Cartoons that reference Batman '66
On TO THE BATPOLES we've talked about things like BATFINK, the "Catman" episodes of WALDO KITTY, and Adam's cartoon appearances as a different Catman on THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS. I've thought of another one that we need to cover, but are there more? What are some non-Batman cartoon shows that have made references or parodies of Batman '66 (e.g. having a sidekick who says "Holy", a Batphone analog, etc)?

There's Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse (created by Kane, with Moldoff storyboards), but it predates the Dozier series by six years.
for a more direct reference, there's the Batman intro from main title of the original Super Friends series--
I think there's no doubt that spinning color "wheel" was inspired by the main title from the '66 series.

That's clever.
The Brave and the Bold Cartoon episode with Batmite - briefly there's an Adam West Batman
Several Simpson episodes, but I don't follow-them closely enough to say which episode
of course the DC Crisis with Burt Ward crossover episodes
Animated Batman Grey Ghost with Adam voicing the Ghost (does that work?)
I'm sure there was something on Big Bang Theory other than the episode with Adam's appearance

Batman references on The Simpsons turn out to be quite voluminous!

Re: Cartoons that reference Batman '66
Trying to jog my memory on the title of Aardman Animation's CGI movie Flushed Away, which has a fun extended salute to "our" Batman, I came across a pretty long list of potential references. Many are spoofs/homages to 1989 Batman, but there seem to be quite a few 1966 references as well.

I believe the Robin costume in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" is one that Burt wore, isn't it?

In the Season 7 episode Radioactive Man they are going to make a Radioactive movie and say they want to make it different from the campy 60s series. Cut to a scene from the 60s series where. they are in a 66 Batman type fight with a villain called the Scoutmaster.

I believe there were parody episodes on both Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.
