Batman: How to Hatch a Dinosaur (1967)
Season 3, Episode 9
The Music & Monster Lift The Episode To A Good Level
7 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Egghead wants to hatch a dinosaur (aka Lost In Space monster).

This is missing some of that colourful dialogue we normally get when Vincent Price (Egghead) shows his face in the series. The episode can hardly be called poor but it just feels a bit empty to me. Thankfully we have two other things to pay attention to:

1: New jazzy Billy May music used at the start (over the stock footage of the batmobile driving out of the batcave and onto the road). This music cue is really some of the most exciting energetic music you will ever hear in 1960s TV (and I have heard it all) but to my surprise this sort of Billy May music gets close to no attention from the 1966 Batman fanbase?? I have never understood that?

2: The monster first appeared in the 1967 Lost In Space episode titled The Questing Beast.

To me atleast, the music and monster make this episode memorable.
