History ShoutOut / BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

* In "Cry Freedom Fighters", Batman is given the power of patriotism by Uncle Sam, and his costume gets a more patriotic makeover, [[CaptainAmerica including wings on the sides of his cowl. He then proceeds to throw a shield at a fleeing enemy, which bounces off the walls several times before finally hitting the baddy]].

** The invisible jet is based on the one that appeared at {{Superfriends}}.

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

* In the opening for "Triumvirate of Terror", Batman's RousingSpeech to the Justice League mentions "little Julie Schwartz and [[FrankMiller Frankie Miller]] from Gotham".

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

* Batman's red armor in the episode "Day of the Dark Knight" is similar to his appearance in DC's "Tangent Comics" universe.

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

* "Invasion of the Secret Santas!" had shout outs to ''A Charlie Brown Christmas'', ''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.

* In "Gorillas in Our Midst!": [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes "Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!"]]

MetalMen\\

** The entire episode is essentially an extended reference to ''FiveDeadlyVenoms''

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

* {{Katana}} is visually very similar to Gogo Yubari, the teenage Japanese assassin from ''Film/KillBill''.
* GreenArrow's sidekick Speedy seems to be based on Burt Ward's portrayal of {{Robin}} from the [[Series/{{Batman}} 60's show]], from his general gee-whiz attitude to lines like "Holy involuntary acrobatics!".

* Batman testing [[BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]] in a [[VirtualTrainingSimulation virtual training room]] may be a nod to the [[DeadlyTrainingArea Danger Room]] from ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}''.
* The DoctorFate-themed episode "The Fate of Equinox" features an art style reminiscent of SteveDitko. This is almost certainly a nod to Comicbook/DoctorStrange, Doctor Fate's AlternateCompanyEquivalent from MarvelComics.
* The Faceless Hunter's origin and role as Starro's {{Herald}} are both nods to the SilverSurfer.

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

** When the newly-powered Joker transforms into a skin-tight spandexed emperor with a WhoopeeCushion crown, he raises his arms and shouts, "I'm the king of the world!" just like Jack does in ''Film/{{Titanic}}''.

** 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 JusticeLeagueUnlimited.

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

** Part of the fight between Superman and Batman is based scene-for-scene on the final episode of ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' and its Superman/Darkseid fight (the bit where Supes punches Bats through a building, superspeed-intercepts him on the other side, and then smashes him down into the ground).

*** The other other part? The brawl between Batman and Superman actually mimicked Superman's climactic battle with Darkseid in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited.''

* 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.

** Batman having a crush on Wonder Woman, unrequited of course, references how Wonder Woman had feelings for him in JusticeLeague, and he ignored them.

* Proto in "Plague of the Prototypes!" does two homages to the ''GoLion'' version of ''{{Voltron}}'': with his sword, and his pose in space in the end.

** Specifically, this is a nod to the fact that Speedy was one of the numerous [[FountainOfExpies rip-offs]] of Robin that were created [[FollowTheLeader after the character gained popularity]] during the GoldenAgeOfComicBooks.

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

* In "The Super Bat-Man of Planet X!", Rothul's combat robots look ''uncannily'' like the [[PennyArcade Fruit Fucker 2000]].

** It feels good to know that i'm not the only one who thinks that.

* During "Revenge of the Reach!", Jaime breaks through guys wall construct [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann using a drill (that expands) and a familiar pose]].

* In the Episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!"

** Funny enough, when Bat-Mite notes that [[OffModel someone mispainted Batman's collar]], he doesn't seem to notice the fact that the Bat-symbol is ''inverted''.

** Joker and the Weeper teamed up once before, in the Justice League of America comic book issue #136.
** Joker and The Weeper actually succeed in destroying Batman's crime-detecting device (but get arrested anyway).

** Wonder Woman's design is based on the Golden age comics.

** Batman having a crush on Wonder Woman, unrequited of course, references how Wonder Woman had feelings for in JusticeLeague, and he ignored them.

*** The other other part? The brawl between Batman and Superman actually mimicked Superman's climactic battle with Darkseid in ''JuxsticeLeagueUnlimited.''
