    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Joan Collins, despite having made more than a score of movies, was best known, at the time this episode aired, for being the wife of Anthony Newley. According to Adam West's autobiography, Collins, who was doing a lot of U.S. TV at this point, also had a reputation for being difficult. Although she was very professional and cooperative during the taping of this episode, director George Waggner berated her mercilessly because of that reputation, reducing her almost to tears on at least one occasion. With help and encouragement from West and other people in the cast and crew, she was able to finish the episode with no further incidents.
    • Goofs
      Robin brags that his bat-earplugs will protect him from the Siren's song, since they screen out any sound above 14,000 decibels. However, decibels measure the volume of sound (how loud or soft a sound is), while the Siren's power depends on the frequency of the sound.
    • Quotes

      Alfred: [under the Siren's spell, Commissioner Gordon has stowed away in the Batmobile after which it returned to the Batcave] Commissioner Gordon, what are you doing here?

      Commissioner Gordon: You? You're Alfred, Millionaire Bruce Wayne's butler. And that voice! The same nameless voice that often answers the Batphone.

      Alfred: I'm afraid you're making a mistake, sir.

      Commissioner Gordon: Mistake? Nonsense! Obviously this is the Batcave... Ergo Batman is Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson is Robin the Boy Wonder. Hmm hmm!

    JOAN COLLINS ENTERS THE VILLAINS GALLERY

    With her hypnotic song, the Siren dominates the will of Commissioner Gordon and gets him to hide inside the trunk of the batmobile, her intention is that once inside the batcave she discovers the true identity of Batman and Robin, but our heroes discover it and succeed. Avoid it. The Siren then goes ahead with her other plan, hypnotizing Bruce Wayne and forcing him to sign documents giving the villain his entire fortune, but Robin and Batgirl arrive in time to force her to reverse her spell. New villain in a very entertaining episode.
