Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe footage of the Gotham City World's Fair that opens the show is actually of the New York World's Fair of 1964-1965. The building identified on screen as "Republic of Moldavia" was the Thailand Pavilion at the Fair.
- GoofsBruce Wayne says he is going through his father's old law books. Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, was a doctor. It would not be unthinkable for a doctor to have law books, as there are a good many pieces of legal knowledge that a doctor would have to be familiar with. The show never explicitly states that Thomas Wayne was not a doctor.

Featured review
Why is A Pineapple like Batman's Drink?
What a great start to get me interested in the series! It's so aggressively earnest it's hard not to fall in love with the show.
Taken as an actual piece of superhero based drama it's Decidedly lame; the idea of Batman being scared of a lawsuit does not really inspire a sense of awe for the character. However, taken as unintentional (is it though?) parody of the genre and the era it's pretty spot on! It really offers the best of what I was hoping for from the show. I was laughing heartily throughout at the sincerity and goofiness.
Lectures on pedestrian safety and underage bar attendance are featured. Is it meant to be a message for the kids? Batman therefore comes across more as a pedantic father figure than a formidable hero. However, he is encouraged by Robin in this behaviour rather than defied - so it's all a bit of a gleefest.
Secret fishing trips are mentioned. The homoerotic nature of the relationship between the Caped Crusader & the Boy Wonder seems to be clearly hinted at. It's delightfully awkward.
The Riddler as the debut villain is great. He's so over the top and therefore fits in perfectly with the exaggerated and campy tone of the show.
Go go dancing is in full force - even Batman himself gets into the action. This honestly couldn't feel any more 1960s! It's gloriously fun.
Answer: They're both spiked!
