History Awesome / BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

*** And just for a voice actor hat trick, who did they get to voice Phantom Stranger and Spectre? None other than Creator/KevinConroy and Creator/MarkHamill, respectively. That’s right, the ''definitive'' animated Batman and Joker are here to play GoodAngelBadAngel to this show’s Batman.

** In the same episode, after Dr. Sivana steals the power of Black Adam, Batman tries to attack him, but it didn't work and, while Dr. Sivana is bragging about his powers, Batman said that he was a powerful champion but would never be as strong as the wizard ''Shamaz.'' The superpowered Dr. Sivana ammends him, saying "It's SHAZAM!" Guess what happens?

** A meta example of this is Diedrich Bader's acting in this scene.

* Detective Chimp is generally pretty awesome in this show, but in "Gorillas in Our Midst" he routinely beats up SCORES of gorillas that are four times as big as him. But the moment that made this troper's jaw drop was when he punched an oncoming gorilla in the guy and LAUNCHED HIM OVER HIS HEAD. Then there's the end of the episode, when Batman gets turned into a [=BatGriffon=].

* The end of "Day of the Dark Knight!" Batman and Green Arrow are facing down Morgan Le Fey, who has ScaledUp into a dragon form in an attempt to fry them before the "one who is worthy" can draw Excalibur. The two of them [[NoManOfWomanBorn work together to draw Excalibur]] and Batman passes Excalibur to Green Arrow, who ''fires it like an arrow at Morgan!'' And it ''works!''

-->'''Black Canary''' ''(looking to Huntress after a well-placed arrow removes the gag from her mouth )''. Nice Shot! ''(smirks)'' My turn! ''(destroys shark tank with her Canary Cry)''.
* Another for Bats in "Emperor Joker." After Joker has become a RealityWarper and killed him over and over again, he begs Joker [[ReversePsychology not to take his sanity]]. Joker promptly screws open Batman's head, crawls into his mindscape, prepares to toss some important-looking documents about...and gets stopped by a voice out of nowhere: Batman himself. Batman explains how disciplined his mind is, and segues it into a speech about how Joker needs Batman in order to exist. This is punctuated by Joker entering a world without Batman, and turning into an ordinary businessman. Joker willingly surrenders his omnipotence in return for his [[MadHatter characterizing madness]].

* "Darkseid Descending." The big bad king of Apokolips finally comes to Earth and does not disappoint. He effortlessly [[NoSell No Sells]] a combined attack from the Justice League International, and thoroughly trounces Batman. It's only through The Question's actions that the invasion is thwarted.
* In "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!", we get the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' crossover. Bat-Mite {{lampshade|Hanging}}s the fact that due to ExecutiveMeddling, Batman couldn't throw a punch back then...and then says that his RealityWarper powers render the whole thing moot, and gives Batman, Robin, Joker, and Penguin the ability to actually fight each other. And then he does the same to [[LovableCoward Shaggy and Scooby]], who proceed to pound the stuffing out of Joker and Penguin. And who gets to KO the Joker? Music/WeirdAlYankovic. WITH AN ACCORDION.

** Not to mention the clever ruse they put on Lex Luthor near the end of the episode. As they confront him, Lex blasts Batman with a raygun, and pulls a Green Kryptonite ring on Superman. And then Superman grins, grabs the ring, and puts it in a box. Turns out that the two of them ''switched costumes'', so "Batman", AKA Superman, is just fine after the raygun blast, and "Superman", AKA Batman, was immune to the Kryptonite. Not to say Krypto's role in the fight wasn't awesome. He gets thrown into space and comes down, using the heat of re-entry to send Superman flying.

** The episode is about Aquaman, Green Arrow, Captain Marvel, and Plastic Man teaming up to act as Batman after he's critically injured. They all struggle to take out individual, non-powered villains that batman usually faces. Batman would, of course, have no trouble taking them all out himself. They all have one dominant thought on their minds: "How does Batman do it ''alone?''"

* Franchise/WonderWoman's [[DynamicEntry entrance]] in the teaser to "Scorn of the Star Sapphire!" scored to the theme to the [[Series/WonderWoman1975 70s show]]. The preview is only a minute long but the wait was worth it.

---> Jaime: "We're the Blue Beetle!"

* The end of the first part of the two-part alternate universe story, where Red Hood [[spoiler:blows Silver Cyclone's (robotic) head off]] ''in the middle of his dramatic evil monologue!''
** From the same episode and character (though much more low-key) the flashback of Red Hood's origin story where he destroys the mirror. With that one act, he overcame what his counterpart [[spoiler:the Joker]] never could, and became more than he could ever hope to be.

* In the same episode, Silver Cyclone [[spoiler:figures out Red Hood's code by simple statistical analysis. Then he promptly tries to kill Batman]].

* Batman, Aquaman and Adam Strange stop a solar-powered superweapon from devastating Rann by [[spoiler:''using a zeta beam to transport Earth's moon 25 trillion miles'' and create an eclipse before beaming it right back to prevent the planet from cracking apart]]!
** A slightly smaller one is [[spoiler:Aquaman's HesBack moment]].

