Trivia

Dick Grayson appears outside of his Robin persona only twice and very briefly in the film. First, at the very beginning, and later when Bruce returns to Wayne Manor after being kidnapped. Dick's only spoken lines are in the latter scene.

A follow up film was at one point considered. The film would have been released between seasons two and three, and would have been used to introduce Barbara Gordon/Bat Girl, and make use of a Batplane. Due to waning interest in the series during season two, which resulted in budget cuts, plans for a second film were scratched.

Penguin's line "Everyone of them has a Mother" (said as he and Catwoman swept up and collected the dehydrated pirates) was ad-libbed by Burgess Meredith.

Goofs

While traveling with the Penguin in the Batmobile, the close up shots show that The Penguin is clearly seated behind Robin. On the long shot, when the car "stalls", The Penguin is sitting in between Batman and Robin as there is NO back seat in the Batmobile.

Share this

During close-up shots of Batman and Robin in the BatBoat, the red beacon behind them is not operating. The long shots show the beacon operating normally.

Share this

When the Riddler launches a Polaris missile at the Batboat and Batman looks at the missile through a pair of binoculars, the word "Polaris" on the side of the missile is backwards (flipped shot).
