In the episode Hi Diddle Riddle, the Riddler attempted to steal the Batmobile only to be foiled by the Anti-Bat-Theft. This time he finally succeeds. (edit) Joe E. Tata went on to become best known for playing the character, Nat, the owner of the Peach Pit on Beverly Hills, 90210 which ran from October 1990 to May 2000. (edit) These segments apparently took place before Mayor Lindseed's election, as a different mayor is in office in these episodes. (edit) This is Frank Gorshin's 5th appearance as the Riddler. He was previously seen in Hi Diddle Riddle, Smack in the Middle, A Riddle a Day Keeps the Riddler Away & When the Rat's Away the Mice Will Play. (edit) Based on "A Hairpin, A Hoe, A Hacksaw, A Hole in the Ground!" from Batman #53 (July 1949) by Bill Finger. (edit)

Riddler: If they want a life-like replica of their precious Batman for the Wax Museum, we'll give it to them. We'll even throw in a dividend. Robin!
Batman: You fiend!
Riddler: Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. (edit) Riddler: As you can see by the deadly weapons we hold, you'd be fools to move.
Batman: What are you doing here, Riddler?
Riddler: Checking out a book.
Robin: Checking out a book?!
Riddler: Exactly, Boy Wonder.
Robin: (looking at the book title) The Lost Treasure of the Incas. What's Riddler up to?
Batman: Who knows? You'll never get away with this, Riddler!
Riddler: Would you like to make a little wager?
Batman: I never gamble. (edit) The Riddler: Surprise, surprise! (giggles) What is black and white and red all over? My illustrious friends, if that little riddle was too hard for you, why here's another: what has branches and leaves and no bark? (edit)

Linda Gaye Scott is the heiress to the Scott paper company. (edit) Trivia: If you look closely at Moth's outfit, it resembles a prototype outfit of what Batgirl would wear in the third season. (edit)

The Riddler: 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.

The Riddler quotes Voltaire while he melts the wax figure of Batman in a vat of boiling wax as his moll Moth looks on. (edit)
