Oh my goodness. If you told me years ago that I would love a cross over between Elmer Fudd and Batman I would've said your crazy. Whelp I guess I'm crazy. This is a noir story through and through. And it's way better than it has any right to be. I don't want to go into the plot because its surprisingly full of twists and turns for one issue. The art was also a stand out. It was grimy and dark and it had the perfect blend of shadowing that made me feel like I was in Gotham. Finally seeing the Looney Tune cast as Gotham criminals was fantastic. A must read issue for not only batman fans but for Noir fans as well. Its goofy and silly yet at the same time I couldn't put this down. Incredible.

This has absolutely no right to be as good as it is. And yet, it is.

There's some nonsense to how ratings work. There's a lot of nuance involved in how one book can be 5 stars and a seemingly (objectively) better book can be 4 stars. A lot of times, expectations are at the heart of these oddities, and that is certainly the case here.

What did you expect when you saw this book has Batman and Elmer Fudd in it? If you said anything other than "complete garbage, terrible jokes, and a reminder of why crossovers are terrible," you're a liar. Which is why this gets as many stars as it does. It's not that it's great. It's that it is so much better than expectations that I don't know what else to do with it.



The only things you need to know about this is that the Looney Tunes characters are humans, it's a noir story, and it's way better than it has any right to be.

But now you've read this and your expectations are all messed up, so it's going to be terrible. Sorry.

There are two stories in this issue both are a team up of Loony Tunes and Batman.

The first is in Batman's world and meant to be serious. It was ok.

The second story takes place in Loony Tunes' world and was glorious. They recreate the whole duck season, rabbit season gag but with Batman. I couldn't stop laughing.

Here's the deal: Brad told me about this and about the fact that Tom King is supposed to be a god among comic book writers. I didn't know who Elmer Fudd was by name but the little guy made me think of the hunter from Looney Tunes who always tries to get Bugs Bunny. Here's the kicker: HE IS.

Yep, folks, you read that right: they mixed Batman with Looney Tunes. Pretty crazy. Crazy enough to get me interested. And since this is a one-issue-comic only, I decided to spend tonight giving it a shot.

The story? Simple: A noir version of Elmer Fudd is in Gotham to hunt a noir version of Bugs Bunny. He, in turn, swears that while he did what Elmer Fudd is hunting him for, Bruce Wayne made him do it. So Elmer Fudd hunts Bruce, meets Batman and ... well, I won't tell you how it all ends.

As a bonus, we get a Looney Tunes backup story that features some DC characters written by Tom King and which actually made me chuckle (yes, I enjoyed it more than the actual comic).

The artwork in the Batman/Elmer Fudd Special as well as and the backup story's artwork by Byron Vaughns was pretty good. The former was very appropriate for a noir crime story, the latter was the typical style you'd expect from Looney Tunes.

But the story itself ... too simple if you ask me. Maybe the writer just wanted to have some fun by combining two unlikely worlds, I don't know, but I need a bit more substance to my comics, even if they are just meant to be some silly fun with nods to classic characters.
