In early 2025, DC and Marvel excited comic readers with their announcement of their first collaboration in over two decades. The publishers confirmed a Batman/Deadpool one-shot and a Deadpool/Batman one-shot to start the new partnership. However, both companies blindsided fans with the surprise release of two more crossover comics on November 12, 2025.
DC/Marvel have a history of crossing over in comics. Their first collaboration came in 1976 with Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century. More crossovers came out sporadically throughout the late 20th century.
The last DC/Marvel crossover came in 2003, with JLA/Avengers. Given that, comic readers were happy to see the two biggest American comic publishers joining forces yet again in 2025. However, the announcement of two more tiles was truly surprising after the hype built up around Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool.
