Episode #95: "Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin" - Sept. 14, 1967
The Penguin has the perfect recipe for pigeon pie as he kidnaps
Commissioner Gordon's librarian daughter, Barbara Gordon, in this
season opener introducing Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, complete with her
hidden room, revolving walls and a far-out purple catsuit and cowl. The
episode also reveals the mod Batgirlcycle in a secret freight elevator.
Pengy tries to enact his plan to marry Barbara Gordon to give himself
immunity for his crimes as the Commish's son-in-law but ultimately
fails. Craig makes a colorful splash as the playful but competent
crimefighter with a signature spunk and sass.
Episode #97: "The Wail of the Siren" - Sept. 28, 1967
World famous chanteuse Lorelei Circe, aka The Siren (Joan Collins),
enchants Commissioner Gordon then sets her hypnotic high-pitched voice
on Bruce Wayne to try and obtain the Wayne Family jewels and fortune.
Batgirl and Robin team up to rescue the millionaire playboy in a fun
romp that has Commissioner Gordon hiding in the Batmobile to discover
Batman and Robin's secret identity and adds a lame plot to get Bruce
Wayne to sign away his bank accounts. Siren's stunning note goes flat
as Batgirl saves the day after her jazzy theme song pounds our brains.
"Batgirl! Whose baby are you?"
Episode #101: "Louie, The Lilac" - Oct. 26,1967
Legendary funny man Milton Berle stars as Louie the Lilac, who attempts
to corner the Gotham flower market by kidnapping a flower-power
organizer, Princess Primrose, an old college friend of Barbara
Gordon's, by brainwashing her with his patented Stupefying Aromatic
Spray. The Dynamic Duo head to Louie's lavender-hued greenhouse hideout
where they become the evening meal for a pair of monstrous man-eating
lilacs. Alfred, privy to the secret identity of Barbara Gordon, tracks
down the resourceful Batgirl to save the day and restore order to
Gotham City while her persona begins to bloom.
Episode #102: "The Ogg and I" - Nov. 2, 1967
Vincent Price's Egghead and his conniving consort, Olga, Queen of the
Cossacks, nab Commissioner Gordon and hold him for ransom in this first
of a three-part episode. Egghead's ransom demands? A dime tax on every
single egg eaten in Gotham City. As Eggy gathers his exorbitant egg
tax, Olga's Cossacks rip off the Brass Samovar of Genghis Khan, only to
discover Batman and Robin hidden inside the artifact. Alfred and
Batgirl join forces again and deduce in fine Sherlockian-style how to
find the kidnapped Gordon and the nearly "eggs-terminated" Batman and
Robin as Egghead delays his capture by exploding onion-dosed eggs and
vanishes with Olga, the Cossacks, and the ancient treasure. Splat!
Episode #103: "How to Catch a Dinosaur" - Nov. 9,1967
A madcap continuation of "The Ogg and I" episode, with Egghead, Olga,
and the Cossacks illegally acquiring two pounds of radium to hatch a
40-million-year-old Neosaurus dinosaur egg with radiation and trample
Gotham City with its incredibly low-budget creature. Batman and Robin
home in on the hatchery using the Batmobile's radiation detector while
Batgirl uses her purple cycle's Geiger Counter to guide her toward the
same destination. The three engage the Cossacks in a thrilling
threesome until Egghead threatens Batgirl's life with a lethal blade
just as the dino egg begins to crack open and reveal the fake Batman-
costumed Neosaurus inside. Typical of the third season's silly plots
but hey, it's Batman and The Sixties!
Episode #104: "Surf's Up! Joker's Under!" - Nov. 16, 1967
This is one of my favorites of the final season, with a full complement
of Batgirl and Caesar Romero's Clown Prince of Crime cruising around in
a cool Jokermobile And yes, this is the episode where The Dark Knight
"hangs ten" aboard a Bat surfboard on an epic two-foot wave! Joker
kidnaps surfing champ Skip Parker, Barbara Gordon's beau, to steal his
expert surfing skills using a Transferometer and Vigor Reverser. Batman
and Robin require the services of the Batcomputer and deduce the
location of the Joker’s secret lair. The highlight of this kooky
episode is seeing Barbara Gordon in a revealing black bathing suit and
watching Batman and The Joker square off in a surf-off at the World
Surfing Championships at Gotham Point! Taking over the world via
surfing never looked so fun! Cowabunga!
