Batman, Robin and their lady friend being menaced by a giant clam.
It actually eats Robin, whereupn Batman goes nuts and simply pulls apart the metal chains he’s bound with, yanks open the clam’s mouth and rescues him. For years I thought I had dreamed this and it never actually happened on the show. Then I saw it on Youtube and was shocked to find it was exactly as I remembered my “dream”.
My favorite thing from the Lord Fogg episode was the old fashioned Batphone.
In an episode where the female villain captures Batgirl the male sidekick asks “What are we going to do with her.” “Put her in the machine and roll her flat” Male sidekick eyes Batgirl and mutters “What a shame.”
I still cannot understand why 20th Century Fox, Greenway Productions and Time/Warner can’t work out their differences and release that show on DVD. You’d think there would be enough money for all of them!
From the movie, when they’re trying to deduce what’s happening based on a something with a shark that was pulling Batman’s leg (so it must be the Joker) and an umbrella was involved somehow (Penguin) and (my favorite part) Robin said, “It happened at sea.” (Everyone looks at him blankly.) “C for Catwoman!” (The hilarious part is that he was right.)
The episode where Bruce and Dick are on a camping trip and don’t (at first) see the Bat Signal or answer the Bat Phone. Commissioner Gordon says to Chief O’Hara, “You know what this means, don’t you? The day we hoped would never come. We’re going to have to solve this case…ourselves.”
Another parallel:
New York City is in the state of New York, license plates embossed with “NEW YORK”. If Gotham City is New York City, then
Gotham City is in the state of Gotham, and the Batmobile’s license plate was embossed with “GOTHAM”.
I recall some villain and his henchmen were in the models’ dressing room at some fashion show, and one of the henchmen said something like, “Batman and Robin are outside! Let’s scram boss!”
The villain sneered back, “Don’t worry. They won’t dare to enter this hallowed hall of feminine privacy.”
Cut to outside. Robin said, “What’ll we do Batman? We can’t enter that hallowed hall of feminine privacy!”
I don’t remember the villain except that he was male, and I’m paraphrasing the words, but it was purple prose indeed.
