Batman (TV series)/Trivia


 * Acting for Two: Liberace (yes, Liberace) once played both an Expy of himself as well as his own Evil Twin brother.
 * Awesome, Dear Boy: The reason several of the guest-stars took the gig as villains. Victor Buono as King Tut is the best example: he was a huge (no pun intended) fan of the comics, and was so into the series he made more appearances than any other guest-star outside of Newmar, Romero, Meredith, and Gorshin.
 * Beam Me Up, Scotty: Sort of. Robin's infamous "Holy [relevant phrase]!" Catch Phrase was used constantly, but he usually didn't end it with "Batman!". He did occasionally, but not nearly as much as the phrase's popularity would make one think he did.
 * Dawson Casting: Burt Ward was twenty, married, and had a kid on the way when he took the role of fifteen-ish Robin.
 * Descended Creator: William Dozier, to Lemony Narrator.
 * Writer Stanley Ralph Ross appears uncredited and with no lines in "The Bird's Last Jest" as Ballpoint Baxter.
 * Executive Meddling: After Julie Newmar was replaced by African-American actress Eartha Kitt, all of Batman's UST with Catwoman was shifted to Batgirl. This was the 1960s after all...
 * Fake Brit: Lord Ffogg was played by Rudy Vallee, an American born in Vermont.
