Teen Titans Go! to Feature Weird Al Yankovic as Voice of Darkseid
Teen Titans Go!, despite some criticisms from die-hard Teen Titans fans, is a mega hit. In fact, it recently crossed the 100th episode mark on Cartoon Network. True, the episodes are really more like 11-minute bursts of self-contained stories, but it could’ve gotten cancelled at any time. With the go ahead for Season 3 to come, the team behind Teen Titans Go! talked with Comic Book Resources about what to expect in the upcoming season. This includes a “two-part crossover” with the Justice League and a very special voice for Darkseid in Weird Al Yankovic:
“Aaron Horvath: There’s a Justice League two-parter crossover episode featuring a very special guest star, voicing Darkseid.
Michael Jelenic: We cast maybe the most —
Horvath: menacing —
Jelenic: voice ever.
Jelenic: But he plays a very funny version of Darkseid.
Horvath: Starfire gives him a lozenge for his throat because he’s very —
Jelenic: You know, he’s very [grumbles a low growl] very deep, as you would expect him to do. And then he gets a lozenge, and he sounds like Weird Al. Which is not how anybody expects Darkseid to sound.”
Teen Titans Go! Season 3, featuring Weird Al as Darkseid, will air later this year on Cartoon Network.
