Episode Quotes

Catwoman #2: No hero worth his salt would let a lady expire. It's foolproof I tell you - purrrfectly foolproof.
Batgirl: And you, Catwoman, are an even bigger fool than I thought you were.
Catwoman #2: Angora, gag her! Crimefighters should be seen and not heard.

Catwoman #2: You better pray that Batman is a man-man more than he is a police-man.

Catwoman #2: Yes, my dear, you will make a purrrfect pinafore - the type of garment no one will recognize you in, or as... if you'll pardon a final cutting remark.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): While pretending to get out of the yellow net thrown over himself and Robin, Batman accidentally pulls it too high and the actor quickly pulls it back down to cover himself.

Trivia

This was Eartha Kitt's first appearance as Catwoman, and she had an entirely different approach to it from Julie Newmar. Not only did Kitt's Catwoman have more of an aggressive edge, but, due to the racial attitudes of the times, the unrequited crush that Newmar's character had on Batman had to be eliminated entirely.
Eartha Kitt took over the role of Catwoman in the final season because Julie Newmar was busy filming Mackenna's Gold.
