Announced last month, the world’s greatest comic book companies will crossover for the first time in decades in September’s DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1, published by Marvel Comics, and November’s BATMAN/DEADPOOL #1, published by DC. DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1 will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by Greg Capullo, followed by backup stories featuring more exciting Marvel/DC team-ups. Today, fans can see all-new covers for the highly anticipated one-shot by superstar artists Mark Bagley, Ryan Stegman, and Skottie Young!
All three covers spotlight the main event—Deadpool and Batman crossing swords and batarangs after Wade Wilson is hired for a job in Gotham City. Will the Caped Crusader help him or destroy him?
Bagley’s special Foil Variant Cover depicts Deadpool and Batman joining forces against the Clown Prince of Crime, THE JOKER; Ryan Stegman’s Homage Variant Cover reimagines Todd McFarlane’s iconic Incredible Hulk #340 cover with Deadpool and Batman; and Young’s Variant Cover captures this landmark moment in his unmistakable style and ever-adorable style!
Stay tuned for more DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1 announcements in the weeks ahead and preorder the issue at your local comic shop today!

no. That is a whole other kettle of fish.

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?

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

Maybe they could do deal with Mattel to do a Marvel Vs DC wave next year.
DC and Marvel teaming up....in the year 2025, I'm intrigued, and I quite enjoy the idea of Deadpool annoying Batman...I'd read this just to see what this gets up to.
doesn't help I'm a secret DP stan, and I totally love when Wade does these collabo comics and generally bugs other heroes.

Both companies most overused characters in one book. Still, sounds interesting

I love some Greg Capullo art but the Dan Mora cover is cooler. As far as writing they got a Wells vs Morrison. How's that any kind of fair trade? Advantage DC again. Still might be some real fun. Can't say it doesn't at least sound interesting.

I assume one of the unnamed creators will be Mark Millar because he has been teasing a DC Marvel Crossover project he says he has been working on for over a week on his FB page.
