TB is considered a elseworld Batman series, but it also uses many elemenst from several Batman incarnations. Heres what I found:
60s:
The logo, Batman's suit, Batgirl's cuit, Mr. Freeze as a villian, the bat poles in the cave, the Batmobile (well Batmobile #1 since there is a second one on the way), half of Catwoman's suit,.
Tim Burton's Batman movies:
Creepiness and semi-creepiness of characters, actions, and settings. Joker (semi), original version of Joker (creepy), Penguin from Batman Returns, the snow setting in Batman Returns reminded me of Burton while the inside Joker's mind, which in turn is based on The Cell, is very Burton-like, the Batboat is somewhat similar to the Bat SkiBoat, Batmobile #2 kinda represents the Batmobile from the first two films. In TB, the cave alos uses the sewer systems, theres a debate right now if thats the same for Batman '89/Batman Returns for the cave. Believe it or not, Wayne Manor is a clone of the Batman Returns one.
Schumacher's Batman films:
Wayne CEO of his company rather than Fox, Mr. Freeze combination of villian and wife, Freeze freezing the city, the Riddler swinging and having gadgets inside the cane, bat symbols located in numberous places in the cave.
Comics:
Ellen Yin's name is based on New Commissioner Ellen Yindel from The Dark Knight Returns, Mayor Grange and the idea of having Hush, a post-No Man's Land-like batcave. Hugo Strange was a major villian after appearing as a character first, villian later.
Elseworlds:
Of course, The Batman vs. Dracula is based on the three part Red Rain books.
What they didn't then, they're doing now:
Bruce Timm wanted to do vampires and vampire characters like Nocturna in BTAS but couldn't. Now, TB's crew has done two vampire characters, who knows whats next.
That's what I got as of now. Anybody on anything?
