Directed by: Leslie H. Martinson
Starring: Cesar Romero, Adam West, Burt Ward, Lee Meriwether
The Contaminated Cowl (1) - S2-E35
Visible crew/equipment: When Mad Hatter has Batman's pink cowl he enjoys his short sweet victory. In the next shot the Dynamic Duo walk in, and at the end of this shot the actor's chalk mark is visible on the floor at Mad Hatter's feet. Then as the goons nab Robin and Batman, more chalk T-marks are visible on the floor. (00:22:45)
Continuity mistake: When Batman and Robin are in the museum speaking with the director, Batman's chest emblem is high enough on his chest that it nearly touches the bottom edge of his cowl. In the next shot, when he leaves the museum, the emblem has moved down several inches.
Commissioner Gordon: Great day in the morning.
Trivia: In his appearances as The Joker, Cesar Romero's moustache is visible under his makeup. Romero refused to shave it off, so his makeup had to be applied over it.
Question: Why were three different men used for the villain Mr. Freeze?

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.
