To be fair, when referencing the Laughing Fish story, Bat-Mite was not referring to the cartoon version. He was referencing Detective Comics #475 (which did not feature Harley Quinn). This is evidenced by Bat-Mite floating by a recreation of that comic\'s cover.


** This is especially jarring as in the same episode he briefly waxes nostalgia over the BatmanTheAnimatedSeries episode "The Laughing Fish" which Harley Quinn was featured in.

* The wierd visuals like the multiple AQUAMANs and sudden scene changes during AQUAMAN's Rousing Song of Heroism may seem like just another AcidTripSequence, but remember that he and Captain Atom are in what is effectively the JLI version of the Danger Room. It wouldn't be that unusual for this series, or out of character for AQUAMAN to have pre-programmed a musical number into the hologram generator just in case he had a chance to go full-on ham with a RousingSpeach.

He ever insults his pupils no matter if they do well or bad, claims they kneel him like an attention whore... no wonder if only ONE of FIVE students completed his training... also just because "the plot demand it".

* In "Emperor Joker," when Batman decides the best method of defeating the Joker's neigh ompnipotent powers is to use his mind, it seems a bit odd at first until you realize Batmite's first appearance in the series has him being defeated by the fact that his own imagination was running away with itself, despite the fact that he could use his powers to get himself out of a jam, Batmite didn't and was even shown later to be struggling to use them to set things right. If BTBaTB Batmite follows the same logic as Batmite in the comics with his powers being controlled by a part of his brain, it's possible that Mind truly is stronger than magic, as a mind overrun by panic or fear can't use the 5th dimensional abilities, Joker wasn't in any danger at first in Batman's mind, and allowed himself to give into fear when Batman suggested he would be completely sane.

** Also regarding the Music Meister: his appearance is very similar to the Music ''Master'', from the ''JusticeLeague'' two-parter "Legends". He was part of the Injustice Guild, the evil counterpart to the Justice Guild, which was the alternate-universe Justice League with characters slightly different to their "real" DCAU counterparts- Catman instead of Batman, Black Siren instead of Black Canary, and so on. It therefore makes perfect sense that the same villain in Batman's universe would be called the Music ''Meister'' instead. The Music Master also had a European accent (I'm not entirely sure which country it was), so swapping his accent to American and the name to German might have been a further play on the universe-switch theme. -- {{Tropers/Eruvadhril}}

* Am I the only one who realized just how dangerous TheMusicMeister from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' is?! Now, don't get me wrong, the episode was a delight, but hear me out. Throughout the episode, he took control of people just by SINGING. By doing a musical number through Gotham, WHILE RUNNING FROM THE BATMAN, he turned the entire city into his slaves. Heck, in the opening, if Batman hadn't stopped them, the three heroes and three villains he had control of, who he had control of even before he first APPEARED, would have done a kickline right into a rocketblast at Music Meister's orders. Even with Batman's PlotDevice earplugs in them, {{ComicBook/AQUAMAN}}, GreenArrow, and ComicBook/BlackCanary were STILL singing, which implies that his voice isn't just hypnotic, but [[TheVirus viral!]] [[spoiler: He was literally just one person away from ruling the entire world at the end...]]
