TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA-
Bruce Wayne has a cliffhanger at the end of this story instead of Robin, who is in the batcave.
-
Goof: Commissioner Gordon reads a report about a giant sphinx, the golden statue (with a human body and a jackal's head) in Gotham City's Central Park. However a sphinx is defined as a feline (generally a lion) with the head of a human, not the other way around.

Trivia: The week this episode aired, TVGuide magazine incorrectly named actor Robert Morley as the villain King Tut instead of Victor Buono.
-
Trivia: The ambulance was latered used as the Ghostbusters car in the 1984 movie Ghostbusters.
-
Trivia: Notice when Bruce is ready to escape from the ambulance, the interior shot shows what appears to be a set of double doors (hinges at both sides, split down the middle), yet from the outside, it's the standard single rear door that's shown.
