Deadpool/Batman #1 is a 2025 one-shot crossover event comic published by Marvel, in which Deadpool is hired by the Joker to capture Batman, leading to a reluctant team-up between the Merc with a Mouth and the Dark Knight. The main story, titled "The Dead of Knight," is written by Zeb Wells and drawn by Greg Capullo. It features Deadpool arriving in Gotham with a contract from the Joker, who, with the help of Klarion the Witch Boy, arranged for Deadpool to be brought from the Marvel Universe. The Joker threatens to release a mega Joker Venom bomb unless Batman finds him, forcing the two mismatched heroes to work together. The plot ultimately involves a confrontation orchestrated by Batman, which turns Deadpool and the Joker against each other. In addition to the main plot, the comic also includes several backup stories featuring other Marvel and DC team-ups: Daredevil and Green Arrow: By Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, this story pairs the two archer-heroes against the Hand and the League of Shadows. Captain America and Wonder Woman: By Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, this story shows a montage of the pair's interactions across different eras. Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto: By Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru, a short, lighthearted tale of the two animal sidekicks playing together. Rocket Raccoon and Green Lantern: By Al Ewing and Dike Ruan, a humorous story where Rocket is given a Green Lantern ring. "Logo" (Lobo + Wolverine): By Ryan North and Ryan Stegman, this story teases an amalgam character in the style of the old Amalgam Comics crossovers. Batman and Wolverine: A backup story written and drawn by Frank Miller that pits an Old Man Logan-like Wolverine against the Dark Knight Returns version of Batman. Following the release of Marvel's one-shot in September 2025, a companion comic titled Batman/Deadpool #1, published by DC, was released in November 2025, continuing the crossover event.