** In the same episode, [[spoiler: after Dr. Sivana steals the power of Black Adam, Batman tries to attack him, but it didn't work and, while Dr. Sivana is bragging about his powers, Batman said that he was a powerful champion but would never be as strong as the wizard ''Shamaz.'' The superpowered Dr. Sivana ammends him, saying "It's SHAZAM!" Guess what happens?]]
** Which is also a shout-out to Black Adam's first (and intended as last) appearance in the comics. Captain Marvel's ''non-superpowered uncle'' takes the Batman role, [[spoiler: tricking Black Adam into saying "Shazam" and destroying himself, as his human body was too ancient to survive. However, Black Adam either got better or [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths that never happened]] [[ContinuitySnarl anymore]]]].
* Firestorm lifting up Captain Marvel so that he can defeat [[spoiler: Starro]] with his magic lightning, possibly a homage to Kingdom Come.

* "Darkseid Descending." The big bad king of Apokolips finally comes to Earth and does not disappoint. He effortlessly [[NoSell No Sells]] a combined attack from the Justice League International, and thoroughly trounces Batman. It's only through [[spoiler: The Question's]] actions that the invasion is thwarted.

And then Superman grins, grabs the ring, and puts it in a box. Turns out that the two of them ''switched costumes'', so "Batman", AKA Superman, is just fine after the raygun blast, and "Superman", AKA Batman, was immune to the Kryptonite.]] Not to say Krypto's role in the fight wasn't awesome. [[spoiler:He gets thrown into space and comes down, using the heat of re-entry to send Superman flying.]]
* "The Malicious Mr. Mind": Batman uses his grappling hook to activate a laser cannon that shrinks the titular BigBad from his OneWingedAngel form back to his normal appearance of a harmless-looking caterpillar. [[spoiler:And Batman does this while he's been de-aged to a baby!]]
* Detective Chimp is generally pretty awesome in this show, but in "Gorillas in Our Midst" he routinely beats up SCORES of gorillas that are four times as big as him. But the moment that made this troper's jaw drop was when he punched an oncoming gorilla in the guy and LAUNCHED HIM OVER HIS HEAD. Then there's the end of the episode, when [[spoiler: Batman gets turned into a [=BatGriffon=].]]

* From "Shadow of the Bat!", Jaime beats the crap out of [[spoiler: vampire]] BATMAN! [[spoiler: until he uses magic hypno-vampire-powers]]. Compare to the earlier episodes, where he had no clue how to operate the suit. Not to mention J'onn taking on the whole group of vampire heroes.

* Batman teaming up with Abraham Lincoln to defeat a SteamPunk cybernetic John Wilkes Booth. [[spoiler: In an alternate universe.]]

* Batman defeating Psycho Pirate [[spoiler:with happy thoughts.]]

** Dick, Jason, Damien and Carrie deal with the League of Shadows, in their own different ways. Meanwhile, Tim and Steph guard Batman's body. They get found by Ra's, and rather than fight him, explain the situation. Ra's lets them use the Pit. [[spoiler:It works.]]

* Detective Chimp is generally pretty awesome in this show, but in "Gorillas in Our Midst" he routinely beats up SCORES of gorillas that are four times as big as him. But the moment that made this troper's jaw drop was when he punched an oncoming gorilla in the guy and LAUNCHED HIM OVER HIS HEAD. Then there's the end of the episode, when [[spoiler: Batman gets turned into a [=BatGriffon=]].]

* In the first episode, the cold open is quite a nice EstablishingSeriesMoment. Clock King has Batman and Green Arrow trapped, before they break out in quite a comedic way.

* Detective Chimp is generally pretty awesome in this show, but in "Gorillas in Our Midst" he routinely beats up SCORES of gorillas that are four times as big as him. But the moment that made this troper's jaw drop was when he punched an oncoming gorilla in the guy and LAUNCHED HIM OVER HIS HEAD. Then there's the end of the episode, when [[spoiler: Batman gets turned into a [=BatGriffon=]]]

* "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!" a fully animated fight between Barry Allen and Professor Zoom both with their powers increase by other speedsters? After Zoom just took a super fast (though granted not as fast as him) Batman out without much effort... Awesome.

* In one episode, Aquaman and Atom are in the middle of a FantasticVoyagePlot through Batman's body. While escaping from deadly nanobots, Aquaman tries to use his fish telepathy to communicate with a blood cell. Atom [[ArtisticLicenseBiology questions Aquaman's sanity]] and says there is no way it will work. [[CrazyAwesome It does.]]

** From the same episode, Green Arrow channels WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries with "I am vengeance! I am the Night! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I AM BATMAN!]]"

* From the tie-in comic, there's "Batman Dies At Dawn!" One night on a case, Batman is critically injured, and it's a race against time to get him help, and the only way to do that? Get a Lazarus Pit. So the Phantom Strange summons Robin. All of them (and Nightwing). Yes, it's a team-up between Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Damien and Carrie Kelley.

* In the cold opening of "The Fate of Equinox!", Batman and Two-Face team up to take out Two-Face's own men after they protest to standing down once the coin toss dictates Batman lives.

