TRIVIA

About 12-13 minutes into this episode, Batman and Robin are asking the man at the front desk of the Gotham City Museum to close the museum. Behind Robin is a human figure riding on the back of a dolphin. This 'dolphin' figure was one of two matching figures that are seen in The Poseidon Adventure (1972) on each side of the forward end of the Poseidon's ballroom (where the Christmas tree is located). They sit on a lit up shelf in a recessed area of each wall.
