Every time someone said a familiar line I literally shouted out loud, “THAT’S SO-AND-SO” to my boyfriend who had no idea what the hell I was talking about. They don’t say their names, but you can tell from the way they talk, what they say, even how they look, who each person represents as a Looney Tune counterpart. Elmer finds him at Porky’s bar, a place where the bad guys go. Bugs killed a woman and Elmer Fudd’s job is to make him pay for it. In this story, Elmer Fudd is hunting a notorious gang member, Bugs a.k.a “The Bunny”. To me, it was a perfect blend of Looney Tunes humor and the darkness you get from reading a Batman story.

There were moments of intensity…but then I’d read that famous Elmer Fudd lisp and find myself laughing even though someone was about to die.

It maintained this dark and serious Batman feel in the art but was utterly hilarious in it’s dialogue. This comic was everything I had hoped for. It is written by Tom King with art by Lee Weeks and Backup Art by Byron Vaughns. Fudd is presented as a capable, brutal killer and fighter, and while the human takes on classic Looney Tunes characters are suitably outlandish, it blurs the line between parody and thriller quite nicely.Batman / Elmer Fudd is published by DC Comics. Gotham City is a rain-soaked hellhole that almost looks like the city from Seventoo.

The Batman Vs Elmer Fudd crossover walks a strange tonal tightrope because while it takes the premise seriously, its still hilarious to read Elmer's internal dialogue complete with his trademark speech impediment. When barman Porky's bottle runs out he declares "That's all folks!" With that, she leaves the bar and Batman, Bugs and Fudd sit down for a drink of carrot juice. She pitted them against one another in revenge. She left Wayne when she found out about he does at night, and she left Fudd once she learned he was a hired killer. Cloud is alive and she hired Bugs to fake her death. They reluctantly team up to head back to Porky's bar, and after a brawl with the other patrons, they question Bugs again.

Bugs claimed Bruce Wayne, her other lover, hired him to do kill Silver, so Fudd seeks out Wayne at a party and seemingly kills him.īatman later tails Elmer Fudd and they get into an almighty fight. He comes to a seedy bar where classic Looney Tunes characters like Porky Pig are reimagined in human form, and Elmer confronts a buck-toothed killer named Bugs Bunny, Silver's suspected killer. This crossover is presented as a hard-boiled, noirish thriller, where Elmer Fudd comes to Gotham City to avenge the murder of his love Silver St. The mere existence of this Batman Vs Elmer Fudd special is weird on its own, but the strangest thing is that it's pretty good. Related: DC's New MARTHA Twist is Wilder Than Batman v Superman All that pales in comparison to Batman/Elmer Fudd #1, which the Looney Tunes hunter with a speech impediment and a taste for rabbit hunts down Bruce Wayne for revenge. This includes the Jonah Hex/Yosemite Sam special, a Wonder Woman/Tasmanian Devil team-up and the Lobo/Road Runner crossover. The universe of DC Comics and Looney Tunes don't sound like a natural fit, but that didn't stop a number of crossover titles arriving in 2017.