* Franchise/WonderWoman's [[DynamicEntry entrance]] in the teaser to "Scorn of the Scarlett Sapphire!" scored to the theme to the [[Series/WonderWoman1975 70s show]]. The preview is only a minute long but the wait was worth it.

* The end of "The Night of The Batmen" has the return of Batmen from other universes, and now it also includes the Batmen from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', and ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''!

* Another for Bats in "Emperor Joker." After Joker has become a RealityWarper and killed him over and over again, he begs Joker [[ReversePsychology not to take his sanity]]. Joker promptly screws open Batman's head, crawls into his mindscape, prepares to toss some important-looking documents about...and gets stopped by a voice out of nowhere: Batman himself. Batman explains how disciplined his mind is, and segues it into a speech about how Joker needs Batman in order to exist. This is punctuated by Joker entering a world without Batman, and turning into an ordinary businessman. Joker willingly surrenders his omnipotence in return for his [[MadHatter characterizing madness]]. Between [[RealityWarper twisting reality around like warm taffy]], using Batman as a cosmic punching bag, and the ''fabulous'' VillainSong, that episode is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for ComicBook/TheJoker himself! Harley Quinn and the powerless Bat-Mite taking on the Joker's goons by taking the intertitles that contains the mute Harley's speech, ripping them off the TV screen, and whacking the goons like it was a metafictional 2 by 4!

* The end of "The Night of The Batmen" has the return of Batmen from other universes, and now it also includes the Batmen from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' and Film/TheDarkKnightSaga!

* WonderWoman's [[DynamicEntry entrance]] in the teaser to "Scorn of the Scarlett Sapphire!" scored to the theme to the 70s show. The preview is only a minute long but the wait was worth it.

* "Darkseid Descending." The big bad king of Apokolips finally comes to Earth and does not disappoint. He effortlessly NoSells a combined attack from the Justice League International, and thoroughly trounces Batman. It's only through [[spoiler: The Question's]] actions that the invasion is thwarted.

* This entire show. It's a celebration of the character's rich history, the Silver Age of comics, and it aired at a time when people thought of TheDarkKnight as the only kind of Batman. And you know what? It succeeded beautifully.

** Kanjar Ro also gains a moment of awesome for using the EvilOverlord list. The previous encounter with the deceased Beetle makes it clear that Ro killed the last Beetle, so the second Ro sees Jaime, he immediately engages the apparently returned Beetle. After taking a brutal beating, he immediately grabs the gamma gong, which apparently neutralizes the scarab. He also removes the scarab from Jaime immediately after he subdues him.

** Between [[RealityWarper twisting reality around like warm taffy]], using Batman as a cosmic punching bag, and the ''fabulous'' VillainSong, that episode is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for ComicBook/TheJoker himself!
** How about Joker repeatedly murdering Batman? Sure, he was supercharged by Batmite's powers, but nobody has killed the Batman in so many ways so fast.
** Harley Quinn and the powerless Bat-Mite taking on the Joker's goons by taking the intertitles that contains the mute Harley's speech, ripping them off the TV screen, and whacking the goons like it was a metafictional 2 by 4!

** Not to mention the clever ruse they put on Lex Luthor near the end of the episode. [[spoiler:As they confront him, Lex blasts Batman with a raygun, and pulls a Green Kryptonite ring on Superman.

** No love for the end of the episode, when [[spoiler: Batman gets turned into a [=BatGriffon=]?]]

* From "Shadow of the Bat!", Jaime beats the crap out of [[spoiler: vampire]] BATMAN! [[spoiler: until he uses magic hypno-vampire-powers]]. Compare to the earlier episodes, where he had no clue how to operate the suit.
** Not to mention J'onn taking on the whole group of vampire heroes.

* Did everyone forget "Batmonolith" from ''The Fate of Equinox'? Batman gets the power of Hal Jordan, Red Tornado, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Fire, ComicBook/PlasticMan, Aquaman, Black Lightning, the Golden Age Flash and Dr. Fate and uses them to defeat the Balanced!Equonix...and was able to beat him with a LogicBomb and a Green Lantern-empowered punch to the face! Yeah, the Brave and the Bold won that day!

** FridgeBrilliance, it completely dismantles a theory originally brought up by the comics Joker (and has been debated in and out of universe), that Batman ''needs'' Joker to give his existence meaning. Turns out it's the other way around, Joker is the only one with the obsessive need to "Not be ordinary".

* No love for the Music Meister? Using only his ''voice'', he eventually brought the ''entire planet'' under his hypnotic control, '''and''' put on the largest musical '''ever'''. Simultaneously.

* How about the end of "Day of the Dark Knight!"? Batman and Green Arrow are facing down Morgan Le Fey, who has ScaledUp into a dragon form in an attempt to fry them before the "one who is worthy" can draw Excalibur. The two of them [[NoManOfWomanBorn work together to draw Excalibur]] and Batman passes Excalibur to Green Arrow, who ''fires it like an arrow at Morgan!'' And it ''works!''
