Trivia:
The Bat-villain Two-Face was considered for the show before its cancellation. The theme of the character was to be a TV commentator who has a TV tube blow up in his face (as the character's original origin - Gotham D.A. Harvey Dent has a vial of acid hurled at his face in court by volatile mob boss Salvatore 'The Boss' Maroni during his trial - would have been too gruesome for television at the time). Ultimately, the character did not appear on the series (at the time, Clint Eastwood was being offered the part). more
Goofs:
Continuity: In episode 7, Alfred refers to Robin as Mr. Ward, and not Mr. Grayson. more
Quotes:
Venus: What is it, Joker? $2,000 is a lot of money.
Joker: Ah, this merchandise is worth $2,000!
Penguin: [popping out of box] It's worth 2,000? You cheapskate. You could have at least sent me a plane ticket!
Joker: Well, we had to get you into Gotham City without anyone knowing about it, Pengy. Especially Batman.
Penguin: Well, I hope you have something special cooked up for that caped creep.
Joker: Ah, I do. The pot's on the fire and Batman's in it!
Penguin: Ah, you are a man after my own heart, Joker!
Joker: Black, eh?
Penguin: Black as pitch!
Joker: [laughs]

Crazy, but I still like it, 28 July 2002
Author: David Melo (meloda) from Oregon, USA

This show is completely nuts! It is SO goofy, and I can realize that now that I'm older. I watched this from when I was 7-12, and always loved it. I still like to watch it whenever they air the re-runs, but now laugh AT it, not WITH it! I've heard of crime fighting, but this is ridiculous! STILL, I like to watch it because I'm a fan of Adam West and Burt "HOLY" Ward! I'd recommend it to all kids who like super-heros, but any body else had better prepare themselves for the "cheesiest" ride of their lives! "HOLY TELEVISION! IT'S ON EVERY DAY NOW!" So folks, tune in tomorrow (and every day): same bat time, same bat channel!
