History ShoutOut / BATMANTheBraveAndTheBold

* Batman testing [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]] in a [[VirtualTrainingSimulation virtual training room]] may be a nod to the [[DeadlyTrainingArea Danger Room]] from ''ComicBook/XMen''.

* Arguably the very first ShoutOut is the Plastino Cat Snacks in reference to Al Plastino, who drew the syndicated Batman comic strip during UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks. And the cat looks just like [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Streaky the Supercat]].

* The ComicBook/DoctorFate-themed episode "The Fate of Equinox" features an art style reminiscent of Creator/SteveDitko. This is almost certainly a nod to Comicbook/DoctorStrange, Doctor Fate's AlternateCompanyEquivalent from Creator/MarvelComics.

[[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} Awesome Threesome]]

* The "Batman doesn't eat nachos!" line in "A Bat Divided!" definitely seems to be a reference to one of the nitpicks fans made about an early episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', which showed Bruce eating nachos in the Batcave. Not to mention, the cheese sauce Slacker!Batman pours on his nachos has a picture of [[Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Little Cheese]] on it.

* The iconic Hindu poster from ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' (most prominently seen in the "Fearful Symmetry" chapter) is very briefly shown in the Doom Patrol episode.

* Aquaman's Rousing Song Of Heroism mentions [[Franchise/SpiderMan wallcrawling]] among the many superpowers possible. The guy he's dressed as is the Tarantula, a Golden Age hero retconned into a Spidey knockoff in Roy Thomas' ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron''.

* In "Emperor Joker" Bat-mite in Fourth-Wall Breaking fashion, brings up The BTAS episode, The Laughing Fish. And the comic ''Comicbook/ADeathInTheFamily'' even saying that he voted in whether Jason Todd would live or die. (He wouldn't say which he chose) this being the first time Jason Todd was name-dropped in a Batman cartoon.

** In the same episode, Earth-161 is a zombie Earth, a sideways reference to the MarvelUniverse (Earth-616) and ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies''.

** The episode also has a shout-out to previous DCAU cartoons: the bomb-doll that Fun Haus throws at Batman and Red Tornado is Baby Dahl from WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.

** That's NOT all -- Bat-Mite also gives a shout-out to ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'', wiggling his nose to disappear at the fade-out. Earlier, to transform into Batman, he crosses his arms and nods his head ''a la'' Series/IDreamOfJeannie. Paul Dini also wrote the admitted ''Bewitched'' homage episode "This Little Piggy" for ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''.
** Bat-Mite's description of Batman as a tortured avenger "crying for mommy and daddy" is an IronicEcho of one of The Joker's darkest lines in WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker used to emphasize the differences between the Brave and the Bold version and the Animated Series version of the character.

** The aerial view of them marching single-file down a street is a lot like ''Film/SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow'' (which is itself a ShoutOut to the Fleischer Studios WesternAnimation/SupermanTheatricalCartoons episode "The Mechanical Monsters").

* The same episode has what is arguably a VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse reference as Zoom and Allen fight each other in free fall, each attempting to turn the other into the fall in the same way Free Fall Combat worked in that game.
* While the Harley Quinn in "Emperor Joker" looks more like a RoaringTwenties flapper (she is probably based on silent comedienne Creator/MabelNormand), when Joker puts Bat-Mite into a Jester outfit, it's the Jester outfit the classic Harley wore in her original WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries appearance.

** Joker and the Weeper teamed up once before, in Justice League of America v1 #136.
** Commissioner Gordon and [[OfficerOHara Chief O’Hara]] from TheSixties [[Series/Batman1966 Batman TV Show]] make a [[TheCameo cameo]] unveiling Batman’s crime detecting device. [[PoliceAreUseless This truly reflects their importance in that series.]]

** The sound effect of Wonder Woman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyKXBxK82LE tiara used as boomerang]] is almost the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EykZgkC8l58 same]] as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qahSU4RYblY the one]] that appears in Wonder Woman's [[Series/WonderWoman 70's tv series]]. They also use the series' theme song.

** Bruce Timm and Paul Dini (creators of the Franchise/{{DCAU}}) are also present at the convention, in costume as the Joker and Harley Quinn (well, Harley WAS Dini's creation!) respectively. For added humor, Dini actually ''wrote this episode''.

** The aerial view of them marching single-file down a street is a lot like ''Film/SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow''.

** The episode also contains blatant visual references to ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatPiggyBankRobbery'', one of the most popular Daffy Duck cartoons ever made.

* After coming back up from being electrocuted by ComicBook/BlackLightning, Wildcat tells Batman that it'll take a lot more than "a little WesternAnimation/StaticShock" to get rid of him.

* In "Powerless", the setup for Captain Atom's Public Service Announcement is taken straight from ''GIJoe''.

** The ending references ''Film/SomeLikeItHot''. You can guess which scene.

* The ending of "Night of the Batmen!" has several AlternateUniverse Batmen show up to help - including [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Animated]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis]], WesternAnimation/TheBatman, and [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga Nolan/Bale-verse Bats]].

* "Invasion of the Secret Santas!" had shout outs to ''A Charlie Brown Christmas'', ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians'', ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' and [[Series/{{Batman}} the old 1960s Batman]] TV series. There's also subtle reference to ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' when Fun Haus mentions a Robot Santa being scary.

* ComicBook/GreenArrow's sidekick Speedy seems to be based on Burt Ward's portrayal of ComicBook/{{Robin}} from the [[Series/{{Batman}} 60's show]], from his general gee-whiz attitude to lines like "Holy involuntary acrobatics!".

* "Game Over for Owlman!": [[Film/{{Batman}} "Stop."]]

** Commissioner Gordon and [[OfficerOHara Chief O’Hara]] from TheSixties [[Series/{{Batman}} Batman TV Show]] make a [[TheCameo cameo]] unveiling Batman’s crime detecting device. [[PoliceAreUseless This truly reflects their importance in that series.]]
