The Duo Defy (2)

Episode Number: 94    Season Num: 2    First Aired: March 30, 1967    Prod Code: 9759-Pt. 2
When it seems that Batman & Robin are no more, bust still fears that he will be discovered, Freeze and crew returns to his iceberg. But The Dynamic Duo escape the terrible cabinet by an emergence exit, and, after waiting until The Frozen Fiend has departed, make their appearance via Isodle's sealhouse. Freeze, meanwhile, in his iceberg hideout (which is hidden among many other icebergs floating in the Gotham Harbor) has managed to syphen the formula from Professor Isaacson and builds the deadly Ice-Ray, intending to freeze all of Gotham City and the entire country! To prove his word, he ices down various parts of Gotham.

At Batman's behest, Commissioner Gordon has a Small Echoing Seal Pulsator placed on Mr. Freeze's trained wonder-seal Isolde, and releases her into Gotham Harbor. Then, tracing the seal back to Mr. Freeze's hideout in The Batcopter, The Dynamic Duo rescue Prof. Isaacson. Freeze tries to render the heroes immobile with his Freeze Gun, but it proves to be no match for their Super-Thermalized Batskivvies! Following the ensuing Batfight, the Gotham authorities, also led straight to Freeze's glacier-hideout, arrive in time to round up the cold-hearted criminals before they can escape to sea in their Ice-Sub, and place them on ice — in jail. Later, Bruce, Dick, Aunt Harriet and Alfred relax by playing with racing cars.

NEXT WEEK: a repeat of the very first Batman broadcast, a show which gave television a big breath of fresh air! If you missed it then, don't miss it next week!

Notes

add »
Commisioner Gordon once more gives mention of his daughter, Barbara, in this episode. Although she debuted in the comics a few months before (January 1967), she had yet to debut on the TV series. (edit)
The second season of Batman generated a rather large number of episodes to be produced for a TV series within a single season: 60! (edit)
Once again, the series edits footage from the 1966 Batman movie of The Dynamic Duo flying in The Batcopter. (edit)
Eli Wallach is the third and final actor to portray Mr. Freeze (after George Sanders and Otto Preminger) on Batman. (edit)
The series' final Batclimb featured Carpet King, a cameo earned supposedly for selling producer Bill Dozier some Persian rugs. (edit)
