I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle - S3-E23

Plot hole: After the rock falls on King Tut at the end giving him amnesia, Batman explains how the rock fell. He says Tut raised his voice three decibels above high C. Decibels are a measure of volume, while pitch is a measure of frequency: the two are not directly related. This mistake was done in other episodes of Batman also, such as when Joan Collins played the villain.

The Joker's Flying Saucer - S3-E24

Character mistake: Vertigris tells Joker he planted a bomb in the Batmobile while it was parked in front of City Hall/Police HQ. Only in this instance, it wasn't. It was parked in the alley out back, the better to hide his bomb-planting from public view, so it's strange that he'd forget this. (00:08:15)

The Joker's Flying Saucer - S3-E24

Plot hole: A time bomb is placed under the dashboard of the Batmobile and goes off inside the batcave. Much of the batcave is ruined, including fallen I-Beams, but the Batmobile has no damage to it even though the bomb was planted in it.

The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra - S3-E25

Visible crew/equipment: After Batman discovers Cassandra's true identity in the alchemy book, he takes a call from Commissioner Gordon on his cute portable Batphone, then he and Robin head to Spiffany's. When it cuts to Spiffany's, just as narrator William Dozier says, "Gotham City's fashionable 15th Ave," the actor's white marks are visible on the floor under the table. Then we see Cassandra's and Cabala's white T-marks when they walk in. Next, upon the Terrific Trio's entrances, we see their T-marks as well. (00:08:25)

The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra - S3-E25

Continuity mistake: The Batmobile returns to the Batcave by remote control. It's facing left when we get a brief, three-second shot of Batgirl talking to Batman and Robin. In the very next shot, the Batmobile has instantly turned itself around and is facing right. Its turntable (which was actually pushed manually by stagehands under the platform) didn't work quite that fast. (00:18:05)

Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires - S3-E26

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, in the two consecutive scenes with millionaires William Dozier and then Howie Horwitz, while they're being treated to Minerva's renowned scalp massage, the chalk T-mark is visible on the floor at the lower left side of the screen, and in the Horwitz scene Minerva's small mark is also visible on the floor behind the spa chair.

Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires - S3-E26

Visible crew/equipment: Minerva tells Freddie that if she'll get the diamonds from the Wayne Foundation vault, he can fence them. When it cuts to Commissioner Gordon, Batgirl, and Chief O'Hara pacing the floor, three small white tape marks are visible on the rug in front of the coffee table, where each of them stop and turn on their marks. (00:05:35)

Commissioner Gordon: Great day in the morning.

Batman trivia picture

Trivia: The 1966 T.V. Batmobile was created from a decade-old "concept show car" designed and built in 1955 by Ford's Lincoln Division. It was called the Lincoln Futura, and was originally a pearlescent pale green. After several years on the car show rounds (and an appearance in one movie, repainted red), it was sold for $1 to George Barris who stored it outdoors for 6 years. When FOX called looking for Barris to build a car for the show, they gave him 3 weeks, so he grabbed this already-weird looking car he had out back, sketched a few changes and passed the physical work to Bill Cushenberry. It was finished on time and the rest is history.

More trivia for Batman

Answer: There were three well-known actors who played Mr. Freeze, each one a different height, weight, and physique. As these were notable guest stars, the costume designers would adapt the costume to best fit each actor who likely would want to avoid comparisons to the other Mr. Freezes, incorporate their preferences, as well as refresh the look, rework whatever didn't work in previous versions, and so on.
