I didn't see it so much as Dini poking fun at Morrison as it was Dini getting to write Silver Age Batman stories and having fun with that era. "Legends of the Dark Mite" makes a nice companion story to Dini's "Legends of the Dark Knight" that he wrote for Batman: The Animated Series, in which a group of kids talk about who/what they thing Batman really is.

Well, the "poking fun" I saw as coming from the statement Bat-Mite read at the podium about the rich tapestry and Batman embodying many different types of stories and etc. etc., which sounds like something Morrison said in re. his exploring some of the more goofy stuff...

I saw that more as Dini telling all the "fans" who constantly post negative stuff on the net (especially at Newsarama) about the show and how horrible it is to kiss off.

Yep, I've read similar comments from the creative team on the series. Plus, the panelists at the convention were the cast and crew, including Andrea Romano, the long-time voice director for all of the DC Animated Universe, and Diedrich Bader, who voices Batman.
I hated the tone of Brave and the Bold from the first episode. Then, I grew to actually like it. This episode was great in that it felt as if Batmite were speaking directly to me (although I had been converted at that point).
I don't think Batmite was ever a regular on a cartoon. But he appeared a few times on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Which I'm sure is on DVD, and I'm surprised I don't have it.
He was indeed a regular in the early 80's series "The Adventures of Batman". In fact, he appeared in every episode. After all, every network employee knew back then that no kid would watch a cartoon without some sort of cute and lovable comedic character in it.

I object to the depiction of Catman at the beginning of the episode, though.

I'm sure it's been covered and is 'obvious' to many ...but.....
The Batman cartoon where Batmite regularly appeared...?
What was it actually called? When was it made and how many where made?
Is it available on DVD??
Thankyou - and sorry .
