DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool # 1 Second Printing 2026 BN

DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1, released on November 19, 2025, is a 64-page crossover one-shot published by DC Comics. It is the second of two historic 2025 collaborations between DC and Marvel, following the September release of Marvel's Deadpool/Batman #1. 

Main Story: "The Cosmic Kiss Caper" 

The lead story is written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dan Mora. 

• Plot: Described as a "metaphysical car crash," the story pits Batman’s brooding, methodical nature against Deadpool’s fourth-wall-breaking chaos.
• The Threat: The duo faces Cassandra Nova, who manipulates Batman into locating a reality-altering relic called the Quantum Keyboard (revealed to be the writer's laptop).
• Mashup Hero: The issue introduces Dead-Bat, a fusion of Batman and Deadpool, continuing the legacy of the 1990s Amalgam era.
• Multiverse Cameos: The adventure spans locations from Apokolips to Earth-TRN666 and features the sentient, show-tune-singing street, Danny the Street.
