EW had the exclusive, with a mysterious collaboration between DC and Marvel starting this September with one-shot Deadpool/Batman by Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo. Then in December, Grant Morrison and Dan Mora teamed up for One-Shot Batman/Deadpool.
So what is Deadpool/Batman?
Wade Wilson is hired for a job in Gotham City and places him on the cross of the world’s largest detective. Furthermore, according to the official description, it is a “backup adventure” featuring “an exciting Marvel and DC character matchups.”
“After writing the amazing Spider-Man with 60 issues, I told Marvel that he needed a break,” Wells told EW. “Marvel told me I could do that, or I was able to write a cartoon starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I didn’t need a break anymore. In Batman, I found someone who even less deceased time for Deadpool than Wolverine, but the citywide threat from the Joker made a strange bed fellow (literally made Deadpool loose.”
“Do I dream? This crossover is likely the highest point of my career…and I had an amazing career,” the artist adds via email. “Some of my early jobs (years ago) were in X-Force, so Deadpool and I have returned. Recently, I spent over a decade drawing Batman in DC. The idea of being able to do a crossover event with Deadpool and Batman… If you’re dreaming, don’t wake me up!”
For more information about Morrison/Morajam, look forward to more story later this year.
“I haven’t done a lot of cartoons lately, but there’s no way I could turn down a chance to work again with one of my favorite artistic collaborators, Dan Mora. Morrison said in a statement: “Expect a fourth walled mayhem, owl, blood, blades, at least one huge typewriter!”
Mora said, “This is more than you could imagine in your career and being part of this crossover is a great honor. It doesn’t happen very often. When I first worked at Grant, I didn’t know what to expect, but it was an incredible team up, but I’ve always wanted to work at Grant. Make it a very enjoyable experience.”
