BURBANK, CA — DC today announced Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1, an all-new 40-page one-shot comic book that brings the World’s Finest together with the one, the only, the undisputed king of musical parody, “Weird Al” Yankovic, for a dimension-hopping adventure unlike anything they’ve faced before. Written by Mark Waid, with “vibes” by Yankovic himself and art and main cover by Dan Schoening, Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1 arrives September 2, 2026.
The fifth dimension is being hit with an affliction that turns everything dull and ordinary, but as Mr. Mxyzptlk reaches out to Superman and Batman for help, the same plague has struck Earth! Instead of dialing H for a hero, there’s only one person to call: “Weird Al”! Get ready for a wild one-shot where the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic joins the World’s Finest team!
Featuring variant covers by Mark Spears, Riley Rossmo, Jerry Gaylord, and Dan Schoening (foil), Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1 celebrates the joy of the unexpected and the power of embracing the wonderfully weird.

For longtime fans, “Weird Al” is no stranger (just wonderfully strange) when it comes to comic books. He previously guest‑edited an issue of MAD Magazine, bringing his signature off‑kilter sensibility to the legendary humor publication, and he recently had cameos on two DC variant covers: the “Totally Normal Al” cover for Bizarro: Year None #1 and a “Weird Al” variant for Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #50, both drawn by Dan Mora. His latest appearance in World’s Weirdest continues a tradition of delightfully unexpected crossovers between the world’s finest heroes and the world’s weirdest icon.
