DC COMICS: Batman '66 (Batman s3 ep 14 Catwoman)

Batman '66 in the Media

CATWOMAN'S DRESSED TO KILL:
The Catwoman targets the fashion industry by first terrorizing a banquet honoring Batgirl and then attacking a fashion show. During the attack on the fashion show, Catwoman captures Batgirl and takes her back to her hideout where she threatens to kill her with a pattern cutter. She then tells Batman that if he attempts to rescue her that it will leave the visiting Queen Bess of Bellgravia vulnerable for attack. Now the Caped Crusader must find a way to save Batgirl and prevent any harm to Queen Bess.

MONITOR'S NOTES: Bat-Trivia

 * Eartha Kitt took over the role of Catwoman in the final season because Julie Newmar was busy filming Mackenna's Gold (1969).


 * This was Eartha Kitt's first appearance as Catwoman, and she had an entirely different approach to it from Julie Newmar. Not only did Kitt's Catwoman have more of an aggressive edge, but, due to the racial attitudes of the times, the unrequited crush that Newmar's character had on Batman had to be eliminated entirely.


 * While pretending to get out of the yellow net thrown over himself and Robin, Batman accidentally pulls it too high and the actor quickly pulls it back down to cover himself.
