''Batman/Elmer Fudd Special'' is a one-shot crossover published in August 2017, featuring ComicBook/{{Batman}} and WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd as part of the ''ComicBook/DCMeetsLooneyTunes'' crossover event.
Growing up poor and destitute somewhere outside of Gotham City, Elmer Fudd is a career criminal, a hired gun paid to eliminate other people’s problems. He has no love for violence, but views it as the only way for a guy like him to make it in a world as seedy as Gotham’s. Armed only with his trusty shotgun and his own street smarts, he's a dangerous man to anger, although he has a bad habit of believing everything that's told to him. When his lover is murdered, his quest for vengeance sets him on a path to encounter Gotham's Dark Knight.

!!Tropes:
* {{Acrofatic}}: While not exactly fat, Elmer is pudgy or at least stocky. He’s still able to keep up with Batman in a fistfight.
* AdaptationalBadass: In regular ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' continuity Elmer Fudd is a designated ButtMonkey and a pathetic, slow-witted schlub for Bugs Bunny to make a fool of. In the comic however, Elmer is reimagined as a realistic Batman-style character who is a bit of a CloudCuckoolander, but is an accomplished hunter and former professional killer with a double-barreled shotgun and hunter-gained reflexes. As such, during their brief encounter, he puts up more of a fight than most of the goons Batman runs into, actually manages to fight Batman to a standstill (and is able to detect Batsy is sneaking behind him rather quickly). You get the feeling that this version of Bugs relies on trickery because Fudd is downright scary in an open confrontation.
* AntiVillain: Elmer’s a mob hitman, perfectly at home with murder. That said, he’s also a [[FoolForLove hopeless romantic at heart]], knows his career is a dead-end job (literally), and would like nothing better than to give it all up and go straight, if he could just find something worth living for.
* BadassNormal: No powers, no gadgets, not particularly [[PowerBornOfMadness insane]], not even years of explicit training or an obvious gimmick. At a glance, Fudd could be mistaken for a common thug off the street. A random thug off the street who can sense Batman sneaking up on him and last over a minute in open confrontation with him.
* BottomlessMagazines: Elmer somehow manages to fire a double-barreled shotgun three times without visibly reloading.
* CatchPhrase: ''I’m hunting [target]. Shhh...'' Of course for Elmer.
* CountryMouse: Elmer grew up outside the city, without the benefits of most modern society, explaining his skills in stalking and shooting. When he moved to the city, he found his skill set was most hirable as a professional man-hunter.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Elmer’s a Franchise/LooneyTunes character, redone to be believable as a Batman antagonist. Somehow it works.
* DirtyBusiness: Elmer considers his career to be this, and has no delusions about having a happy ending at the end of it.
* ElmerFuddSyndrome: {{Parodied|Trope}} by Elmer Fudd himself in the ''[[ComicBook/DCMeetsLooneyTunes Batman/Elmer Fudd Special]]'', featuring Elmer Fudd and several humanized ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters transposed into the gritty world of [[ComicBook/BatmanTomKing Tom King's run of Batman]]. The comic plays the neo-noir crime drama aspect of ''Batman'' completely straight, with Fudd [[DarkerAndEdgier giving deadpan and surprisingly poignant internal monologues]] as he hunts down the Batman, ''[[TheComicallySerious all with the speech impediment]].''

* OffhandBackhand: In a reversal of the usual roles, Elmer does this to Batman. With a shotgun. Needless to say it [[DodgeTheBullet doesn't work]], but not for lack of effort.
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Elmer seems to keep one up in his head at all times.
* TranquilFury: Elmer’s TheStoic, even when he’s about to murder somebody.