Episode #108: "Catwoman's Dressed to Kill" - Dec. 14,1967
Eartha Kitt's Catwoman explodes a Hair-Raising Bomb during a luncheon
recognizing Gotham City's best-dressed women to wreak havoc on
everyone's perfect hairdos, then tries to steal some fancy Gernreich
dresses from the fashion show. Escaping the clutches of Batman and
Robin, Catwoman traps Batgirl and straps her down in the Cat-lair with
plans to cut her into pieces with a dressmaking pattern machine.
Batman figues out Catwoman's next score will be stealing the Golden
Fleece and has to figure out whether to rescue Batgirl or save the
Fleece on the far side of town. Can you guess his solution to the
conundrum? It involves Alfred, the world's oldest living hippie.
Episode #109: "The Ogg Couple" - Dec. 21, 1967
Here's the finale of the three-parter starring Egghead, Olga and her
Cossacks snatching the precious Golden Egg of Ogg and the Silver
Scimitar of Toras Bulbul at the Gotham City Museum. Next on their
sinister shopping list? A shipment of 500 pounds of rare dehydrated
royal caviar, a gift to the people of Gotham City by The Czar Of
Samarkand, worth $200 an ounce and stored in the Gotham City Bank's
cooled vault! Barbara Gordon does a quick-change operation and charges
out on her purple iron horse to try and halt the caper. Olga traps
Batgirl in her icehouse hideout and gets her to perform a bondaged
saber Bat-dance with her hands tied, then tosses her into a giant ice
kettle just as Batman and Robin arrive to save the day.
Episode #113: "Nora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club" - Jan. 18,
1968
The wheels were coming off the Batman bus in this wackier than usual
entry. Gotham City's Mayor Linseed replaces Commissioner Gordon with a
womens rights advocate, Nora Clavicle. Her first action is to fire all
of Gotham's law enforcement men including Batman and substitutes an
all-girl police squad, allowing her to steal her way through the city.
Batman, Robin and Batgirl locate her headquarters in an old knitting
factory where they're captured by the chick cops and placed in a kinky
Siamese Human Knot rigged with explosives. Kids, don't try this at
home! Oh, and dont' forget about this episode's awesome army of bomb-
carying mechanical mice.
Episode #118: "The Joker's Flying Saucer" - Feb. 29,1968
Caesar Romero's Joker is in rare form in one of the final episodes of
the Batman TV series, offering a sci-fi slant with Joker enlisting the
help of his mad-scientist cellmate, to build a flying saucer to instill
fear amid the good citizens of Gotham. Dispatching his thugs to the
Metals Research Wing of the Wayne Foundation, his crew tries to steal
the rare light-weight beryllium stored inside. Barbara zips into her
yellow and purple Batgirl getup and zooms off on the Batgirlcycle to
save the precious metal. Batman and Robin bolt for the same scene but a
sudden explosion engulfs the Batcave with thick green smoke. Joker's
saucer boomerangs back to the launch pad factory where he's apprehended
by the Dynamic Duo. This was Romero's last appearance as The Joker.
Episode #119: "The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra" - Mar. 7, 1968
This is the penultimate episode for the beloved Batman show and finds
Ida Lupino's seductive Dr. Cassandra attempting to swipe the dazzling
Mope Diamond from Spiffany’s Jewelry Salon in downtown Gotham. Batman,
Robin, and Batgirl are struck with her psychedelic Alvino-ray gun,
flattening the trio into one-dimensional doormats. Cassandra pockets
the diamond while Cabala stacks up the squashed crusaders and slips
them under Commissioner Gordon’s door. Alfred tells Gordon and O'Hara
to mail them to the main post office where he'll pick them up and
restore them with the Three-Dimensional Bat-Restorer in the Batcave.
Meanwhile, Cassandra and Cabala go on a villain-springing spree and
release Catwoman, Egghead, Penguin, Riddler, Joker, and King Tut from
Gotham State Prison. The chapter ends with a wild battle royale against
the entire crew of invisible arch-criminals until the lights go out.
