Oscar Rudolph directs for the first time. He directed a total of 36 episodes and 30 of the final 52 which was the most of any of the 19 directors credited on the series. (edit) Instead of a deathtrap, Batman and Robin drive the Batmobile unaware of a bomb underneath the engine. (edit) The actual Batmobile couldn't travel faster than 45 mph! (edit) Milton Berle (seen here as Lefty) will be seen as Louie The Lilac in Season 3. (edit)

Batman: This criminal record is incredible. How, gentlemen, how has this Ma Parker remained at large?
Gordon: She's crafty. She's clever but most of all, she's motherly.
(edit) Batman: Ma Parker's girl is more dangerous than her three boys.
Robin: Her legs reminded me of Catwoman's.
Batman: You're growing up, Robin. But remember, in crimefighting always keep your sights raised.

Ma Parker and her felonious family is based loosely on for-real gangstress Kate "Ma" Barker and her sons Herman, Lloyd, Arthur and Fred. They teamed up with Alvin Karpis and several other criminals forming The Barker-Karpis Gang which rampaged across the Midwest from 1931 to 1935. (edit)

A visual allusion to famous gangster film Public Enemy is the scene in which Mad Dag pushes a grapefruit into the face of Legs.
In Public Enemy, James Cagney caused public outcry when his character pushed half a grapefruit into the face of Mae Clarke.
