History BunnyEarsLawyer / ComicBooks

* Alexander Glushko of ''ComicBook/TopTen'' is a darker take on the trope, since his bunny-ears are rampant alcoholism. However, since he is the only telepath the Neopolis PD has access to, they're willing to overlook him being black-out drunk on the job as long as he is capable of telling interrogators what suspects are thinking.

* GaiusJuliusCaesar in ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' is irritatingly [[ThirdPersonPerson pretentious]], has various odd traits and is weirdly fixated on conquering a tiny piece of valueless territory belonging to a bunch of losers and madmen, who he is nonetheless FriendlyEnemies with. He's also one of the greatest military leaders ever to live and by far the cleverest, noblest Roman we're ever introduced to. Cleopatra was also like this - an excellent queen but also a materialistic spoiled brat who eats disgusting food - but she [[SilkHidingSteel mellows out as the series progresses]].

* James from ''BowlingKing'' is a former champion bowler with incredibly formidable skills. Not that his protege Shautieh could tell after spending an entire morning of shopping with him; all James seems to care about is his wife, and he rarely focuses on what he's actually supposed to be doing... but he still manages to see patterns and method to Shautieh's approach that even he wasn't aware of before.

* Peter Parker is probably similar, and likely wouldn't have a job at the Bugle at all were it not for his ability to nab so many photos of ''{{Spider-Man}}''. Though for a lot of his career, Peter was freelance.

* SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} could very easily fit into this category as, despite his blatant insanity, tendency to annoy others and, occasionally, sheer stupidity he is frequently hired as he's just too good at his job.

* Raptor in ''GIJoe'' comics. Cobra's ''accountant'', he's a [[MadScientist Mad FALCONER]] who dresses like a bird at all times and is regarded as a complete nutjob even by other Cobra operatives and Cobra Commander himself. On the other hand... he's an okay accountant and nobody else would work for Cobra.

* Arthur on ''TheTick'' is a perfectly normal everyday human and an experienced chartered accountant in an accountancy firm... Who also wears a full-body moth suit. Even to work. In an aversion, this gets him fired in all continuities.

* Famed reporter Clark Kent, aka {{Superman}}, has a horrible attendance problem. Tolerated, because he brings in the good stories anyway, and one of the reasons Clark chose 'reporter' as a job in the first place was flexible hours. It doesn't hurt that Clark happens to be the fastest typist on staff.

* Jughead Jones of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' fame is sometimes portrayed as this, though it [[DependingOnTheWriter Depends On The Writer]]. One issue even had Mr. Weatherbee and Ms. Grundy ''furious'' at the revelation that Jughead was getting straight-As despite being such an oddball and slacker, and utterly refused to believe it was due to anything other than cheating until he aced a pop quiz.

* SheHulk is sometimes a literal case. (And often works for a Bunny-Eared ''Law Firm''.)
* {{Deadpool}} could very easily fit into this category as, despite his blatant insanity, tendency to annoy others and, occasionally, sheer stupidity he is frequently hired as he's just too good at his job.

* The Bunny Ears ''Sheepdog'' of ''FootrotFlats'', [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep 'The Dog']], is a [[TheVoiceless Voiceless]] IntellectualAnimal whose exploits are legendary, but is generally capable at bringing in the sheep and cattle.

** In one story, Superman assumes the identity of Johnny Clark, a firefighter. His taciturn standoffish nature is tolerated by the Metropolis Fire Brigade because he's just that good at saving people. ([[CaptainObvious But then, why wouldn't he be?]]) The fact that this new identity allows him to help people 24/7 could also mean the Johnny Clark persona is a Bunny Ears Lawyer for Superman as well.

* ''[[ComicBook/DarkReign Dark Reign: Made Men]]'' is a one-shot made up entirely of stories about NormanOsborn and HAMMER making deals with guys like this. Bringing them back to life, getting them out of prison, that sort of thing. Spymaster is a peerless industrial spy and thief... and a con artist who is practically afraid of truth. Attuma is a fearsome and powerful warrior... and a rage case who doesn't understand anything but conflict. The Gamma Corps are an elite fighting squadron of Gamma-enhanced soldiers... and extremely misguided crusaders with a warped sense of justice.

* In PaperinikNewAdventures there is an actual lawyer,Eugene Photomas,that constantly forgets dates,places and names(even [[UpToEleven his own]],at one point). However when he is in a courtroom his competence switch is flipped, to the point to be considered one of the best lawyers of XXIII century.

* ''{{Transmetropolitan}}'''s Spider Jerusalem is a drug addict, a sociopath, a pervert, a world class cynic who despises his own audience...and a damn fine journalist.

* ''BlueBeetle'': Ted Kord is an immature nerd who never stops telling stupid jokes, dresses like a kid's show host, has a disorganized lab and a congenital heart defect. He's also a technological genius, expert fighter and detective who uncovered a conspiracy even Batman missed and [[spoiler:died trying to stop it.]]

However, since he is the only telepath the Neopolis PD has access to, they're willing to overlook him being black-out drunk on the job as long as he is capable of teliing interrogators what suspects are thinking.

--> '''Mr. Weatherbee''' Let's just face facts. His mind is a steel trap. Whatever he hears ne never forgets; he just files it away until it's needed. He's a sloppy, unkempt, irritating genius.

* As various deconstructions and parodies have shown, virtually all superheroes are Bunny Ears Lawyers (more so during TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks). Seriously, dressing up in bright colors and knocking people around can only be accepted when you're really good at what you do.

* GaiusJuliusCaesar in ''{{Asterix}}'' is irritatingly [[ThirdPersonPerson pretentious]], has various odd traits and is weirdly fixated on conquering a tiny piece of valueless territory belonging to a bunch of losers and madmen, who he is nonetheless FriendlyEnemies with. He's also one of the greatest military leaders ever to live and by far the cleverest, noblest Roman we're ever introduced to. Cleopatra was also like this - an excellent queen but also a materialistic spoiled brat who eats disgusting food - but she [[SilkHidingSteel mellows out as the series progresses]].

** Even Spidey himself is a Bunny Ears Lawyer amongst the superheroes. He's known as being goofy and weird on top of being a Huge [[MotorMouth Smart Ass]] but most heroes consider him a brave and valuable asset amongst the numerous street levelers, being the Main Hero of New York Streets helps also he's a lot smarter and possibly the most teamed up hero in the Marvel U that is a Mid Carder.

** Professor Calculus was actually the latest in a list of kooky scientists, who apparently held considerable respect in their fields despite their silly behavior (key of which has to Professor Phostle, who discovers a meteorite is apparently going to smash into Earth and can only think of the fame he'll get as its discoverer). He was such a BunnyEarsLawyer, however, that he [[BreakoutCharacter broke out]] and [[RecurringCharacter became a regular part of the cast]].

* Most of the [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Green Lanterns]] from Earth fall under this trope. Hal Jordan despite being impulsive and having a habit of being reckless is an AcePilot and can even [[BeyondTheImpossible override his ring's programming]]. Guy Gardner is [[SmugSuper arrogant]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a jerk]], and [[CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority known for arguing with his bosses]], yet he is on the Green Lantern Honor Guard. John Stewart has some pretty heavy [[TheLostLenore emotional baggage]], that doesn't stop him from being [[ColdSniper a crackshot]] and [[TheStoic taking ring slinging very seriously]]. Kyle Rayner may have lead to the naming of StuffedIntoTheFridge and his [[DisposableWoman other relationships havn't faired much better]] but he's also considered the most creative of Earth's four Lanterns, and is [[TheChosenOne the guy who was chosen out of every being in the universe to be its protector.]]
