ADD NOTES
- For the scene of Robin strapped to the clapper of Big Benjamin, the giant bell in the Wayne Memorial Clock Tower, art director Serge Krizman recalled building a belfry well set that was 40-feet high. "I couldn't find a bronze bell that was eight-feet high so it had to be made all out of plastics," said Krizman. Cinematographer Howie Schwartz had to resort to a 9.5mm wide-angle lens to get it all in.

- It was often stated that Joan Crawford played The Printer's Devil in these episodes; however, this occurred due to a goof by one book which misspelled actor John Crawford's name, and many TV trivia and info books have since used this particular volume for reference without even questioning its error!
