Continuity mistake: When Dick and Bruce go "to the bat poles" Dick is on the left side and Bruce on the right. When they get to the bottom, they have switched poles. Dick is on the right and Bruce is on the left.
Answer: It's wasn't unusual for multiple actors to play one character on this show. The villains on the TV Batman were played by guest stars, not regular cast members. George Sanders, Otto Preminger, and Eli Wallach played the part at various times. They may simply have only wanted to play the part once or twice, or they were later tied up with other projects, making it necessary to cast someone else. Other characters, like Catwoman, were also played by more than one actress.
