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 show tunes about a crusading cape! DC Comics has revealed more details about the anticipated Batman/Deadpool #1, a 64-page one-shot crossover comic book with a main cover by Dan Mora. Retailing for $7.99 US the comic hits shelves on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
But DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 isn’t just a comic book crossover between iconic publishers, it’s a metaphysical car crash between two storytelling philosophies. One character broods in the shadows of trauma and justice. The other cartwheels through chaos, breaking the fourth wall and occasionally the laws of physics. Together, they’re forced to confront a threat that doesn’t just endanger their worlds—it questions 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 noir, and metafictional therapy session. It’s the kind of comic book that knows it’s a comic book, revels in being a comic book, weaponizes its comic bookiness—and dares you to keep reading anyway!
Buckled into the backseat of Morrison and Mora’s Batmobile, four all-star bonus stories come roaring in, each crafted by a bona fide who’s who of comic book creators:
Comic legends collide as Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson join forces with Hayden Sherman to conjure a spellbinding Constantine meets Doctor Strange saga. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo deliver a kinetic, emotionally-charged encounter between Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Wolverine (Laura Kinney), where acrobatics meet adamantium in a story that cuts deep. Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash chaos and charisma in a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown, while G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage tale starring Static and Ms. Marvel.
These additional stories expand the scope and amplify the wild ambition of Batman/Deadpool #1, offering fans even more collisions of tone, style, and character chemistry. From brooding to bonkers, the Batman/Deadpool #1 creative teams go all in.
Ahead of DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 arriving in November, Marvel’s Deadpool/Batman #1 will publish on September 17. Both of these incredible one-shot comic books will deliver explosive sagas starring DC’s Caped Crusader and Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth, along with bonus stories that showcase additional team-ups and showdowns between legendary characters from both universes.
To push the limits of DC’s cosmic collision of comic book characters even further, Batman/Deadpool #1 will feature an extraordinary lineup of cardstock variant covers, including a wraparound blank blue cardstock sketch variant cover with the Batman/Deadpool logos and a foil variant of Dan Mora’s main cover, all retailing $8.99 US, from some of the most iconic and inventive artists in comics:
