I've been re-watching the entire run of Batman: The Brave and the Bold on HBO Max and it's just such a fun show. The love for DC Comics history shows in every episode, I'm amazed at some of the characters they decided to use. I can't seem to find Justice League Action on the service, however. I'd love to do a re-watch of that series as well - I'm not sure I caught all of the episodes when they were first briadcast.

Fantastic to see the Terrible Trio! I really enjoy the animal themed baddies.
Unfortunately, Warner Bros. has started farming their DC animated series out to other streaming services. Justice League Action is not on Amazon Prime. Justice League Unlimited is now on NetFix.
"Justice League Action is now on Amazon Prime"
Sorry for the typo.
B:B&B was indeed a fun show, harkening back to the lighter mood of the 60s and 70s without going overboard in the silliness (until it needed to, in the final episode). My favorite moment was the opener with Blue Beetle, where Batman is comparing notes with Ted Kord while the two are on a mission (and then things get a bit more straightforward for the actual episode with Jaime Reyes).
By the way, I know that Batman and Ant-Man have met before on this blog (including once in the B&B days), but none of them look like a Silver Age-era adventure in this vein.
This is wonderful silver-age madness Ross. I can see Adam West's Batman falling into this trap: (Blonde Phantom) "Batman! The Terrible Trio are at the Remote Control Rocket factory." Since Aesop, bad guys with animal heads add a little spice every now and then.
I recently watched the entire thing myself, most of it for the first time, and I have to place it with my all-time favorite cartoons overall - not just superhero cartoons, any kind! I think what amazed me most was how they reenacted Jimmy Olsen's Giant Turtle Man and (at least visually) referenced the Dark Knight Returns in THE SAME FREAKING EPISODE!
Fortunately for this Duo, and unfortunately for the animal-headed trio, the Blonde Phantom knows how to physically break the fourth wall and so can cross between panels...
I liked B B&B, but compared to B tas and JL& JLU? Tremendous difference.
I remember when Detective went from space alien villains to Bruce telling Dick he added the yellow circle around the bat. Wasn't sure what to expect with this new age.
Too many people don't want a detective in Batman, just a fighter. Shame. The detective is what made him stand out to so many.
@Simreeve: in that outfit, she'd not only break the 4th Wall. She'd break Batman's commitment to Catwoman!
@Ross: WOW!!! The preceding interjection is the highest praise I can give you. Because I am strongly reminded of DETECTIVE COMICS v.1/#456 from 1976. And if you could repro that cover here, with an image capture of the Blonde Phantom in roughly the same pose, you would most definitely have the clickbait masterpiece of all time.
Cary, I already used that cover in my B&B days - with Rogue as the femme fatale.
Then, it's undeniably overdue for an encore! :-)
I was unaware, as Simreeve mentioned, that BP was a fourth-wall breaker. We also have Deadpool, She-Hulk, and Ambush Bug serving that function, don't we? I'm starting to feel like there should be a team there.
Add the Harvey Comics version of Venus, who served as story-telling host for a 1950's horror/fantasy anthology comic, and you could call them (hide those cookies, Bob)...The Harvey Wall Breakers!
@Anon@9:44: #GoodPunHaveACookie
One on the same principle, one might also include Cain (House of Mystery>; and possibly the Tangent Universe Green Lantern.
Great cover! Immediately recognized the cover from Detective Comics # 321, one of my earliest comics.
