History ShoutOut / BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

** Also, Harley and the rest of the Joker's henchmen start doing the [[RockyHorror Time Warp]] during the final chorus!

-->'''Matches''': I'll whack him, and [[{{TheSopranos}} bada-boom,]] [[TheGodfather bada-bing]], I'll have complete control of Gotham!

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

* One of Wong Fei's students wonders if he'll get the temple if he beats the master. After knocking him around, Wong Fei's response is "[[{{Seinfeld}} No temple for you!]]"

** 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'' {{I Dream of Jeannie}}. Paul Dini also wrote the admitted ''Bewitched'' homage episode ''This Little Piggy'' for {{Justice League Unlimited}}.

* In "Gorillas in Our Midst!" Gorilla Grodd ties Batman and Detective Chimp into the infamous [[GoldFinger crotch-laser]] [[JamesBond death trap]].

* "The Criss Cross Conspiracy!" references ''BatmanForever'', of all things!

* In the cold open of "Night of the Batmen!", a character (Vigilante) who was voiced by NathanFillion in [[JusticeLeague JLU]] [[WebOriginal/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog sings]] a song about [[WebOriginal/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Batman's "Hammers of justice"]], just after saying [[WebOriginal/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog ''A man's gotta do what's a man's gotta do'']].

** The premise of the episode is Bat-Mite trying to get the show canceled by having it [[JumpingTheShark Jump the Shark]] (explicitly using that phrase, even) as Ambush Bug tries to stop him. Ambush Bug is voiced by Henry Winkler -- the original Shark Jumper, Fonzie from ''HappyDays''

** That's NOT all -- Bat-Mite also gives a shout-out to ''{{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'' {{I Dream of Jeannie}}. Paul Dini also wrote the admitted ''Bewitched'' homage episode ''This Little Piggy'' for {{Justice League Unlimited}}.

* While the Harley Quinn in "Emperor Joker" looks more like a RoaringTwenties flapper (she is probably based on silent comedienne Mabel Normand), when Joker puts Bat-Mite into a Jester outfit, it's the Jester outfit the classic Harley wore in her original BatmanTheAnimatedSeries appearance.

** The episodes title is a pun on the movie ''Gorillas in the Mist''.

* In ''The Eyes of Despero'', Batman lays out Guy Gardner in a nod to a classic scene from JusticeLeagueInternational, complete with G'nort providing the "One punch! One punch!" line.

* Aquaman's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Rousing Song Of Heroism]] mentions [[{{Spider-Man}} 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' ''AllStarSquadron''.

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

* From the same ep: "This quill has signed a thousand death warrants!" And then he draws a {{Pokemon}} stadium with it...

* Towards the end of "The Color of Revenge!", the mostly red-clad Robin takes down Crazy Quilt's blue-clad, bald and {{BFG}}-wielding {{Mook}} with a stick. Say it with me - [[TeamFortress2 BONK!]]

* In Aquaman's SitCom - styled opening, Black Manta complains that Fluke has wrecked his [[TheBeatles "octopus garden"]].

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

* In the cold open of "Night of the Batmen!", a character (Vigilante) who was voiced by NathanFillion in [[JusticeLeague JLU]] [[DrHorrible sings]] a song about [[DrHorrible Batman's "Hammers of justice"]], just after saying [[DrHorrible ''A man's gotta do what's a man's gotta do'']].

* Aquaman's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Rousing Song Of Heroism]] mentions [[{{Spider-Man}} wallcrawling]] among the many superpowers possible (of which most are clearly DC characters)
** So wallcrawling is the only superpower none of the DC heroes have?

* Not sure if it's a ShoutOut or a TakeThat, but the "Autotuning Bat-Amplifier" in "Mayhem of the Music Meister!" rather resembles ''TheBatman's'' Bat-Wave device.

* 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 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.
