Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Burgess Meredith was cast as the Penguin, he hadn't smoked in 20 years. He came up with the Penguin's distinctive squawk because the cigarettes irritated his throat. The Penguin's waddle 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 show often refers to Dick Grayson/Robin as "Bruce Wayne's young ward." It's not a reference to the name Burt Ward.
- Crazy creditsThe actor who played the villain would always be credited as the "Special Guest Villain"
- Alternate versionsIn the late 1980s, original cast members reunited to film special introductions to be added to the start of each episode.
- ConnectionsEdited into Batman: Partners in Peril (1996)
Featured review
Holy Hell Batman we'll live on forever!
Troy Whigham's first up review here really nails it! I'll just add a few of my own observations.
Part of the show's brilliance was its (arguably intentional) ability to appeal to young and old. Plenty of action for the ankle-biters and black black humor for the thinking adult. So corny, it was brilliant and from a nostalgic viewpoint now, not so far behind Maxwell Smart. No one has delivered such throw-away deadpan lines as Adam West who turned "Batman" into an srt-form by the second series. Credit too must also go to Burt Ward whose acting career never recovered from his oneness with the Boy Wonder!
Outstanding supporting criminal nemesis' provided by the likes of Cesar Romero, Eartha Kitt, Victor Buono and of course Burgess Meredith as The Penguin and Frank Gorshin as Riddler!
Never to be seen again!
