This September, the moment the comic book industry has waited decades for arrives in DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1, a Marvel Comics one-shot that will be followed in November by BATMAN/DEADPOOL #1, a one-shot published by DC. Both crossover comics will featuring explosive main stories that pit Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth against DC’s Caped Crusader along with backup stories spotlighting additional Marvel/DC team-ups and showdowns!
DEADPOOL/BATMAN will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. Backup stories include Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert; Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru; and Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, reflected in a newly-revealed variant cover by Terry Dodson.
“I kind of assumed Marvel would let me draw a variant cover, but then I see Terry did one, even though he already gets to draw the (amazing) story inside? Doesn’t seem fair!” Zdarsky shared.
Plus, variant covers for the landmark Marvel-published issue will depict even more exciting character matchups, including a trio by superstar artists Artgerm, Steve McNiven, and Peach Momoko, all revealed today! In Artgerm’s latest stunning cover, mutant sorceress Magik wields her sword against iconic super thief Catwoman. Legendary artist Steve McNiven holds nothing back, delivering a fierce fight between Wolverine and Batman. And best-selling cover artist Peach Momoko pairs deadly assassins Elektra and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain).

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.
