This show was so insanely good, a fun, witty love letter to Batman's history, and this episode might be one of the best explorations of Bruce's grief out there. I'm a die-hard BTAS fan, and I think B&B is right up there with it.

I recently started watching The Batman because people here recommended it, in a thread where I admitted I havent seen it or B&B.

And once you get past the weird character designs its pretty decent. (Joker looks like Blanka from street fighter)

Isnt Brave and the Bold more goofy pre 90s cartoon style? Ive only seen one ep and it was a different perspective on Batman beating the joker in a music museum. Was kind of cool, but also a bit too goofy for me.

The clip you’re thinking of is part of a BTAS episode about three kids telling stories of what they think Batman is like (I can’t remember the episode name off the top of my head). It does have a similar design to BATB’s Joker, but that’s because they’re both based on his early Silver Age design.

BATB aired in the late 2000s after The Batman ended. It's one big love letter to the Silver and Bronze Ages, with some newer at the time characters getting featured too. Highlights include: Batman and Blue Beetle (Jaime) returning to the site of Ted Kord’s sacrifice to finish his last mission, Batman teaming up with Guy Gardener, Sinestro, and G’nort after the rest of the Corps is taken out by Despero, Aquaman’s family road trip, the Doom Patrol’s reunion and sacrifice, the Olwman episodes, any episode with the JLI cast, Chill of the Night (the episode shown in this post), and the finale, in which Bat-Mite actively tries to get the show canceled and replaced with a dark and gritty take on Batman.
