Not as good as the first crossover they did, but still worth at least one read. The art was good, but the writing was all over the place, in Grant Morrison fashion (sorry), and almost none of the jokes landed for me.
It was nice to see a certain Amalgam character show up again in this (and a new one), but just like the movies, one cool moment isn't enough to save a story.
Despite the idea of Batman and Deadpool meeting being wonderful, this was only probably my third favorite story from this collection.
I think my favorite of this book had to be the second story in this collection, the John Constantine/Doctor Strange crossover, not just for the two of them meeting, but the smaller crossover happening in the background of that tale. It was fantastic.
Next up, we had Nightwing/Wolverine (X-23) by Tom Taylor and that one was another good entry and actually my introduction to her Wolverine. I quite enjoyed King's use of the term "nepo-hero" and I'm actually not sure if I enjoyed this one or the Constantine/Doctor Strange one more. They were both really good.
Harley Quinn and the Incredible Hulk was fun, but kind of random. I may have read this one too fast, because I already forgot the plot (or if it even had one), but the artwork by Amanda Conner is always great to see for Harley Quinn.
Lastly, the Static (Shock) and Ms Marvel story that felt like filler and wasn't really long enough to figure out what was going on. The art in this one was pretty inconsistent, as well and probably my least favorite.
Overall, a weaker book than the previous Deadpool/Batman collection, but I don't think the average comic fan is going to care about all these little nitpicks. I think we all know why they decided to pit these two characters together, but hey. I'm a sucker for the crossovers too.

Superhero crossovers are a lot of fun. And they are also often cashgrabs, unnecessary pandering to fans which doesn't amount to necessary storytelling. That is okay, fun for its own sake is certainly valid. We’re talking about superhero comics here.
So it was fun when Marvel and DC got back into inter-company crossovers last year, something they hadn’t done in decades since 2004’s JLA/Avengers (which, by the way, must have been the greatest of these crossovers ever). Deadpool/Batman, which was published by Marvel, had a pretty standard storyline written by Zeb Wells about teaming up to fight the Joker. The selling point of that one-shot was the art by Greg Capullo, famous for both Batman and X-Force. Overall, I didn’t find it memorable and worth rereading. As criticisms of unnecessary crossovers go, that was a good example.
Batman/Deadpool, the next iteration published by DC Comics, is something entirely different. Written far more thoughtfully, it’s an ambitious meta-textual self-referential satire/deconstruction of crossover tropes which rewards the reader for in-depth analysis. And it’s also fun, as it should be.
Because this is Grant Morrison, the most literary and trippy of mainstream comic writers. Already an experienced Batman scribe, Morrison is the perfect writer to blend cosmic science fiction with globetrotting adventurous Batman—far more interesting than just another gritty Bat-mystery taking place in Gotham city.
The story opens with Eternity and Kismet, the cosmic iterations of their entire respective universes, having a sleazy one-night stand. It’s funny stuff! It’s also an excellent reference to JLA/Avengers, and that’s just the first of many. The use of “The Writer” character from an old issue of Suicide Squad which itself was a reference to Grant Morrison, is probably too baroque for most readers to get. But other gags work better, such as 4th-wall-breaking Deadpool saying “I can SEE you!” to the reader à la the groundbreaking 80s Animal Man. Personally, what I enjoyed the most were the references the 90s DC vs Marvel and even the re-appearance of the silly but grim Amalgam character Dark Claw.
The story goes at breakneck speed, and then there’s the sudden reveal of Cassandra Nova. This works well, as she was created by Grant Morrison in the classic New X-Men and happened to be the antagonist of the hit Deadpool & Wolverine film. So, there are all kinds of elements in this story which should’ve made it a standout hit. However, it all feels rather rushed and honestly makes for an incomprehensible read to the more casual lay fan. The problem, in my view, is that there’s only 32-pages to throw this all in there. At least Batman and Deadpool already know each other, since this is their second crossover, so it could hit the ground running without any introductions. But a little more exposition would have gone a long way, with more breathing room for those epic full-page splashes.
Unfortunately, these new crossovers come with backup stories which are far too short and not really worth reading. They might as well have just been one page of art, instead of taking up so much space with unsatisfying short stories. You can see John Constantine meet Dr. Strange, X-23 meet Nightwing, Harley Queen meet the Hulk, and Ms. Marvel meet Static. But it’s all over with too fast. In the old days, crossover stories got a full 64-pages and I would have rather had the main story be that long. I don’t know why they structured the book this way, but that’s how it is.
Lastly, I would be remiss to leave out the art by Dan Mora, who is possibly the best artist working in superhero comics today. Made famous by Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, and now illustrating the DC K.O. event, the artwork is outstanding and it’s great to see his take on Deadpool and Nova and Dark Claw etc. Perhaps he’s doing too much these days, taking up a lot of space in DC, but I’m glad he got to draw this issue.
I give it a 4/5. I imagine, in an alternate Earth, if Grant Morrison got to do twice as many pages with this triumphant return to Batman, it would’ve been a full 5/5.
By the way, the next scheduled crossover will be Superman/Spider-Man in March of this year, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the very first such crossover from 1976. I’m sure it will be fun if nothing else. Yet, something I’ve noticed from perusing various old inter-company crossovers, is that DC almost always uses Superman or Batman. Marvel often used its most famous character Spider-Man, but they’ve also mixed it up over the years with Hulk, Punisher, Daredevil, Captain America, the Fantastic Four and now Deadpool all meeting those same two iconic heroes. Why can’t DC take a chance every once in a while, with perhaps Wonder Woman or anyone else, with all their many characters outside of only the Big Two?

