Correction: Dick isn't amazingly precognizant. He's wearing swim trunks while using the rag to prep his own surfboard. Barbara Gordon was already at the beach with Skip, and Dick is heading to the beach with his surfboard as well (00:04:34).

The Joker's Hard Times (2) - S2-E38

Corrected entry: The Batmobile pulls up in front of the Platter-Porium, and you can see that only Batman and Robin are inside the car. When the shot cuts to close-up, though, Venus is sitting in between them. (Tight squeeze: it's a 2-seater and she must be straddling the transmission hump and hand brake - ouch.) The shot cuts back to full for them to jump from the car, and Venus has disappeared again. (00:13:40)

Correction: We do see Venus in all three shots. When the Batmobile pulls up in front of Platter-Porium, in the first wide shot we see blonde hair between Batman and Robin. Then after the closeup, in the second wide shot (same angle as the first) when Batman and Robin have exited the car, we see Venus turn and poke her head out of the Batmobile, on Robin's side of the car. Also, in the closeup when Batman opens the door, we see Venus is sharing the passenger seat with Robin, directly beside the transmission hump and hand brake, so no ouch for her. Venus does the same thing in the next episode, when she's brought to the Batcave.

Give 'em the Axe (2) - S1-E24

Corrected entry: At the end, Batman mentions "Aunt Harriet's home-cooked meals" to Robin while they're well within earshot of Riddler and his henchmen, who are all restrained, but not unconscious. That's dropping a pretty big clue to their secret identities - a mistake Batman would be much too smart to make. (00:22:00)

Jean G

Correction: Mentioning Aunt Harriet's name would hardly be a clue to Batman's secret identity. First, she isn't even Batman/Bruce Wayne's aunt. Additionally, other non-relatives (like the Commissioner) call her Aunt Harriet. And, even though the audience can hear Batman, there's no reason to think the goons are in "ear-shot".

Correction: When the baddies climb out from the Batmobile's trunk, the trunk is open at 00:17:43. Then we don't even see the trunk again until 00:19:54, when the brawl breaks out, and Robin jumps atop the Batmobile and slams the trunk closed.

Super Grover

Correction: That's the point of the clue, to contain the information without giving it away. By saying out loud H two O's it leads Robin to say the formula for water. The H and O's in the clue don't represent hydrogen and oxygen; just like a clue with a sheep (ewe) represents "you".

Marsha, Queen of Diamonds (1) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: After Batman has been hit by Marsha's love dart, when Robin pulls the dart out and then begs Batman to resist it, in these semi closeups note Burt Ward's uncovered forearm with his still-healing burn wound. Then, while the Dynamic Duo fight Marsha's sabre wielding goons, Marsha hits Robin with another one of her darts and orders him to attack Batman. When this happens, Burt Ward's forearm now has a compression bandage around the wound. (00:13:55)

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.

Answer: There wasn't one singular city used. It was shot in and around various locations in California, plus on a lot of sets and backlots. Ex. Some scenes were shot in LA, some in Pasadena, some in Santa Barbara, etc.
