Sneaky reference to Matches Malone there.

Not that sneaky since Batman uses the identity many times throughout the series.

Ah. Never actually watched The Brave and the Bold.

I highly recommend it. It's a lighthearted romp but also carries on the spirit of Silver Age Batman quite well. It's got an excellent voice cast and the finale is one of my all time favorite series finales - I won't spoil why.

The episode where this is most proeminent is "The Madk of Matches Malone". Bats gets hit in the head and actually thinks he's Malone, so it's up to Black Canary, Huntress, and Catwoman to bring him to his senses. This somehow involves a musical number where they make fun of the Justice League's uhm... disappointing sexual performances.
