With, seemingly, Bruce Wayne in his Wayne Manor mansion. The jokes that Deadpool will be making about that living arrangement write themselves. But instead we have Zeb Wells to do that… though Greg asks on Instagram, "To add stubble or not to add stubble. THAT is the question". Add the stubble, Greg, it's late in the day, or if it's early in the morning, Batman hasn;t slept yet. One way or another, it's the five o'clock shadow of the bat. Damn, these jokes really do write themselves.

Kevin Smith, Chip Zdarsky,

"After writing Amazing Spider-Man for 60 issues, I told Marvel I needed a break. Marvel told me I could do that or I could write a comic starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I no longer needed a break. In Batman we've found someone who has even less time for Deadpool's antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It's been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens." – Zeb Wells

"Am I dreaming? This crossover is likely to be the high point of my career…and, I've had a great career. Some of my earliest work (many years ago) was on X-Force, so Deadpool and I go way back. More recently, I spent 10-plus years drawing Batman at DC. The idea that I get to do a crossover event with Deadpool and Batman…If I am dreaming, please don't wake me!" – Greg Capullo