Batman/Deadpool: 3½ ⭐
Hellblazer/Dr. Strange: 3¾ ⭐
Nightwing/LK Wolverine: 5 ⭐
Harley/Hulk: 3 ⭐
Static/Ms. Marvel: 4⭐
Overall it has some fun stories, even if some are just a few pages of somewhat nonsense (Harley/Hulk) but they do the job, I think. I really adored the Nightwing and Laura Kinney Wolverine story, that was really sweet and it always hits me when Dick calls Bruce father. Don't go into these crossovers thinking they're going to be some big epic story that you can't stop thinking about, just go into them and have fun.

As a long time comic reader, I don’t know if a DC and Marvel crossover is as big of news as it would have used to been, but I have always been interested in what Grant Morrison was writing and this seems like a pretty soul’s lineup for this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, it has been sitting around unread but now that I have read it, I really enjoyed it. Comic prices have went up and up over the years but this one had a lot of content to justify the price tag
I really did enjoy Morrison’s take on Batman and Deadpool meeting. Morrison has satirized comics at times and this feels at once a nod back to what he has tried before, but felt really accessible and funny- and got some great “inside baseball” type jokes.
I really enjoyed it a lot and it took me back to why I love comics so much.
Snyder, Tynion and Williamson collaborate for the next story. It is a fun pondering of John Constantine meeting Dr Strange and essentially how magic works in the two different universes. It’s sort of forgettable though.
Tom Taylor does a better job when he pairs Wolverine and Nightwing. I wish it was a bit longer as it probably could be on par with Morrison’s headliner.
Mariko Tamaki writes and Amanda Conner draw Hulk and Harley Quinn which feels like fitting filler. G Willow Wilson ends the proceedings with what starts off as a serious take on Static and Ms Marvel which runs out of pages about the moment is ready to take off.
I have not been following comics closely enough to know if this thing has any importance but I have enjoyed it quite a bit and felt it more than justified my purchase. This is marketed as a “# 1” though I think this is the second of these books that DC and Marvel has put out in this format.

