While the clerk is telling Shame how much it costs, Shame loads the gun and instructs the clerk to "stick 'em up." The clerk complies, commenting "I had a funny feeling you were gonna say that."

** An inverted example: in the second Shame storyline, Hermione Baddeley doesn't try too hard to cover up her English accent while portraying (presumably American) Frontier Fanny. Meanwhile, Creator/BarryDennen plays a Mexican ''bandito'' whose whole character is one big {{Brownface}} joke, down to the English accent and his initials spelling out "FRED."

With its intentionally absurd writing (particularly Batman's array of Bat-Gadgets, which seemed large enough to cater for [[CrazyPrepared any given situation]] -- the legendary Shark-Repellent Batspray comes to mind) and low budget, this was more like a televised {{pantomime}}/vaudeville/burlesque than anything resembling portrayals of superheroes in modern day media. The series managed to become something of a cultural icon, but it is also partly responsible for the general public's dim view of comic book writing and comics in general today, as even [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks at the time]] comic book writing was taken far more seriously.

* DatingCatwoman: Only fitting considering Catwoman was played by Julie Newmar. Meow, indeed. Compared to other takes on the Bat-mythos, it's actually kind of subverted, or at least one-sided. Newmar's Catwoman is colder and crueler than just about any other incarnation of the character (a holdover from UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks, where the UsefulNotes/ComicsCode forbade villains to look too sympathetic), and regularly arranges violent deathtraps for the man she supposedly loves. When she does show attraction to Batman, it's more the StalkerWithACrush kind (in one episode her deathtrap-du-jour is designed to more or less ''lobotomize'' Batman, with the implication that she plans to keep him as a sex slave afterwards). This disappears entirely once Eartha Kitt steps into Catwoman's boots.

The {{irony}} is that, given the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks state of the comics at the time of the TV series]], this was a very accurate adaptation, or even DarkerAndEdgier.[[note]]For example, the second episode has a character die by ''falling into a nuclear reactor'', a more gruesome end than anything that would've been depicted in the comics at the time.[[/note]] It was only in later adaptations that Batman would be SeriousBusiness.
