Tropes presented in the crossovers
- Adaptational Badass: The maxi-series involved a Weird Crossover between... well, Looney Tunes and DC Comics characters, occasionally having them fight each other. While many of them (such as Bugs Bunny) were awesome fighters by just being themselves, we have a few examples of this trope:
- The Tom King-penned Batman/Elmer Fudd special reimagines Elmer as a realistic Batman-style character who is a bit of a Cloud Cuckoolander, 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.
- The Jonah Hex / Yosemite Sam special not only shows how Sam is a badass gunslinger when pitted against anybody who is not Bugs Bunny, but also has an appearance from a Foghorn Leghorn who takes quite a lot of inspiration from "Rooster" Cogburn.
- The Wonder Woman / Tasmanian Devil special has Taz reimagined as a mythical beast.
- Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster: Wonder Woman / Tasmanian Devil
- Darker and Edgier: A lot of the DC focused stories turn Looney Tubes into darker versions of themselves.
- Martians: Naturally with the Marvin the Martian and Martian Manhunter special. Though they are different types of Martians.
