A 1943 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and starring Bugs Bunny.

Bugs Bunny gets superpowers thanks to eating a scientist's super-carrot and uses his newfound powers to go up against a rabbit hunter in Texas.

As indicated by the title, the short is a parody of Superman, particularly the Superman Theatrical Cartoons by Fleischer Studios and Famous Studios. Funnily enough, DC Comics would be bought by the Kinney National Company in 1967, who then later acquired Warner Bros. itself in 1969, bringing Bugs and Superman under one roof, which makes this short seem quite prophetic in hindsight.

Tropes:

• Binomium ridiculus: The box that Bugs was in at the science lab reads: "Rabbitus Idiotus Americanus".
• Clark Kenting: Bugs disguises himself as a mild-mannered forest creature by putting on glasses and a Manhattan fedora.
• Fantastic Racism: Cottontail Smith really hates rabbits.
  Cottontail Smith: If there's anything I hate more than a rabbit, it's two rabbits.
• Foreboding Fleeing Flock: When Bugs first arrives in Texas, he comes across a bunch of other rabbits running past him, with one stopping long enough to warn him to run away from Cottontail Smith.
• Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: While flying to Texas, the superpowered Bugs comes across a horse who is somehow walking on mid-air in the sky and doesn't fall even after he finds "A rabbit? Up here?!".
• Hypocritical Humor: While Bugs is flying, he passes by a horse that's walking in the sky. The Horse sees Bugs and exclaims, "A rabbit? Up here!?"
• Immune to Bullets: Cottontail Smith shoots Bugs' entire front body, only for the bullets to harmlessly fall to the ground.
• In a Single Bound: In the opening, Bugs leaps over a building, but trips over the very tip of it and falls a long way down.
• Oh, Crap!: Bugs' power is wearing off while in flight, but as he takes out his super carrots, he accidentally drops them all. He looks forlornly at the camera and lets out a feeble "yipe" before plummeting to the ground.
• Phone Booth Changing Room: Bugs uses them throughout to change costumes, the strange part is why there's a telephone booth in a science lab and the middle of a Texas plain.
• Power-Up Food: Bugs' superpowers come from a scientist's super carrots, though Bugs has to recharge every now and again by eating another carrot.
• The Real Heroes: According to the ending, it's the Marines fighting in World War II.
  Bugs: This looks like a job for a real superman!
• Riddle for the Ages: Just how did a horse wind up walking high up in the sky in the first place?
• Semper Fi: At the end, Bugs becomes a member of the Marines and heads off to fight in World War II. A notable thing here is that the Marines genuinely drafted Bugs Bunny as an honorary Marine private. The character was regularly promoted until Bugs was officially "honorably discharged" at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.
• Shooting Superman: Bugs actually lets Cottontail Smith shoot him with a machine gun, but all the bullets are stopped by his body, forming a perfect silhouette before dropping to the ground.
• Superman Substitute: Bugs as Super-Rabbit, naturally.
• Wartime Cartoon: The ending, with Bugs joining the Marines to fight the good fight in World War II.
• Whole-Plot Reference: The short is Jones' jab at the Fleischer/Famous Superman theatrical cartoons. Ironically, Superman became a WB property when the Kinney National Company bought DC Comics in 1967, then what was then Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1969. Despite all entries in the Superman cartoon series going into the public domain by 1972, they technically represented the earliest color theatrical cartoons under WB ownership until 1996, as WB had sold their own color cartoons from prior to August 1948 (including Super-Rabbit) to Associated Artists Productions in 1956 (these cartoons were owned by United Artists at the time WB and DC became sister companies).
