First time in the series that the storyline is not covered in multiple episodes.
The car that Bruce gives to Dick after passing his driving test is a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible with the name plate on the side removed.
Because season three no longer had cliffhanger endings, the producers instead used the end of each episode to tease next week's story and villain.
This marked the first appearance of Barbara "Batgirl" Gordon, as portrayed by Yvonne Craig. Originally she was scheduled to get her own show, which was to have served as a lead in to this show. However, it was decided to add the character to the cast as an ally to Batman.
Barbara Gordon wears a red wig as Batgirl. In the comics, Barbara Gordon is an actual redhead.