Overall better than the Marvel issue, but individually, Morrison's and Mora's title crossover is leagues above and beyond what Wells and Capullo did before.
Individual ratings:
Batman / Deadpool: fantastic! Grant Morrison is back! It's such a joy to read a cleverly written superhero comic book such as this one. Full of easter eggs and homages for old timers and absolutely a love letter to Morrison's constant readers. I loved the return of the Writer. Also, Morrison using Damian is such a joy. Gave us one of the most wholesome scenes in a while. 5/5
Hellblazer / Doctor Strange: awesome scenes featuring not only the two title characters but also Ghost Rider and Swamp Thing, I wish we could get a longer story featuring the magical / supernatural characters, like a miniseries. Art is beautiful and mystical. 4/5
Nightwing/ Laura Kinney Wolverine: beautiful Bruno Redondo art, but must importantly a beautiful script by Tom Taylor. He really knows how to write these characters. I just wish I could get my hands on his All New Wolverine run. 4,5/5
Harley Quinn / Incredible Hulk: the only "not great" story of the bunch. It's fun, but really short and there's just not really a plot. Instead we just get a funny scene between Harley and a silent Hulk and that's it. 2,5/5
Static / Ms Marvel: wholesome story about Virgil and Kamala's blooming friendship, expertly drawn by two comic legends in Denys Cowan and Klaus Janson. I never read Kamala's solo stories by G. Willow Wilson (who also wrote this) but I think I'd like to give it a chance. 3,5/5

The first story is the title, Batman and Deadpool and is a full sized comic. It was a decent story even tho Deadpool got a little annoying. The rest of the stories were only a few pages long and really didn’t do much for me except the Doctor Strange/Constantine story and my favorite which was Nightwing/Laura Kinney by Tom Taylor.
November 24, 2025
I did not enjoy this as much as the previous one. It didn't reach the same highs as the Wonder Woman or Daredevil stories. It still had some good moments. There were jokes in the main story that landed and the Nightwing story had some good heart to it. The Harley story and the Ms. Marvel stories did not do too much to excite me.

Surprisingly good.
Morrison has fun with the premise, and we get a surprise return of one of their creations. Dan Mora Good.
The backups were also solid. I’m not sure why it took 3 writers to script the Constantine/Strange story. And why isn’t there a Constantine/Hellblazer book right now??

Esse volume pela DC tem um foco bem maior na história principal do Batman e Deadpool, e acho isso um ponto bem positivo.
No primeiro volume, achei a quantidade de histórias um pouco demais, 7 no total. Aqui temos 5, sendo as duas últimas bem curtinhas.
Batman e Deadpool foi bem mais legal aqui. Gostei da analogia dos dois universos se encontrando, da interação dos heróis, das piadas do Deadpool e do jeito sério do Batman em relação a isso, e curti muito a vilã, principalmente por já conhecer ela do filme e ter gostado tanto.
Acho que a única que não me cativou foi da Arlequina e Hulk, achei meio nada a ver.
Superchoque e Ms Marvel é boa, mas curta demais. Gostaria de uma interação maior entre eles.
Hellblazer e Doutor Estranho foi interessante, mas comi não conheço tão bem os personagens, não me conectei tanto assim.
O destaque da hq, pra mim, além da história principal, fica por conta do Asa Noturna e Laura Kinney Wolverine. A interação entre eles é espetacular.
Batman e Deadpool - 4
Hellblazer e Doutor Estranho - 3,5
Asa Noturna e Laura Kinney Wolverine - 5
Arlequina e Hulk - 1
Superchoque e Ms Marvel - 3,5

Agora sim!!! Enquanto no outro crossover a média das histórias é sofrível, neste é o oposto. Não diria que a principal seja genial, mas é mais interessante, especialmente pra quem curte as morrissonices (quem não gosta vai odiar). As histórias secundárias de um modo geral são boas, especialmente Asa Noturna/Wolverina e Hellblazer/Dr Estranho.

