Line 99: ** The mysterious alien Alpha Q is based the [[Transformers Generation 1\|G1]] Quintessons, although he only has three faces (G1 Quintessons had five). In fact, in the comic, his full name is Alpha Quintesson. == Other Works == * In ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'', one episode features the theme song from the original ''[[X-Men (animation)\|X-Men]]'' animated show remixed as a sort of tropical poolside jazz piece. Also, in the episode "Under Lock and Key", the five members of the original X-Men team from the '60s (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman) are sent on a mission together. Line 159: ''[[The Batman vs. Dracula]]'' was probably somewhat inspired by ''Batman and Dracula: Red Rain''. ** In the episode "Team Penguin", the other members of Cobblepot's [[Legion of Doom]] keep suggesting different names for the group. Ragdoll comes up with "Villains United", the title of the book that introduced the [[Secret Six]]. * An episode of ''[[Batman: The ~~Animated Series\|Batman the~~ Animated Series]]'' features one huge mythology gag. It's a bunch of kids telling their [[Rashomon Style]] stories about the Batman, one being 60's campy, one being Miller's Dark Knight, and at the crowning moment of funny they stumble upon a very feminine boy stroking a feather boa saying, "I love Batman, that rubber costume, the car that can drive up walls," and another kid remarks something along the lines of, "oh please give me a break Joel," an [[Take That/Western Animation\|obvious reference]] to [[Joel Schumacher]] and his Batman movies.▼ * ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold\|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' features a ton of references to the 60s ''[[Batman (TV series)\|Batman]]'' series. In particular, an episode with Robin copies a lot of things that would happen in the show, including walking up the side of a building, Robin shouting "Holy X, Batman!", using a Shakespeare bust to open up a secret path to the Batcave, and more. There's also an episode with the Joker where he ends up in the Batcave and reminisces about some of the various deathtraps he's used on Batman, all of which were pulled from the 60s series. The episode with Bat-Mite references the Dark Knight trilogy, the original 60's series, the Batman Animated Series in the DCAU, and so much more. The whole episode is ''really'' trippy. The Music Meister episode contains a reference to the infamous Bat-Shark Repellent. * And the Batusi. * Hell, the whole ''series'' is pretty much a giant version of this trope, honestly. * The episode "Chill of The Night" has Batman behaving almost exactly as dark, brooding, brutal, and terrifying as his earlier animated counterpart played by [[Kevin Conroy]]. Blink and you miss it, but in [[The Teaser]] for "The Last Patrol", which features the BB&TB version of Batgirl's first battle with Killer Moth, there's a glass case behind her containing Silky, the giant grub from Killer Moth's appearances in ''[[Teen Titans (animation)\|Teen Titans]]''. * In the same episode, one of the circus posters is about Beast Boy, a member of the [[Doom Patrol]] in other incarnations. In "Bold Beginnings," [[Green Arrow]] comments that as evil as the Cavalier is, he likes his goatee. In practically every other modern incarnation, Green Arrow has one himself. The same episode mentions Batman having gone through a "dark loner phase" before the events of this series. ** In the episode "Powerless!", during "[[Aquaman]]'s Rousing Song Of Heroism", Aquaman takes on the appearance and powers of other heroes. His appearance as [[Martian Manhunter]] shapeshifting into a snake is an exact copy of J'onn's power-display in the ''[[Justice League]]'' title sequence. ▲* An episode of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series\|Batman the Animated Series]]'' features one huge mythology gag. It's a bunch of kids telling their [[Rashomon Style]] stories about the Batman, one being 60's campy, one being Miller's Dark Knight, and at the crowning moment of funny they stumble upon a very feminine boy stroking a feather boa saying, "I love Batman, that rubber costume, the car that can drive up walls," and another kid remarks something along the lines of, "oh please give me a break Joel," an [[Take That/Western Animation\|obvious reference]] to [[Joel Schumacher]] and his Batman movies. ** And another one was all-but an homage to the 1960's "campy" Batman starring [[Adam West]]... who, appropriately, voiced himself as "The Gray Ghost" and his actor. * ''[[Kim Possible]]'' alluded to how the show was going to end in the episode "Bad Boy", as Kim and Ron are watching their favorite prime-time soap, "Agony County", and complaining about the status of one couple. A few episodes later, "So The Drama" ended with [[Official Couple\|Kim and Ron]] getting together, and was supposed to be the [[Grand Finale]], until the producers decided to [[Post Script Season\|bring the show back]].
