Oh man, was this a close one. The last vote helped to keep this from being another tie, which I'm grateful for.
If I'm allowed to get personal for a minute, I was dreading this match. These are two of my favorite cartoons of the last decade, if not all time. I know that if it was my vote, I would have had a hard time deciding which one to help advance. On one hand, I loved how authentic and well-written Earth's Mightiest Heroes is. It's faithful to the comics while doing more than enough to bring in new viewers with it. On the other, Brave and the Bold is one of the most singular shows of all time, a loving tribute to the silver age that's able to be playful and reverent at the same time. It's a miracle that this caught on and became a favorite when it did, especially at the height of Nolan's take on the Bat.
Personally, I ultimately would have gone with Avengers: EMH. We've had great Batman shows before, and I know we will again, but I've seen the previous and future Avengers shows, and I don't think we'll get another series like EMH for the team ever again. But I can't argue against the winner, either.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold moves onto the next round! The next match will begin shortly.
