Batmanis a lonely , brood hero , and yet he ’s had the most team - ups of any DC sub , including with the Looney Tunes characterElmer Fudd . I almost did n’t take this laughable comedian badly , but when I learn it , my jaw miss . It ’s light-headed in its seriousness , and yet , it ’s almost impossible for me to not come to the decision that this version of Elmer Fudd is a certified badass .

InBatman / Elmer Fudd Special#1by Tom King , Lee Weeks , Lovern Kindzierski , and Deron Bennett , Bruce Wayne face an attempt on his life from the hunter Elmer Fudd . Soon , Batmanis on the case , and after a scuffle , the two characters cease up hold a usual goal in hunting down the killer of Silver St. Cloud .

From just that synopsis , I know that if I did n’t already know Elmer Fudd , I would have thought this was just another Batman fictitious character - and not a famous cartoon icon . And yet , Batman / Elmer Fudd Special#1 makes an anti - hero out of a Looney Tunes character , against my dotty expectations , and pairs him with Batman of all the characters .

Elmer Fudd Becomes Batman’s Newest Partner

Truthfully , I ’m not only a womb-to-tomb Batman buff , butI’m a Tom King evangelist , ever since his seriesThe Sheriff of Babylonwith creative person Mitch Gerads . His run as theBatmanwriter from 2016 to 2019 is one of my favorites and does a wonderful job ofdelving into the psychological profundity of what it read to become someone like Batman . It also has the most famous contemporary family relationship stories between Batman and Catwoman , as well as the horrifying fate of Alfred and Bane . All in all , King’sBatmanis one of my favorite DC political campaign , and so it ’s no wonder that he gives that same gravity , albeit on a much more comical scale , to Elmer Fudd .

Elmer Fudd even has the brooding internal dialogue like Batman would have , albeit in his own particular voice .

With all the character chemical element that fans have amount to expect from a quality like Elmer Fudd , include his voice communication impediment and his catch phrase of hunt rabbits , the Bugs Bunny hunter switches mood and takes on a Batman - worthy tone . Right from the root , he arrives at the barroom Porky ’s to shoot down Bugs with his shotgun , making him a Gotham character through - and - through . He even has the brooding home negotiation like Batman would have , albeit in his own finicky voice .

Batman Meets His Match in Elmer Fudd

Elmer Fudd’s Specialty Is the Dark Knight’s Blind Spot

Batman has been up against all manner of villains , considering hislist of Gotham roguesis extensive , but one of his most surprising fights involves a simple shotgun . In his first encounter with the Bat , Elmer Fudd more than holds his own , show me more than just a cartoonish fight . Elmer Fudd and Batman fight in a very gritty style that tests Batman ’s fighting limits , considering he does n’t use hit man . The Dark Knight may have mastered all sort of soldierlike arts , buthe had never encountered a huntsman with a scattergun before , which is Elmer Fudd ’s peculiarity .

At this here and now , I realized that Elmer Fudd was a much more serious character than I had supposed . Due to his origin , I was adopt he would only have a comedic role , but it was that very assumption that leave him to nearly beat Batman single - handedly . Turns out , too , thatElmer Fudd makes a very honorable Robin . As both Elmer and Batman track down Silver St. Cloud ’s grampus , they work in such a manner thatI had almost completely block how silly I thought the comedian was supposed to bein the beginning .

His Classic Comedic Quips Make Him a Perfect Gotham Fit

I would n’t have expectedBatman to mate so well with a grapheme whose master personality trait is a shotgun . More than that , Elmer Fudd really seems to fit out into the madness of Gotham . With characters like the Joker , the Riddler , and the Mad Hatter , Gotham often slips into the world of fairy tales , with fantastical villain who sleep with gag at the proper clock time . I retrieve Elmer Fudd fits perfectly in this kind of human race , as he extradite a unadulterated punchline with a shotgun in a mercenary ’s mouth .

Absolute Batman ’s scallywag ’ veranda has only started to shape up , but a social mass medium station fuels surmisal of a next absolute baddie .

In one of the silly comics to follow out of DC , I witness a story that was actually cool than I was expecting . The star of the comic that glow for me is n’t even Batman at all , but Elmer Fudd himself , one of DC ’s new characters , with his combat skills , his comedic backchat and timing , and his catch news report . Elmer Fudd might just belong more in Gotham than he does in the Looney Tunes world . I , for one , as a buff who grew up with both worlds , screw escort them clash . Of courseBatmancould make such a badass out of someone likeElmer Fudd .
