2	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE50OffBalance Off Balance]]", Batman asks Talia whose side she is on. "That would be telling" she replies. Almost every episode of ''Series/ThePrisoner1967'' started with that dialogue.
3	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE3NothingToFear Nothing to Fear]]" the security guard in the beginning is reading a comic book called ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.

5	** In a later episode, "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE10TorchSong Torch Song]]", Bruce is discussing a ongoing case with Barbara Gordon. When he asks, "What are you doing tonight?" she replies, [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain "The same thing we do every night, Pinky."]] He does not get the reference.
6	* At the start of "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE41JokersWild Joker's Wild]]", the Joker is whistling the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes theme.
7	** Not two minutes later, he busts out a Beaky Buzzard impression.

10	* Two-Face's suit is a rather obvious reference to the famous ''Film/Scarface1983'' poster.
11	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE11TwoFacePart2 Two-Face: Part 2]]", while robbing one of Rupert Thorn's fronts, Two-Face says "[[Series/TheOuterLimits1963 Do not attempt to adjust the picture, I'm in control!]]"

14	* In "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE23BewareTheCreeper Beware the Creeper]]", not only does the Creeper look similar to and act just like WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}, but he talks to a woman through her window and when she screams and runs...

17	* [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Cybertron]] Industries appears in "Heart of Steel".
18	** Karl Rossum, the owner of Cybertron Industries and one of the pioneers in A.I. research and robotics, is named for Capek's play ''Theatre/{{RUR}}'' (for ''Rossum's Universal Robots''), the origin of the term "robot."
19	** In addition, Karl Rossum is voiced by Creator/WilliamSanderson in a clear nod to his role on ''Film/BladeRunner'', with HARDAC's robot replacements being very similar to Replicants.
20	* Poison Ivy's license plate in "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE56HarleyAndIvy Harley and Ivy]]" is "[[Film/CitizenKane Rosebud]]".
21	** And a few seconds after that Ivy tells Harley, "[[{{Film/Casablanca}} This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship]]."
22	* "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE33RobinsReckoningPart2 Robin's Reckoning: Part 2]]" has a shout out to ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' when Dick strikes a similar pose to Kaneda on his bike.
23	* At the end of "Joker’s Wild", the inmates in Arkham are watching ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny'' cartoons.
24	* To ''WesternAnimation/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown'', where one thing Sally said to Linus in the pumpkin patch was, "If you try to hold my hand, I'll slug you!"; near the beginning of "Joker's Wild", in the lounge at Arkham Asylum, Joker cozies up next to Poison Ivy, and teasingly says, "If you hold my hand, I'll ''slug'' you!"
25	* The poster for the magician [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} The Great Prosciutto]] in "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE9BeAClown Be a Clown]]" is a cartoonified portrait of Creator/AlanMoore.
26	* Anthony Romulus from “[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE43MoonOfTheWolf Moon of the Wolf]]“ has eyebrows that meet in the middle which, according to ''Film/TheCompanyOfWolves'', is a sign that a person may well be a werewolf.

30	* "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE16HarleysHoliday Harley's Holiday]]", Harley Quinn, upon returning to Arkham, says the line, "Home again, home again, jiggity jig." It's a reference to the scene where one of the toys says the same line when J.F. Sebastian comes home with a woman in ''Film/BladeRunner''.
31	* In [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE25TheClockKing "The Clock King"]], the streets have the names from various comics and animation artist who worked at Batman: Keith Weesner, Jack Schiff, Jerry Robinson, Norm Breygfole, Alex Toth, and Kurt Busiek.

33	* The [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090729221039/dcanimated/images/b/b3/Riddlers_Reform-Title_Card.png title card]] for "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE14RiddlersReform Riddler's Reform]]" bears a resemblance to a famous [[http://ifanboy.com/articles/great-pages-the-amazing-spider-man-50/ page]] in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1963'' #50.
34	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE41JokersWild Joker's Wild]]", Batman exclaims [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail "Camelot" when he encounters the model]] detailing the original theme of Kaiser's casino.
35	* In "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE7Harlequinade Harlequinade]]", when Harley does her impromptu musical number she instructs the orchestra that she will be singing in the key of A flat, as Lina does for her impromptu musical number at the end of ''Film/SinginInTheRain'' (and in very nearly the same nasal voice).
36	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE2ChristmasWithTheJoker Christmas with the Joker]]", the taxidermy horse that "pulls" the Joker's sleigh in his pirate TV broadcast has [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas a single trimmed tree branch tied to its forehead with string]] to pass it off as a "reindeer". Joker also knocks over [[WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas a pathetic-looking bare-branched little Christmas tree]].
37	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE44DayOfTheSamurai Day of the Samurai]]", the antagonist's hideout is at 563 [[Creator/OsamuTezuka Tezuka]].
38	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE51TheManWhoKilledBatman The Man Who Killed Batman]]", the Joker's eulogy for the presumed dead Batman starts thusly:

40	* In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE40IfYoureSoSmartWhyArentYouRich If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?]]" Batman immediately deduces the Riddler's reference to a lyric from the ''{{Theatre/Oklahoma}}'' song "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'." Robin [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure fails]] to get the reference to "corn as high as an elephant's eye," and Batman has to explain it to him.
