The long-awaited Batman-Deadpool crossover is officially happening, marking the first major collaboration between Marvel and DC Comics since 2003.
This epic two-part comic event will unite two of pop culture’s most iconic characters. Gotham’s brooding Dark Knight and the irreverent, fourth wall breaking mercenary from the Marvel universe will come together.
As Entertainment Weekly first reported, the crossover kicks off with Deadpool/Batman in September, followed by Batman/Deadpool in November. Each issue is published by one of the two comic book giants, with Marvel releasing the first and DC handling the second.

This event is the first official DC/Marvel collaboration in more than two decades, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.
“It happens kind of once every generation of readers,” said Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Entertainment, in his interview with EW. “You want them to feel special. It is sort of finding that right moment for both companies to come together because it is complex… But it’s going to be a big deal.”
