Louie's Lethal Lilac Time - S3-E18
Character mistake: When Gordon and O'Hara show Barbara the slides of Batman and Robin's previous exploits, the last slide shows the Batmobile being hit with mines. Gordon says they're chasing King Tut, but it's actually from Catwoman's "Better Luck Next Time".
Surf's Up! Joker's Under! - S3-E10
Visible crew/equipment: After Batman wins the competition, when Hot Dog is finally released from the trash can Joker rushes over to claim it was just a little joke, and the microphone pops up into view at the bottom of the screen. (00:21:10)
The Catwoman: You dismal bird! You and your submarine, Where has it got us now?
The Penguin: Shut up, you feline floozy.
Trivia: Originally, Batman villain Two-Face was going to appear in this show and was going to be portrayed by Clint Eastwood. Two-Face's backstory wouldn't have him as an attorney who had acid thrown in his face but instead have him as a news anchor who would have a stage light exploding resulting in his injuries and his transformation into a criminal.
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.
