Marvel and DC are pulling out all the stops for their new crossover by bringing in comics legend Frank Miller to write and draw a story that pits Old Man Logan Wolverine against the Dark Knight Returns Batman

As part of Marvel and DC’s new crossover – their first in over 20 years – legendary creator Frank Miller will return to both Wolverine and Batman by writing and drawing a back-up story that presents perhaps the ultimate comic book brawl: Old Man Logan vs. Miller’s grizzled Dark Knight.

When it comes to legendary DC and Marvel Comics creators, few names stand out as brightly as Frank Miller, who brought superhero comics to a new, more mature audience in the ’80s thanks in part to his work on the first Wolverine solo series alongside writer Chris Claremont, and his own Batman epic The Dark Knight Returns.

With Marvel and DC now coming together once again for a more creator-focused crossover than their specifically character driven ’90s Marvel Vs. DC series, it seems fitting that Miller step back into interior comics with two of the characters that most solidified him as a household name for comic fans, and one of the most influential comic creators ever to grace the medium.

Along with the story itself, Miller has drafted a variant cover for Deadpool/Batman #1, the Marvel side of the crossover (as opposed to DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1), which shows off his 2025 renditions of his Dark Knight Batman, and Marvel’s now classic post-apocalyptic Wolverine, Old Man Logan.
