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.
