It's kinda interesting how people never really use Bugs Bunny to represent WB as a corporation the same way people use Mickey Mouse. I feel there's 3 possible explanations for this:
- Bugs and his IP holders already have edge and maturity, turning him into an evil mastermind isn't shocking like it is for the modern Mickey
- Bugs' cartoons are both more easily accessible and more beloved than Mickey's, and therefore people who want to comment on corporate situations would be too attached to Bugs to interpret him as an icon of a corporation's downfall or mistakes
- Warner Bros. don't use Bugs as a mascot as often as Disney uses Mickey, nor are they as fiercly protective of him and therefore he isn't universally readable as representing Warner Bros. and using him to criticise them doesn't feel like "sticking it to the man" as much as shallow parody.
