The Bizarro World (also known as htraE, which is "Earth" spelled backwards) is a fictional planet appearing in American comic books published by DC comics. Introduced in the early 1960s, htraE is a cube-shaped planet, home to Bizarro and companions, all of whom were initially Bizarro versions of Superman, Lois Lane and their children and, later, other Bizarros including Batzarro, the World's Worst Detective.

In popular culture "Bizarro World" has come to mean a situation or setting which is weirdly inverted or opposite to expectations.

History

In the Bizarro world of "htraE" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: "Guaranteed to lose money for you". Later, the mayor appoints Bizarro No. 1 to investigate a crime, "Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together". This is intended and taken as a great compliment.

Bizarro World is the fifth full-length studio album by Deadlock. It was released on February 28, 2011 and was the last album to feature Johannes Prem as harsh vocalist and Gert Rymen as rhythm guitarist who had left in 2011 and 2013 respectively, also it was the only album to feature John Gahlert on bass til he switched to harsh vocals to replace Johannes Prem.
