The news of Frank Miller being tapped to draft Wolverine Vs Batman was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 25. The acclaimed personality, according to GamesRadar, will both write and draw the backup story for the comicverse legends. For those unversed, few names stand out as strikingly as Miller when it comes to DC and Marvel creators, as he is the one credited with popularizing superhero comics among mature masses during the 1980s. Miller’s newest work, per the earlier-mentioned outlet, will hit the stands on September 17.

Frank Miller played a key role in championing superhero comics ages ago notably through his work on the first Wolverine solo series alongside Chris Claremont. His own Batman iteration, The Dark Knight Returns, was also equally loved. With Marvel and DC now once again joining forces for a more creator-focused crossover, it seems appropriate for one of the most influential comic creators to get on board with the venture. Miller, additionally, is not only drafting the story but has also already contributed in other ways.

Frank Miller is not just stepping back into the ring with Batman vs Wolverine — he is reshaping the entire narrative around the Marvel and DC crossover. Alongside the story, Miller has also drawn a variant cover for Deadpool/Batman #1—Marvel’s side of the crossover—bringing his signature touch to the two grizzled icons that helped redefine the genre. His 2025 renditions, however, lean into a more eccentric, evolved style—starkly different from his gritty '80s work but significantly Miller in both tone and vision.

Frank Miller, who is often kept in the company of Nicholas Cage in terms of reaching the peak early, has since embraced a creative freedom that screams legacy. His latest work, for example, does not try to prove a point—because it was proven long ago. Instead, he plays bold here, a reminder of why he was once approached by the two giant superhero houses. For fans and creators alike, this crossover is not just a battle. It is a tribute.
