Trivia:

Henchman Milo O'Shea telephones Catwoman from a phone booth in Glob's Drugstore; this is an apparent takeoff on Hollywood's famous Schwab's Drugstore, where Lana Turner is said to have been discovered while sitting at the lunch counter in a tight sweater. Indeed, this "tribute" is sarcastically elucidated by the lettering on a sign behind the lunch counter in Glob's Drugstore, which "proudly" proclaims that Glob's is "Where show business greats spend their unemployment checks."

Goofs:

Continuity: While the Dynamic Duo are inside Catwoman's hot foot chamber, she mocks them by dropping an egg through a small trap door in the ceiling, to watch it fry on the hot grid at their feet. Although Catwoman's costume includes long-sleeved gloves, the hand that drops the egg through the ceiling is wearing a short cat glove, with a bare wrist.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: Eleven o'clock in Gotham City and all is well... or is it? Criminals prefer plying their trade under the cloak of darkness, and tonight is no exception.
