Omnibus is on Amazon listed used for $1,454. (Wth?) (But then there are other sellers selling it "Collectible" Like new for $379-$400. spacer.png spacer.png

Marvel Legends Batman?? Would that be an option for Hasbro at all? That would be awesome!

There's currently no domestic companies producing 6" scale DC figures so maybe it's a possibility?

it would be a licencing nightmare since it would require an agreement from WB, Mattel, Disney and Hasbro

Maybe a dumb question since I don't really understand licensing but would the agreement between DC and Marvel roll over to merchandise as well?

Yeah, It would be cool, but like Tarot said, a very big kettle of fish.I mean for starters, Disney being involved would be where things would probably go off the rails first. Just looking at past history. Looking at MTG and the Spider-Man set? Hasbro owns Magic The Gathering and they have the license for Marvel figures i.e. Legends. But those cards are not on Arena because Disney was afraid it would compete with Marvel Snap. So Hasbro/WotC had to create an entirely different digital set of those Spider-Man cards specifically for Arena.But even before that? If we go back to Who framed Roger Rabbit? Disney and WB too were pretty picky in making sure that each of their respective properties got the same amount of screentime. B ut I believe Mickey has ever so slightly more if I remember a documentary I saw correctly. spacer.png

I would say the best bet/likely option is if Mattel does a line of 6" figures you could then pair them with Legends. Mattel will officially have the DC license and take over later this year. They revealed the "kids" line. The "collector" line is expected sometime in 2027 iirc?

Awesome that JLA/Avengers is getting re-released though I was hoping for a collection

Now if only DC vs Marvel would get the facsimile treatment.

And maybe Dark Claw Animated...

after reading both waiting now for superman spider man 1

JLA/Avengers was a great story shame they wouldn't give it a general re release

GarimusPrime - 2026-01-14 @ 7:08 pm

I think it's awesome that they're finally playing nicely again, after 20+ years. I'd love to see an event book, that drags both universes' heroes into it, is actually canon, and has lasting effects/consequences on both universes. JLA/Avengers was amazing, but it's like it never happened. I want something of that caliber that actually sticks. It's just too bad that George Perez isn't here to see Marvel and DC finally collaborating again.JLA/Avengers II could've been the greatest comic book ever published.
