Storyline
Plot Summary |
Wealthy entrepreneur Bruce Wayne (Adam West) and his ward Dick Grayson (Burt Ward) lead a double life: they are actually the crime-fighting team of Batman and Robin. Two secret Batpoles in Wayne Manor lead down to the Batcave, where Police Commissioner Gordon (Neil Hamilton) summons the Dynamic Duo on the Batphone with the latest emergency threatening Gotham City. Racing to the scene of the crime in the jet-powered Batmobile, Batman and Robin must (with the help of their trusty utility belts) thwart the schemes of a rogues gallery of flamboyant arch-villains, including the Joker (Cesar Romero), the Penguin (Burgess Meredith), the Riddler (both Frank Gorshin and John Astin) and the Catwoman (Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt).

Did You Know?
Trivia | When Burgess Meredith was cast as the Penguin in the series, he had not smoked in 20 years. He came up with the Penguin's distinctive squawking because the cigarettes irritated his throat. The Penguin's waddling way of walking was another improvisation; Meredith found it difficult to stand and walk straight while wearing the rubber padded fat suit that was part of his costume.

Goofs | In episode 7, Alfred refers to Robin as Mr. Ward, and not Mr. Grayson. But the series often refers to Dick Grayson / Robin as "Bruce Wayne's young ward." It is not a reference to the name Burt Ward. See more » |
