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)
Louie's Lethal Lilac Time - S3-E18
Character mistake: When Gordon and O'Hara show Barbara the slides of Batman and Robin's previous exploits, the last slide shows the Batmobile being hit with mines. Gordon says they're chasing King Tut, but it's actually from Catwoman's "Better Luck Next Time".
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.
