It's about how instead of landing in rural Kansas, Kal-El lands on the grounds of Wayne Manor... and is adopted by Thomas and Martha Wayne... who are eventually shot in Crime Alley. Yes, in this story, Superman BECOMES Batman. It kind of goes off the rails near the end, but for the most part, it's really, really good.

"World's Funnest" might disappoint you, Drake, considering it's basically a book-long fight scene, but I got a huge kick out of it. Y'see, the combatants are Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite, and their tussle sends them crashing and hurtling through a bunch of iconic DC settings and timelines which are all completely and utterly wrecked in their wake. Half the fun for me was trying to identify where they were, who was watching them, and how many corny in-jokes could the creative team make in sixty-four pages (spoiler: a lot).
