I've never seen that cross-over.
DC and Hanna-Barbera are both WB companies and done a few crossovers. DC currently has a Scooby Doo comic. Including one called "The Batman & Scooby Doo Mysteries", DC has done quite a few H-B comics. Including the GLAAD award winning "Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles".
They also do a lot with the Looney Tune characters.
 
Of course, in the '70s, Hanna-Barbera and DC were separate companies, but H-B had the license to Batman and the DC heroes (though not an exclusive license, apparently, since Filmation did The New Adventures of Batman while Super Friends was still airing). So it's a bit of a coincidence that both companies ended up owned by Warner Bros. so that Batman and Scooby could be "reunited," as it were.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold did a Scooby episode years before the crossover movie mentioned above. It featured segments that were homages to past depictions of Batman, and one of them was a Scooby team-up animated in the '70s Hanna-Barbera style, complete with intentional animation errors. (The others were based on a Mad Magazine parody and Jiro Kuwata's 1966 Batman manga.) It featured Jason Marsden voicing Robin, which was one of two times he's played the role, since he played Burt Ward in the biopic Back to the Batcave about the making of the '66 show. As such, Marsden is the only actor I know of who's played Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Dick Grayson, since he voiced teenage Clark in Superman: The Animated Series and teenage Bruce in Beware the Batman, as well as playing both young Bruce and Dick (though not as Robin) in the animated movie Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham.
