Bugs meets the superheroes

Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes is a late 1970s stage show and a crossover featuring the Looney Tunes characters and the DC Comics superheroes (specifically Batman and Robin and Wonder Woman).

The first in a series of Bugs Bunny Follies touring stage shows, the plot involves the Looney Tunes gang throwing a surprise birthday party for Porky Pig. Antics include Sylvester trying to incorporate Tweety into the cake recipe, Wile E. Coyote failing once again to catch the Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam having a shooting contest, a Mexican-themed number from Speedy Gonzales, and Daffy Duck bringing in dancing girls for the party. A human host attempts to make the show interactive, such as cueing the kids in the audience to say "Surprise!" when Porky enters, and to shout whether the characters playing "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" are hot or cold. The core Batman villains (the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Cat Woman) freeze the Dynamic Duo and start messing up the party, but Wonder Woman saves the day with the aid of the Tasmanian Devil.

A few more shows followed up, such as Bugs Bunny in Space and Bugs Bunny's Sports Spectacular.
