The first big (official) crossover between Marvel and DC in years is on the way, with a set of, "Deadpool/Batman," and, "Batman/Deadpool," issues containing those two titans facing off and other characters meeting in back-up stories. Interestingly, Skottie Young posted two versions of a cover he made and told folks to spot the difference. You can view the covers above with the left side being the official cover and the right side being the original that was altered. As you probably see, the beam of light went from just looking vaguely like it was calling Deadpool to clearly spotlighting both Batman and Deadpool. Apparently, "Legal," told him both characters need equal billing in the light. I guess Deadpool literally can't outshine Batman. There was a rumor that the symbol looked too much like a Pokémon symbol, and that was the issue, but Young dispelled that rumor when he explained the change.
It is a small change, but it goes to show how much behind-the-scenes maneuvering there must have been between DC and Marvel to make this crossover happen and ensure both companies were pleased with how their characters interact with one another in this cross-universe event. I continue to be curious about this comic and will check it out when the first issue drops in September.
