Fans think Batman x Dragon Ball Crossover is a hint!?
Okay, it’s been a month since we set foot in 2026, and now, after a month, there’ll be a Spidey crossover with Man of Steel, but in this month itself, we got a crossover set in DC K.O.: Boss Battle. But along with that, we got a crossover, we never saw coming, never, not in a bazillion times, but we all wished for almost a similar crossover, again a bazillion times.
Yeah, guess what; Batman x Dragon Ball crossover happened! It was very silent, but highly explosive among fans. Maybe not as fans wanted, but still it is HUGEEEE!
In the just-released DC K.O.: Knightfight #4, Batman visits a future in which his son, Damian Wayne, introduces him to his grandson, Alfred.
In a few panels, as Bruce is shown savoring moments with his new grandson, Alfred, we catch a glimpse of them watching TV. We see the duo laughing at a video of the Saiyan duo, Goku and Vegeta.
The palette-swapped image shows the scene from Dragon Ball Z episode 274: Mind’s Trap, where the duo encounters a giant worm within Super Buu.
For Batsy fans, this can be seen as something Batman enjoys and shares with his fandom. But a question lingers: Is DC setting Up A Dragon Ball crossover? If so, is this a hint for what’s coming?
Is this a build-up for a DC/Dragon Ball crossover!?
Superman merging with Shazam with Potara earrings was a nod to Dragon Ball already. DC K.O.: Boss Battle is featuring a huge cameo (Homelander, Red Sonja, Sabrina, Sub-Zero, Vampirella, Samantha Strong, Annabelle) from other verses/properties.
This isn’t the first time a Dragon Ball shout-out has occurred in DC Comics. In Superman #28: Legion of Darkseid Part One, a poster of Gohan (though he looks like kid Goku) and his small dragon named, Icarus, in Clark Kent’s room in Smallville.
And in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #2, a warrior from ancient China strikes a pose similar to Goku’s famous battle stance.
It was just a reference earlier, but now the characters are getting close. Looks like we might get an actual DC x Dragon Ball crossover sooner or later. Let’s keep fingers crossed!
Anyway, now DC lovers have Superman & Batman in connection with Dragon Ball, esp. Goku & Vegeta, who were preceded by Icarus & Gohan.
DC K.O.: Knightfight #4 and DC K.O.: Boss Battle are available now, and DC. K.O. #5 will be out on 11th Feb.
