Egghead has figured out that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Oddly enough, he doesn't say a single word about Dick Grayson being Robin!
Narrator: How diabolical!!! How inhuman!!! How EGGscrutiating!!! Will the world's greatest criminal mind EGGstract the true identity of Batman??? The EGGsplanation to these and other electric questions tomorrow!!! Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel!!!
(Infected by Egghead's laughing gas) Robin: It's the funniest thing anyone has ever pulled on us. Batman: Yes, it's even more funny than The Joker.
Robin: Prepare yourself for an eggs peditious defeat! Batman: Very apt, Robin. Robin: Oh. Glad you liked it.
Vincent Price appeared with fellow Bat-villain Carolyn Jones in the 1953 movie House of Wax.
Actor Ben Weldon appeared in another comic book superhero series playing Spade in the Adventures of Superman.
This is the first appearance of Vincent Price as Egghead. Ironically, Egghead was not a DC Comics villain. He was based off of Marvel Comics Egghead who was a foe of original Ant-Man, Henry Pym.
The Narrator calls Egghead "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind", a phrase which would later become the title and theme song for Vincent Price's character Ratigan in the 1986 animated Disney movie The Great Mouse Detective.
The title of this episode alludes to the 1943 novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith which was made into the 1945 movie starring Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell & James Dunn and also made it as a Broadway musical in 1951.