Batman/Deadpool #1 is a DC and Marvel Comics crossover written by Grant Morrison, James Tynion IV, Tom King, Scott Snyder, Tom Taylor, Mariko Tamaki, and G. Willow Wilson with art by Dan Mora, Hayden Sherman, Bruno Redondo, Amanda Conner, and Denys Cowan. It is cover dated January 2026.
This issues continues Batman & Deadpool’s team up as they investigate a multiverse mystery, John Constantine and Doctor Strange meet, Nightwing and Laura Kinney’s Wolverine join forces to save Gabby from Killer Croc, Hulk and Harley Quinn team up to fight a robot, and Static Shock and Ms Marvel compete to save their neighborhood.
This issue feels like multiple steps back from the first crossover issue. Grant Morrison writes an over complicated (shocker) plot to poke fun of both DC crossovers and Deadpool’s origins where all the humor falls flat. Thankfully it is saved by Mora’s art. The Constantine/Strange and Nightwing/Wolverine entries were fun with great art. Full issues or arc crossovers with these two team ups would probably be a lot of fun. The last two entries in the title just didn’t deliver at all and felt more like filler. DC, please don’t invite Morrison back to any future crossovers please.

While Deadpool/Batman was okay, Batman/Deadpool is on a completely different level! I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of the Merc with a Mouth, but I’ve read my fair share of his comics — and this one-shot had me laughing harder than I ever have with a Deadpool comic. And also with Batman comics… duh. 🤣
Grant Morrison is one of my all-time favorite writers, and I was incredibly hyped when I saw that they were returning to the superhero genre once again, even if only for a one-shot. That hype was absolutely justified. What we get is pure Morrison-style madness, packed with sharp meta humor, clever jabs at both universes — comic and cinematic — top-tier fourth-wall breaking, and most importantly, it never takes itself too seriously while still maintaining a high level of quality. Once again, Morrison proves why they’re one of my GOATs.
As for the backup stories, those were excellent as well. With names like Snyder, Tynion, Taylor, and Tamaki involved, you really wouldn’t expect anything less. The weakest piece (though still not bad at all) was the Harley and Hulk story — but that’s probably just because I’m really not a fan of Harley as a main character. The strongest one, exactly as I expected, was Nightwing/Wolverine by Tom Taylor.
I recommend this one-shot with all ten fingers, and I’m genuinely happy to be witnessing a very special moment in comic book history — when the two biggest giants join forces. It doesn’t happen very often, and I’m honestly curious to see what they have in store for us next, because it’s clear this won’t end with just these two issues.

Consideravelmente melhor que o crossover da Marvel, este aqui que ficou sob responsabilidade da DC Comics. Além de uma qualidade melhor, também parece que foi melhor editado, já que não foi fominha e enfiou apenas cinco histórias na revista contra as sete da Marvel. A história principal entre Deadpool e Batman por Morrison e Mora é muito mais esperta que a da Marvel, usando com inteligência personagens e conceitos das duas editoras, e é a melhor história de todos os crossovers. Também boa é a história do encontro de Asa Noturna e a Wolverine. A história do Constantine Doutor Estranho é enfadonha e é curioso que precisou de três pessoas pra escrevê-la. A pior de todas estas histórias dos crossovers é a aliança entre Hulk e Arlequina, nuff said. Por fim, temos o encontro de Super-Choque e Ms. Marvel que é qualquer coisa água com açúcar. Se é pra fazer crossovers assim, talvez fosse melhor nem fazer. Aproveitem o arsenal que vocês têm, Marvel e DC!

The first story "Batman/Deadpool" is really good and fun, way better than what marvel did with theirs. Then we have Doc. Strange and Constantine crossing over, which is fun and interesting. But I think it's more cause I like the characters than for the story itself. And at last there is 4 more stories of ok quality which did nothing for me.
Unfortunatly because of that this comics stays in the same lane and rating as the marvel one, the rest of the tales after the main deadpool/batman stories really undermine these comics as a whole. Hope both marvel and dc give their stories more room and pages in the future, as to not produce crossovers of avarage quality which only try to win readers with hype.

