7 Epic DC/Marvel Crossovers We Can’t Wait to See After Batman and Deadpool

by

The merging of comic universes in crossovers is simply thrilling! For the first time in over two decades, Marvel and DC are officially joining forces. This means that not one, but two iconic comic realms will collide once more, with the mastermind behind the DC side of this historic one-shot being none other than comics legend Grant Morrison himself. I can hardly contain my excitement about this collaboration between The Big Two on a new venture. However, I must admit that the team-up they’ve selected to kick down those long-shut doors seems a bit unusual – Batman and Deadpool may not be the most compatible characters. Truth be told, there are numerous other fantastic pairings that fans would adore to witness from these two publishing giants instead of just these two. So, let us explore seven DC/Marvel team-ups that we desperately need to see following this groundbreaking crossover featuring Batman and Deadpool.

1) The Captain / Thor

In a harmonious union reminiscent of Valhalla itself, the King of Asgard and the Champion of the Gods make an electrifying duo. While they’ve engaged in epic battles during the DC Versus Marvel series, I believe their synergy as a team would be much more captivating. Watch as the venerable King Thor finds his youthful spirit awakened by the embodiment of hope, Captain America, and conversely, the Captain’s optimism could be stirred by Thor’s ancient wisdom.

Their mythologies could either collide in a grand spectacle or unite to combat an imminent threat that endangers them all. This partnership would not only expand the realm of possibilities for future crossovers but also bring about intriguing outcomes such as Captain America absorbing the powers of Thor’s pantheon, or vice versa. Additionally, it could involve Captain America wielding Mjolnir or even harnessing the Odin Force, while Thor could find himself armed with the powers of Shazam. The potential for divine comic book magic is boundless, and no matter what misadventures these two embark on together, it would undeniably be a joyride!

2) Green Lantern / Fantastic Four

As a movie critic, I’d enthusiastically propose a galactic crossover where DC’s space-patrolling Green Lantern teams up with Marvel’s cosmic guardians, the Fantastic Four, to tackle any extraterrestrial perils eyeing our Earth. Literally, imagine the thrill of witnessing Green Lantern side by side with the Four, halting Galactus from devouring a planet – how cool would that be?

Even more exciting is the prospect of an encounter between Galactus and the Orange Lantern ring, imbued with limitless greed. This could lead to the Fantastic Four acquiring their own power rings, which sounds nothing short of amazing! The most potent weapon in the DC Universe, fueled by imagination, held by a mind as brilliant as Reed Richards? That would be a sight to behold.

3) Nightwing / Spider-Man

This dynamic duo will leave their villains frustrated and imprisoned as they evade them! Nightwing and Spider-Man, two of the most agile heroes hailing from their respective realms, would create an exhilarating spectacle as they somersault and cartwheel through their rogues’ gallery. The sight of Nightwing utilizing a web-shooter on his arm is an intriguing prospect that we can’t wait to see! Their synchronized acrobatics might be matched by the rapid-fire jokes they exchange, while their boundless empathy and optimism would shine as they assist everyone they encounter. This duo promises laughter, awe, and an abundance of heartwarming moments – a superhero team-up like no other! You won’t find a better combination than this in the world of superheroes.

4) Snapper Carr / Rick Jones

It’s inevitable that these two ordinary companions of extraordinary individuals should cross paths someday. Their lives would be entangled in a whirlwind of unforeseeable events, making even the most seasoned predictors scratch their heads. Snapper, who was once an honorary member of the Justice League, and Rick, the Hulk’s lifelong friend, have both been equipped with superpowers and advanced technology throughout their lives. Despite these enhancements, they are essentially ordinary people who find themselves in perilous situations that even their super-powered allies might balk at. Together, they would embark on a wild adventure that may start with buying hotdogs and culminate in their saving the universe, the Justice League, and the Avengers. If things get any more chaotic, they might even persuade Jimmy Olsen to join them!

5) Wonder Woman / Storm

In simple terms, both Wonder Woman and Storm are iconic female superheroes who rule their universes, and there’s no questioning why they’re so adored. They embody some of the coolest characters ever created – one who battles gods and another declared a goddess. The thought of seeing these two collaborate would be nothing short of amazing.

This potential team-up has immense potential to address themes of peace, given their contrasting backgrounds. Wonder Woman hails from the secluded Paradise Island, promoting harmony among all people, while Storm is part of the X-Men during the Krakoa era, where they opted for full isolation. This encounter could spark an intriguing dialogue about the complexities of living apart from those we want to live with.

Such a crossover could delve into deep and emotionally charged topics, making it a captivating read or watch. I wholeheartedly support this idea.

6) World’s Finest / Captain America and Iron Man

The concept of bringing Superman, DC’s emblematic figure representing virtue and humanity, together with Captain America, Marvel’s symbol of ideals and heroism, alongside their respective partners – Batman and Iron Man – promises an exhilarating crossover event. Both sets of heroes embody distinctive qualities that make them exceptional within their respective universes: Superman and Captain America as the soul of their worlds, while Batman and Iron Man are wealthy philanthropists driven by personal pain to better the world. Their relationships are renowned for being some of the most compelling and enjoyable in comics. By merging these dynamic duos, we can highlight the unique sparks that fly when they interact. The prospect of Batman donning an Iron Man suit adds an extra layer of excitement to this potential collaboration.

7) Super Sons / Spider-Man and Miss Marvel

In contrast to the previous narrative which showcased the timeless heroism of established characters from both worlds, this final tale focuses on the emerging generation of heroes. Characters such as Jon Kent, Damian Wayne, Miles Morales, and Kamala Khan are young individuals who continue the legacies of legendary heroes, each rising to the challenge uniquely. They symbolize optimism for a brighter future, and their collective presence promises an exhilarating display of why both universes have promising futures. Not only does this collaboration offer an engaging spectacle, but it also highlights the exceptional camaraderie between Jon and Damian, the witty banter of Spider-Man, and Kamala Khan’s unwavering affection for all things superhero. The resulting crossover would be a delight to fans (except Damian, who would likely endure every moment with reluctance).
