Article Summary

Grant Morrison teams with Dan Mora for a metaphysical Batman/Deadpool crossover packed with wild concepts
Batman and Deadpool confront reality-bending threats, diving deep into comic book metaphysics and absurdity

DC Comics has dropped details for their own Batman/Deadpool crossover for November, following up on Marvel's own Deadpool/Batman for September. And also including back-up strips with other crossovers and many covers with other team-ups to add… and because Grant Morrison is writing we are getting Danny The Street as well. And possibly the kind of metaphysics that you won't get with Zeb Wells.

"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!

"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! And yes, there will be owls. There will be blades. There will be blood. There will be a giant typewriter!"

And in the back…

Doctor Strange/John Constantine: 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.
Nightwing/Laura Kinney Wolverine: 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.
Harley Quinn Vs Incredible Hulk: Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash chaos and charisma in a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown.
Static Vs Ms Marvel: G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage tale starring Static and Ms. Marvel.
