WARNING: CONTAINS POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR GOTHAM CITY SIRENS #3!I can honestly say it wasn’t on my 2024 Comic Predictions Bingo Card for DC To debut their version of the HulkBut I’m so here for him. Marvel’s Green Goliath will always be the original – iconic in a way no remake could ever match. But I have to admit, DC’s names have a hilarious charm, and now I’m craving a crossover.
I’d like to see the Hulk face a taste of his own medicine by teaming up with an even more exaggerated version of himself.
Gotham City Sirens #3, by Leah Williams, Matteo Lolli, and Tríona Farrel, continues the Wild West adventures of Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy as they battle Punchline and her brutal, illegal energy drink-sponsored hunting operation that endangers both wildlife and Gotham City residents.
Despite their efforts, Punchline overpowers them and locks them in a prison cell, cranking up the heat to dehydrate the Sirens and forcing them to drink her mind-controlling energy drink. Just when things seem difficult for the Sirens, their honorary member, White Rabbit, comes to save them – but she is not alone. Dumb Bunny is in tow!
White Rabbit creates Dumb Bunny (and she’s basically the DC version of the Hulk)
Gotham City Sirens #3 introduces Dumb Bunny to the DC Universe
Jaina “white rabbit” Hudson is a notorious Gotham rogue, though she lacks the same level of clout as Harley, Selina, and Ivy. Still, Rabbit is well-established in DC lore, primarily known for her unique ability to clone herself. Gotham City Sirens #3 reveals that Jaina can make exaggerated copies of herself, as demonstrated by Her creation of Dumb Bunny – a hulking, incredibly strong, but distinctly dimwitted version of herself. With Doom Bunny’s massive body and brute strength, combined with her reduced intelligence, it’s clear that the character is DC’s playful nod to the Hulk.
While Mute Bonnie makes her debut in issue #3 of Gotham City SirensShe sticks around for issue #4, giving fans more time to enjoy the sheer hilarity she brings to the already dynamic mix of Harley, Jaina, Ivy and Selina. Despite being essentially a weapon of mass destruction, Dumb Bunny’s childlike intelligence and darling Damian Make her exceptionally likable, especially in scenes where she crushes villains to protect her friends. Recently, White Rabbit has made a comeback in comics, including in Joshua Williamson Batman and Robin Series. It will be intriguing to see if Dumb Bunny follows this trend.
GRAAAAH!: Dumb Bunny even has her own version of “Hulk Smash!”
There may not be a market for a Dumb Bunny/Hulk crossover, but that doesn’t change the fact that I still want one
In addition to Dumb Bunny’s intelligence and strength paralleling the Hulk’s, she also seems to have her own version of Bruce Banner’s iconic. “Hulk Smash!” catch phrase“Grey!” Although it’s more benign and less articulate, Dumb Bunny’s roar as she brings her fists down in a smashing move that closely resembles the Hulk’s signature moves establishes a clear connection. The similarities make me wish for a crossover between the two characters, even if there is no current market for it. I would like to see these Hulk Face a taste of his own medicine by teaming up with an even more exaggerated version of himself.
