This episode has some very memorable scenes, mainly the footage of all the super-criminals being released from prison: The Riddler, King Tut, The Joker, etc. With the exception of the 1966 Batman motion picture, we never see the gang all bunched together like this and we can only wonder what kind of small talk they all made in prison together.
Elements of the fantastic are also present with vanishing criminals (note the Lost In Space vanishing sound effect), then turning invisible and marching into Gordon's office.
However, this is the 2nd last Batman episode EVER and the direction was far from the quality seen in season one's episodes directed by Robert Butler. All in all, this episode is good.
