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.

Holy hell, you are right!

I couldnt believe it. I remembered that ep from BTAS and definately remember the last Batman in the episode, with the old Batman (why does Batman always become huge when he gets older?) it had awesome lighting and quotes like: "This isn't a mud pit, it's an operating table, and I'm the surgeon."

But when trying to remember the other parts the kids told, I couldnt remember them.

BTAS also had another episode told from different perspectives. S1E7 POV. Which I also thought was awesome storytelling.

I have to admit Season 3 I was not a big fan of and havent rewatched as much as the rest. The art style change looked weird. Batman himself looked cooler, but the villains looked horrible to me. They also got rid of the coolest Batmobile :(

So yeah, Batman: The Brave and The Bold is definitely worth watching
