Comic book giants Marvel and DC recently had their first crossover in decades with the release of Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool. Both books contained a longer story featuring Batman and Deadpool, as well as shorter companion stories featuring crossovers between other Marvel and DC fan-favorites. Between all of those stories, there are quite a lot of crossovers between iconic characters. Let’s see how they all stack up against each other, ranked from weakest to best.

12) Jeff! & Krypto: Catch

Two adorable animal superheroes playing a crazy game of catch is a lot of fun. It’s super cute, but that’s all it is. They could have had them team up to fight an animal villain or at least have them accidentally wreaking havoc while playing this game of catch, but instead, it’s just a regular, cute game of catch, nothing more. It’s okay.

11) Old Man Logan & Batman The Dark Knight Returns: Showdown

This one’s another fun idea that doesn’t really go anywhere. Old Man Logan and The Dark Knight Returns are two incredible stories about where these characters end up later on in their lives. They’re dark, emotional, and interesting. Here, it’s just a quick old man joke about the two of them. They’ve aged, they’re out of shape, and that means it’s funny. Sure, it’s cool to see them together in this iconic art style, and it’s funny enough, but it could have been so much more.

10) Logo: Enter Logo

The entire concept of Logo is just plain awesome, and the action matches that awesomeness. That being said, this very brief story feels more like the pilot episode of a TV series. It’s a solid introduction to something that could be incredible, but it doesn’t have a lot of meat to it. If they somehow find a way to continue this in the future, it will be something especially great.

9) Captain America & Wonder Woman: The Gun & The Sword

This is an interesting one. It’s a solid tale about two soldiers who bond over their need to protect the innocent through their own various means. It’s a good emotional story, and their relationship is truly felt. That being said, much of it is talking about the past rather than seeing everything play out in the moment. It’s also unclear if this story takes place in some hybrid universe or if they traveled to each others’ or what. Still, this is a great way to see these two heroes interact.

8) John Constantine Hellblazer & Doctor Strange: A Magician Walks Into a Universe

The two all-powerful wizards from their respective dimensions team-up is an absolute dream. It’s really cool seeing these two interact and discuss their views on magic, darkness, and Hell. Their banter is extremely entertaining. Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t lead to any magic-focused adventure or battling interdimensional demons or the like. It stops at them discussing it all, which is a bit of a missed opportunity despite their conversation being an entertaining one.

7) Harley Quinn & The Incredible Hulk: Harley & Hulk’s Amazin’ Saturday

At first glance, this one feels like an odd team-up. But when you take into consideration that both of their origins involve being exposed to chemicals or radiation that changed their bodies, it starts to make at least a little more sense. They do briefly talk about that similarity, which is a nice moment. This story is also quite funny, having this unlikely duo taking on a batch of mutant killer hotdogs. It’s not the most dramatic or interesting tale, but it’s definitely worth a chuckle and envisioning the battle with the hotdogs is quite entertaining.

6) Rocket Raccoon & Green Lantern: Rocket Raccoon Has a Green Lantern Ring Now

The title says it all here. Rocket Raccoon gets a Green Lantern Ring. In fact, he and Hal Jordan take part in a cultural exchange between the Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the Galaxy. It leads to Rocket getting into plenty of hilarious shenanigans. It’s enough to make both parties regret it. Green Arrow, however, seems to be hilariously chill about it. It all showcases just how unqualified Rocket is to wield a Lantern ring, but it’s wildly entertaining. 

5) Static & Ms. Marvel: New Friends In Old Places

This one, despite being short, showcases a terrific balance between story and action. Both of these young heroes have a lot in common with their similar home lives and relationships with their families. If anything, this comic is going to have a lot of readers shipping them in the future. Plus, they get to team up to battle a kaiju, which is very exciting to see.

4) Daredevil & Green Arrow: The Red & The Green

Written by the always-entertaining Kevin Smith, this one maximizes the humor and the action. These two characters’ similar ideologies, fighting styles, and villains make them perfect for a team-up. Their meeting feels both organic and entertaining, and their whole conversation during the battle against an onslaught of ninjas is a ton of fun. These two could make for a brilliant ongoing series.

3) Nightwing & Laura Kinney Wolverine: Sticks & Snikts

Both Nightwing and Laura Kinney Wolverine are heroes living in the shadows of their adoptive fathers who are the best at what they do. Seeing them bond over this, as well as their similar ideologies, leads to an emotional story. These heroes teaming up to take on Killer Croc is just plain epic. A lot of comic readers would probably want to see these two work together much more than just a one-off short story.

2) Deadpool & Batman: The Dead of the Knight

Batman and Deadpool team up for the first time, and it’s every bit hilarious, action-packed, and entertaining as you could imagine. The explanation as to how that’s even possible is pretty fun and actually quite interesting. Deadpool particularly gets an intriguing character arc. Batman getting Joker mad about someone (Deadpool) who can out-crazy him is absolutely brilliant. Seeing how Deadpool operates in Gotham City is a blast for any comic reader.

1) Batman & Deadpool: The Cosmic Kiss Caper!

This story has it all. Who should be the villain of a Batman/Deadpool team-up? Obviously the most meta villain DC has ever had, of course. The Writer, a.k.a. Grant Morrison, being written by Grant Morrison, taking on the king of metahumor and references, is spectacular and clever. There’s a fun riddle the heroes need to figure out that’s fun for the reader to play along with. Dark Claw makes his comic book return. This story even gives the world Dead-Bat, a Deadpool/Batman hybrid, which is the best kind of fan service. This is everything that a comic book crossover should be.
