The Ogg Couple - S3-E15

Deliberate mistake: At the start of the episode the Boy Scout asks why the Cossacks are in Gotham City, then a moment later as narrator William Dozier says, "At the Gotham City Museum" the closeup we see shows "Los Angeles County Historical and Art Museum" over the museum doors.

Super Grover

The Foggiest Notion (2) - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Batman finds Ye Three Bells at the docks, in the exterior shots the entry door has a handleset on the exterior side of the door, but in the interior shots when the entry door is open, we can see there's a door knob on the exterior side of the entry door. (00:06:25)

Super Grover

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. (00:00:45)

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)

Super Grover

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)

Super Grover

The Ogg Couple - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: After Egghead dumps Batgirl into the vat of caviar, Egghead, Olga, and the Cossacks attempt to escape, then just as they run out the door, a bit of set lighting equipment (which wasn't in previous shots) is visible at the left side of the screen. (00:22:10)

Super Grover

The Bloody Tower (3) - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: When Batgirl hands Batman the rope, just as he tells her to concentrate on the Indian fakir command, above Batman's head we can see the glistening wire that will be used in the stunt. Then, after Batman and Batgirl have escaped the dungeon Robin rushes up and asks how they did it, and when Batman reiterates the Indian fakir command for Robin, we can see the wire attached to the rope. (00:15:55 - 00:18:05)

Super Grover

The Riddler: You and your trained, exploding shark.
The Penguin: How was I to know they'd have a can of shark-repellent Batspray handy?

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.
