Trivia: In the Batman opening theme music, the horns are out of sync with the animation: the horns play two notes over the "Starring Adam West"/Batman head shot instead of during the following animated shots of "POW" "BIF" and "BAM" "SOCK" "BLAP." This also occurs in Season 1, Episode 2 "Smack in the Middle" This is corrected by the third episode "Fine Feathered Finks" and is corrected to three notes.

Answer: It's wasn't unusual for multiple actors to play one character on this show. The villains on the TV Batman were played by guest stars, not regular cast members. George Sanders, Otto Preminger, and Eli Wallach played the part at various times. They may simply have only wanted to play the part once or twice, or they were later tied up with other projects, making it necessary to cast someone else. Other characters, like Catwoman, were also played by more than one actress.