A veces olvidamos que los comics deben ser ante todo, divertidos. Pero cuando le das algo tan banal como un crossover a un escritor como Grant Morrison, puede hacer de esto un verdadero lujo.
Da una explicación al por qué está union de multiversos de la manera más Morrisonada posible, te llena de cameos el número, hace referencias a sus números de Animal Man y se da el lujo de traer a sus creaciones "Casandra Nova" y "Demian Wayne" en el mismo cómic.
Me pregunto qué se habrá llevado de souvenir.
Las demás historias están bien, aunque la de Strange/Constantine me parece una oportunidad desperdiciada. La de x23/Nightwing está buena y las demás olvidables.

The Deadpool and Batman crossover was mostly fan service with predictably 4th wall breaks galore. A fun story if you turn off your brain
The Constantine and Doctor Strange crossover's most notable thing was a truely awesome 2 page spread. Excellent art
The Nightwing and Laura Wolverine crossover is my fav but I am a blatant fan of Taylor's Nightwing. It was short but the jokes landed and it had good character moments
The Harley and Hulk and Ms Marvel and Static Shock crossovers were super short and very skippable

This crossover is some deep fan service - but that’s the point! Moreover, this is some good, niche fan service, too. The return of Grant Morrison the Writer from Animal Man?? John Constantine playing to Dr Strange the straight man (with a Swamp Thing cameo)? Bruno Redondo drawing Nightwing again? Klaus Jansen inking Denys Cowan’s pencils?? There’s just a lot of fun stuff in this one!

So much fun

Man, the follow-up really fumbles everything the first issue had going for it. The conclusion to the Batman and Deadpool adventure is straight-up awful. Morrison clearly wanted to go full meta, commenting on the nature of crossovers, the companies, even throwing in a Dark Claw cameo, but none of it lands the way he thinks it does. Instead of clever, it turns into a limp, meandering slog where neither character gets anything interesting to do.
The backup stories carry the book more than the main plot. Constantine and Doctor Strange are easily the highlight, weird pair, great contrast, and the bit where Strange immediately calls out John for trying to knock him out with a sleep spell as soon as he was let into the Sanctum Sanctorum was hilarious. X-23 and Nightwing is a cute team-up between legacy heroes and does what it needs to. The Harley Quinn & Hulk segment is dull (mostly because modern Harley) . And the Kamala Khan/Static Shock piece was completely forgettable.
Aside from the two shorts that I actually enjoyed, the whole book isn’t worth the price. The only real draw is the novelty of DC and Marvel playing together again.
It feels more like a checklist than a celebration.

Tras mas de 20 años, las dos grandes vuelven a juntarse en unas brevisimas historias. Grant Morrison se molesta en darnos un buen contexto a algo que hacíamos de pequeños, juntas nuestros juguetes favoritos, fueran de la compañía que fueran, y hacer que se pegaran. Me gusta especialmente la mezcla de Deadpool para combinarlo con Batman. Sencillo, breve y muy disfrutable.
También me gustó mucho la historia entre Nightwing y Lobezna, dos personajes mas similares de lo que parecía en un principio.

This was my favorite of the recent Marvel and DC collaborations. I’ve read better comics this year, but I don’t think any of them have been this fun! Great creators and team-ups across the board. The four backup stories deliver a lot of emotion and characterization with just a few pages.

Very enjoyable, Grant Morrison's work is full of references, inside jokes and more. It works perfectly for this book. The backup stories are fun, too

It was a fun read

Grant Morrison is a superb writer. Excellent crossover love all the nods to the Amalgam universe. It was excellent. The side stories were fun.

Ça manque toujours d'ambition, mais une fois qu'on l'a accepté c'est plutôt chouette. Le récit Batman/Deadpool est du pur Morrison bien méta, Hellblazer/Dr Strange a un potentiel sous-exploité mais bien présent et Nightwing/Wolverine est une belle gourmandise pour les adeptes de Tom Taylor. Le reste est à jeter par contre.
