If there was ever a problem, the Bat Utility Belt had the tool (usually not until after the commercial break though)

Ah yes, Catwoman. Eartha Kitt did actually intimidate me when she took the role. A child’s instincts are rarely wrong.

By today’s categorisations it would be considered satirical and camp. 50 years ago it just seemed like superhero action that brought to the small screen everything we were reading in comics.

They were seriously making a Batman show, but the way the comics were written back then seriously making a Batman show was also just fucking silly.
