Erg. Tricky to say. Part of the thing that makes the original WB characters work is their... familiarity, we know the personalities, catch-phrases, habits. That's what makes their stories fun, when we see how they'll pull their schtick in new situations.
This cartoon looks like it's seriously re-defining the characters (and voices). A bit similar to anime series where they'll just scoop up old characters and thrust them into a new cartoon with little or no continuity. It could work. It could bomb. It's just that the superhero Bugs wouldn't be the same as the classic Bugs, is all. (Except by name and whatever gags they decide to keep.)
The other thing I wonder about is the level of cartoon reality... will these guys be obeying superhero laws of physics (Justice League, etc.), or toon laws of physics, dropping anvils and things out of nowhere? If the former, then there's not much left to distinguish these guys from their original counterparts, which might mean the studio is hoping to draw on their notoriety as the main selling point.
