History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooAndBatmanTheBraveAndTheBold

''Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold'' is the 27th entry in the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooDirectToVideoFilmSeries'', released on January 9, 2018. This time, it's a crossover with a Creator/DCComics cartoon, specifically ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' , which ended back in 2011. The movie involves Franchise/{{Batman}} teaming up with the Scooby-Doo gang when DC villains unite to wreak havoc in Gotham City. A deeper mystery runs through as they have to deal with a new villain called the Crimson Cloak, and also deal with Batman's unsolved case.

* ContinuitySnarl: If one considers all the DTV movies to be canon with each other, this movie shows Scooby not really knowing what he's doing when he winds up behind the wheel of the Mystery Machine, but TheTeaser of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMoonMonsterMadness'' showed he was a good enough driver to pass a driving exam.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

The movie also features classic DC villains like ComicBook/{{the Joker}}, ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, ComicBook/{{the Riddler}}, and so forth, alongside heroes like ComicBook/{{AQUAMAN}}, ComicBook/BlackCanary, and ComicBook/PlasticMan.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: [[spoiler:AQUAMAN innocently noting how Question has a sense of humor and ''isn't'' ending things with questions eventually leads to Batman learning that he's being tricked.]]

* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: AQUAMAN is ''not'' a detective but determined to hang out with Batman and the others anyway. His solution: put on a PaperThinDisguise and reintroduce himself as [[Literature/HerculePoirot Quirot]] of [[UsefulNotes/ScotlandYard the Cleveland Yard]].[[note]]Complete with MauriceChevalierAccent![[/note]] He drops the shtick by Act 2, though he insists on tagging along for the remainder.

** At one point, AQUAMAN asks whether Batman has "lost another Robin", possibly canonizing the reference to [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily Jason Todd's death]] in "Emperor Joker!" Then again, he ''could'' just be referring to how Dick Grayson graduated into an independent hero.

** In the aftermath of a battle, Batman and ComicBook/{{the Question}} depart, leaving AQUAMAN to complain about being left behind to do all the work. He then summons a giant squid and commands, "Edgar! Do all the work!"

* RewatchBonus: After the twist of [[spoiler:Riddler disguising himself as The Question]], go back and pay attention to how The Question talks. AQUAMAN is right; he's ''not'' ending things with questions!

* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler:AQUAMAN notes that the Question isn't ending his speech with questions; this turns out to be an important clue for the reveal that it's Riddler disguised as Question.]]

* BroadStrokes: Since the girls from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' make TheCameo appearance in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'', they're presumably not actually from the ''Young Justice'' universe as it is and are instead some sort of BroadStrokes of them in ''The Brave and the Bold'' universe. Then again, this movie could simply take place in a separate continuity from the rest.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Scooby side sticks to the FiveManBand and no more. The Batman side, on the other hand, brings in a half-dozen heroes alongside Batman ''plus'' almost every Gotham-based villain from the original show, from the Joker and ComicBook/{{the Penguin}} down to Mr. Camera and the Polka-Dot Man, [[spoiler:to say nothing of new addition Clayface.]]

!! The movie contains examples of:

** When Velma points out that Batman has become a fugitive for helping the gang, Batman simply states "it wouldn't be the first time". He may be referring to the time his MirrorUniverse counterpart Owlman disguised himself as Batman to frame him in "Game Over for Owlman!".[[note]]It may also be a nod to ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne'', how he was originally wanted by the police.[[/note]]

* TheUntwist: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Clayface gets a brief name-check early on, and the Crimson Cloak soon demonstrates several abilities Batman fans will almost immediately connect with him. The truth? [[spoiler:He ''was'' acting as the Cloak, but only on the orders of ''actual'' BigBad Riddler]].

* ActorAllusion: Plastic Man takes the appearance of [[Characters/TexAveryMGMCartoons Red's would-be suitor Wolfie]] at Daphne, whose voice-actress Creator/GreyDeLisle was Red's most recent v.a.

* {{Retcon}}: Catwoman's design has been changed into the look she briefly had in the early 1970s Bronze Age comics, instead of the Silver Age design she had in ''Batman: The Brave And The Bold''.
