Fastball Special!

Took me saying "Carson O Jenn" out loud to get the pun.

This makes me want so many more meetings between these two.

I never thought of Dick as a nepobaby, but, I mean, yeah.

Jonathan!

I always have time for Dick acknowledging the other Robins - especially Damian - as his brothers.

Dick is from a circus, was fostered / adopted, and co-founded the Teen Titans. That man is all about found family.

Her name is Laura Kinney.

She's Wolverine.

She had another name. But she defeated it.

FUCK YEAH! Nigthwing says trans rights!

Very cute.

In case you didn't catch it from the cover, this issue was written by Grant Morrison. Hence this joke leading to E is for Extinction.

This moment leads to an AWESOME cameo which I will not spoil.

Party pooper.

Me thinks Batman knows Wade's real name and is fucking with him.

DC / Marvel: Batman / Deadpool #1

After the Deadpool / Batman portion, we're given shorter crossover stories:

- Captain America / Wonder Woman
- Jeff / Krypto
- Daredevil / Green Arrow
- Green Lantern / Rocket Raccoon
- Batman / Old Man Logan
- Logo (Wolverine and Lobo)

There are some cute gags in them, including these.

Notice Joker's face as Deadpool ruins his deathtrap.
November 28, 2025 at 11:39 PM
Joker shouldn't fall for this.
November 28, 2025 at 11:39 PM
And now we know how this crossover came to be.
November 28, 2025 at 11:39 PM
This is interesting - and subtle.

Notice the font used for Bruce and Gordon is thinner than the font used for Batman. That little touch goes a long way to show us Bruce has a different Batman voice.

Batman knows to give zero satisfaction to someone like Deadpool.

Knowing this was a four-issue series, I was beginning to wonder how they were going to fit in Griffin becoming The Invisible Man and going about his misadventures - especially as the pages dwindled. Then I realized, "Ah, this is a prequel to the movie." Which I now must see thanks to this comic.

That said, Tommy does seek some revenge. Just not the exact sort the madman thought up.
November 28, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Because he himself is a violent, mentally unwell man looking for an excuse to murder, Griffin cannot imagine someone with the "power" of invisibility not giving into their darkest fantasies. So he imagines Tommy, the young lad he kidnapped, doing just that.
