History WesternAnimation / BATMANTheBraveAndTheBold

* FiveFiveFive -0129 is Catwoman's phone number.

* HollywoodDressCode: Red Tornado's alter-ego, Professor Ulthoon, in bow tie and tweed jacket with elbow patches.

* {{Fainting}}: In the cold open of "Enter the Outsiders!", a bystander faints at the sight of Bwana Beast's TwoBeingsOneBody powers in action.

* FoeYay: Barry Allen's RoguesGallery seem to all harbor a platonic version; they consider Kid Flash a weak substitute, and when the real deal returns, they're practically falling over themselves in excitement.

* {{Mondegreen}}: In "Cry Freedom Fighters", Plastic Man rallies the heroes and oppressed masses with a mangled version of "Yankee Doodle".

** It wasn't explained how, but Blue Bowman quickly figured out that something is wrong with "Owlman" (Batman in disguise) after Batman infiltrates the Crime Syndicate. Also a lowkey SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, Batman never spent much time to study Owlman's mannerism and personality, and therefore associates who worked closely with Owlman would easily find something amiss with his impersonator.

** The {{elseworld}} Batmen include among their number a {{pirate}} Batman, a {{vampire|tropes}} Batman and an [[PoweredArmor Iron Batman]] (the normal ''Brave and the Bold'' Batman is already a ninja). There are also a cowboy Batman and a [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys gorilla]] Batman, because apparently ''that wasn't awesome enough''.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Riding Dinosaurs]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot with Harpoon Guns Stealing a Boat]]: Gorilla Grodd and Dinosaur Island; [[RuleOfCool In the Same Episode!]]

** This show's interpretation of the Red Hood is a composite of the original Red Hood (who in some continuities was the identity the Joker used prior to falling into the vat of chemicals that transformed him into the Clown Prince of Crime we know and love) and the Jokester's (the Joker's heroic counterpart from the Crime Syndicate's universe).

** [[spoiler:Orm]]'s punishment for his actions is to listen to AQUAMAN read from his memoirs. Given how much he hates AQUAMAN's "inane adventure stories", it's actually [[Irony quite fitting]].

* AdaptationalNameChange: Recurring Blue Beetle villains the Madmen are renamed the Madniks in this show.

** ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} is one, no pun intended given his nature. The show uses Jason Rusch as the main body, but the show's version of Rusch also made him similar to Martin Stein in that he's interested in science. And filling Stein's role as a mentor? An older version of Ronnie Raymond, who in the comics was the original Firestorm. Note how this kind of twists around the original Firestorm's dynamic ''twice''.

** Inverted with Firestorm. In the comics, Comicbook/{{Firestorm}} was a teenager named Ronnie Raymond who got his powers in a nuclear accident. In 2004, Ronnie was killed off and replaced by a new character named Jason Rusch. The cartoon uses the best of both worlds by having both Ron and Jason present at the same accident, which fuses them together so they BOTH act as Firestorm.

** In the final episode "Mitefall", Bat-Mite mentions that a sure fire way to run a show off the air is to bring in Creator/TedMcGinley. So he brings in Creator/TedMcGinley.

* AlphabetArchitecture: In the episode "Emperor Joker", a near omnipotent Joker reshapes some buildings in Gotham City to spell "The Joker" during his VillainSong.
* AluminumChristmasTrees: In "Mitefall", when Bat-Mite is trying to make the show more [[MerchandiseDriven toyetic]] in an effort to get it canceled, he gives Batman a talking hoversled with flame decals and matching outfit. There actually was a toy like this (it didn't talk, though), from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', of all places.

* AnachronismStew: "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!" has for the Franchise/ScoobyDoo crossover the Scooby Gang of the "New Scooby Doo Movies" (circa 1972-1974), with the action of the 60s Batman series (Batman and Robin punching the Joker and Penguin, with Scooby and Shaggy getting a magical courage boost and joining in), and "Weird Al" Yankovic with his looks since the late 90's (until then, Al usually had his mustache on). All of this was due to Bat-Mite using his reality-warping powers.

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:AQUAMAN briefly in Mitefall when [[ItMakesSenseInContext his voice actor quits until a new one comes in.]]]]

** The show's final episode "Mitefall" has its plot hinge on the fact that it was the end of the series. Bat-Mite tries to retool the show until it gets cancelled in order to make room for a darker Batman show, with Batman and Ambush Bug doing everything they can to prevent the current show's cancellation. While Bat-Mite succeeds in getting ''Batman: The Brave and The Bold'' cancelled, the episode ends with a wrap party attended by many of the show's characters and Batman assuring the audience that he'll always be around to continue fighting crime no matter what happens.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Bats gains a few vital seconds asking [[spoiler:a power hungry Superman]] what his parents would think of his actions.

** Invoked in "Mitefall" when Bat-Mite replaces Creator/JohnDiMaggio with Creator/TedMcGinley as the voice of AQUAMAN to get the show cancelled. Towards the end, Ambush Bug tricks AQUAMAN into [[OutOfCharacterMoment breaking character]], resulting in him getting [=DiMaggio's=] voice back.

* TakeThat: One of the ways Bat-Mite tries to get the show cancelled in "Mitefall" is by replacing AQUAMAN's normal voice actor with Creator/TedMcGinley.

** ComicBook/CaptainAtom in ''Powerless'', especially when compared to his comic book counterpart.
** The Golden Age Justice Society of America heroes towards the Justice League International Heroes in ''Crisis: 22,300 Miles Above the Earth!'' True, most of them were shown to be grumpy and cantankerous beforehand, but in the case of Jay Garrick, the original Flash, it's very jarring. Fortunately they apologize when the episode ends.

* TheOneWith Batman teaming up with that other guy!

* FreudianExcuse: Played straight in "Inside the Outsiders!" with Katana, but then utterly demolished in the next scene: instead of a deep core of emotional trauma, [[RealityEnsues Black Lightning is mostly just ]][[RantInducingSlight annoyed at yuppies, people who don't clean up after their pets]], things that [[TastesLikeDiabetes Taste Like Diabetes]], etc.

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:Aquaman briefly in Mitefall when [[ItMakesSenseInContext his voice actor quits until a new one comes in.]]]]

* LargeHam: AQUAMAN. Good lord, ''AQUAMAN''!

* MegaMicrobes: In "Journey to the Center of the Bat!", Batman is stricken down by a disease during a fight with Chemo (who is being controlled by Brain), and the Atom must miniaturize himself and travel with Aquaman into the Caped Crusader's body to cure him. During their journey, they are are attacked by viruses, and Aquaman telepathically summons a lymphocyte, which he names "Platelet", that he uses as a mount.

** Used: to mirror the above event, Owlman gathering the main universe villains for Part II.

** Though it was really a recording, so this might not count.

* LimelightSeries: The Joker has appeared in one 2-part episode while characters like Red Tornado, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow and '''''AQUAMAN''''' are the series regulars.
** He gets more.

* LandmarkingTheHiddenBase: In "Darksied Descending!", it is revealed that Batman has an auxilary Batcave located under the Lincoln Memorial.

** Kru'll the Eternal is an Expy of both ComicBook/VandalSavage and the ComicBook/{{Shazam}} foe King Kull, with a hint of Darkseid's son Kalibak.

** The Season 3 premier, "The Battle of the Superheroes!" contained many of the examples of SuperDickery.
