Did you know
- TriviaWhen Burgess Meredith was cast as the Penguin in the series, he had not smoked in 20 years. He came up with the Penguin's distinctive squawking because the cigarettes irritated his throat. The Penguin's waddling way of walking was another improvisation; Meredith found it difficult to stand and walk straight while wearing the rubber padded fat suit that was part of his costume.
- GoofsIn episode 7, Alfred refers to Robin as Mr. Ward, and not Mr. Grayson. But the series often refers to Dick Grayson / Robin as "Bruce Wayne's young ward." It is not a reference to the name Burt Ward.
- Crazy creditsThe actor/actress who played the villain in every episode of the series would always be credited as the "Special Guest Villain".
- Alternate versionsIn the late 1980s, the series' original cast members reunited to film special introductions to be added to the beginning of each episode in it.
- ConnectionsEdited into Batman: Partners in Peril (1996)
Featured review
What can I say about this series? It was crazy and ridiculous but it was all good fun.
If anybody's seen my review of the 1966 Batman movie then you'll pretty much know what my view is on this show. It was ridiculous but in a good way.
For starters, Robin couldn't possibly hope to fool anyone with that disguise? How about I put on a mask and go and visit my parents? Would a mask like Robin's fool anyone?
The thing I loved about this series was the cliffhanger episodes. Batman and Robin would be put in a seemingly inescapable trap and then in the next episode Batman would manage to reach into his utility belt and pull out a convenient device. In one episode Batman was about to be dropped in acid when he suddenly remembered that Alfred the Butler had acid proofed his costume. How funny is that?
The crazy thing was how Batman and Robin always had the right equipment. They had things such as Anti-Penguin Gas Pills and other crazy devices. I honestly wouldn't have thought there would be enough room in their belts for half their equipment.
The best thing about this show was the fights at the end. The bumbling villains would outnumber Batman and Robin who would then bash them into next week just before the police arrived.
This was a good show for it's first couple of seasons. The beautiful Yvonne Craig joined the third season as Batgirl and she was good. However the cliffhanger episodes were gradually phased out and each half hour episode had a beginning, middle and end.
This isn't the type of show to take seriously. It's great fun and anybody who watches it will laugh their socks off at times. If it shows up on your local TV channel then watch it!
