Weird Al Yankovic teams up with DC’s World’s Finest in one-shot special this September

Article excerpt

DC Comics is publishing a one-shot special this September pairing Superman and Batman with Weird Al Yankovic, the polka accordion virtuoso best known for turning pop songs into absurdist parodies. The crossover marks another in an increasingly playful tradition of unexpected team-ups between the publisher's marquee characters and unlikely cultural figures. Details remain sparse, but the announcement plays up the comedic absurdity of seeing the grim Dark Knight and the Boy Scout share a story with the accordion-wielding entertainer who made "Eat It" and "Amish Paradise" unlikely hits.
