Season 3: 1967–68

In Season 3, the format of episodes was somewhat at variance with previous seasons. Airings were reduced to a single night per week and true multi-part stories were rare. At the conclusion of each story, the guest villains of the next story would usually make an uncredited appearance in the final scene. For example, Egghead is seen riding into town, literally, at the end of "Louie, the Lilac". A notable "spin" on this idea were the "linked" episodes "Ring Around the Riddler" and "The Wail of the Siren". In "Ring Around the Riddler", the Siren has an "introductory" scene assisting the Riddler in his criminal caper and briefly mentioning having her own plans for Commissioner Gordon. Batman subsequently defeats the Riddler, and the Siren returns in the tag to start her own caper, which is the basis of "The Wail of the Siren", really a separate story altogether. Three major cast changes occurred for the final season: Yvonne Craig joined as Batgirl, and Eartha Kitt replaced Julie Newmar as Catwoman (though an unidentified body double in the penultimate episode "The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra" returned Catwoman to being Caucasian), while ill health reduced Madge Blake's role as Harriet Cooper to a couple of cameo appearances.

Notes

  1. ↑ This pair of episodes was also released as a ViewMaster stereoscopic set.
  2. ↑ The billed special guest star of this episode is not Roger C. Carmel (Col. Gumm), but rather Van Williams (the Green Hornet) and Bruce Lee (Kato), as "Visiting Heroes", in a crossover from their own series, who are suspected by the Dynamic Duo and Gotham police as being criminals, rather than crime fighters.
