We’re diving into the unpredictable crossover chaos of Batman/Deadpool by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora! We begin with this record-breaking comic and unpack its surprising tone, before exploring the deeper themes of metafiction and DC/Marvel blending in related stories from The Amalgam Age 2026 event. Along the way, we trace the alternate universe legacy of fourth-wall-breaking storytelling, then wrap with speculation about what other mash-ups or media adaptations this might inspire.
