Dark Bunny is a superhero who stars in an animated television series.
Biography[]
Dark Bunny lives in Futuropolis under the name Deuce Dwayne (though his name is also stated to be "Sue"[1]).
Dark Bunny is originally said to be Bionic Bunny's cousin[2], though another episode claims that they are actually twin brothers who were separated at birth.[3] Dark Bunny was stolen by an evil witch, and Bionic Bunny was taken in by a giant robot.
According to "Arthur Read: Super Saver", Dark Bunny has a sidekick named Carrot Kid, though he is only ever seen as an action figure.
Although the Dark Bunny show did not start until "That's a Baby Show!," the episode "Double Dare" reveals that the superhero poster in the tree house (which has been there since Season 1) is of Dark Bunny.

Cultural references[]
- Dark Bunny is a parody of the DC Comics superhero, Batman, similar to Bionic Bunny being a parody of Superman. Additionally, Dark City is a parody of Batman's hometown of Gotham City. Likewise, some of the members of his rogues gallery resemble those of Batman's.
- With its comical villains, Dark Bunny is particularly similar to the Batman series from the 1960s. "The Feud" even has a fight with onomatopoeia like "Plaf!" appearing on the screen. Arthur also references the 60s show in other contexts. "Pick a Car, Any Car" uses the names of actors (Romero, Gorshin and Meredith), while "Mr. Ratburn's Secret Identity" mentions a rat phone.
- Another possible inspiration is Batman: The Animated Series.
- His civilian identity, Deuce Dwayne, is a parody of Batman's true identity, Bruce Wayne.
- The Dark Buggy looks similar to the Batmobile.
- His sidekick Carrot Kid looks similar to Batman's sidekick Robin.
