Trivia
The Penguin's submarine's interiors are the "Seaview" sets from Voyage au fond des mers (1964) redressed.

Goofs
(at about 5:00 into the film) While Batman and Robin are flying in the Batcopter, they fly over women in bikinis on the top of a skyscraper. They start jumping up and down and one of the women in bikinis has her breast exposed. This part is obviously censored.

Quotes
Batman: Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!

Crazy credits
(opening disclaimer) ACKNOWLEDGMENT We wish to express our gratitude to the enemies of crime and crusaders against crime throughout the world for their inspirational example. To them, and to lovers of adventure, lovers of pure escapism, lovers of unadulterated entertainment, lovers of the ridiculous and the bizarre--- To funlovers everywhere--- This picture is respectfully dedicated. If we have overlooked any sizable groups of lovers, we apologize. ---THE PRODUCERS

Alternate versions
Depending on the condition and color saturation of the print of the film, the Joker's hair can appear orange rather than green. This was evident on the VHS releases of the film. The same thing would sometimes happen in the TV series (particularly during fades to black), but the mistake was more evident and consistent in the film. The Blu ray release's color saturation corrects this and the Joker's hair appears green, as it should be.

Edited into Batman: Walk the Straight and Narrow (1966)

What great special effects!

If no one else has commented on the great effects, then i will. KABLAM! POW! BOOM! The effects were really funny and the evil villians teaming up together against batman and robin was a genius idea on the writers part! I always will and still do find robin cuter than batman. The riddler's jokes were really tacky, but i know i never would've came up with those jokes in a million years! i'll just stick with the jokes from the laffy taffy wrappers! (LOL) The movie was great and i strongly recommend it if you want to see batmans funny side and see the caped crusader attempt to battle all the evil forces of gotham city! (A- B+)
