The Movie (1966)[edit]
A couple of months after Season 1 finished airing, a cinematic feature film of Batman premiered in the cinemas on Saturday July 30, 1966, featuring four of the most prominent villains, and new Bat Gadgets that were enabled by the bigger budget of the film. Julie Newmar, who had played The Catwoman in Season 1, was unavailable to act in the film due to a back injury, and was replaced in the role of the Catwoman by Lee Meriwether.

Season 2 (1966–67)[edit]
Season 2 aired two episodes per week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The two episodes in a given week were a single storyline in 26 of the 30 weeks that made up Season 2. The four weeks that were the exception to this were during weeks 19-22 of the season, with three storylines that each crossed over into the following week; a three-parter, followed by a two-parter, followed by another three-parter.
Despite being the most prominent villain during Season 1, Frank Gorshin was completely absent as The Riddler during Season 2, as Gorshin was holding out for a salary increase for continuing on in the role, which the studio refused to comply with. As a result, a storyline in Season 2 that was originally intended for the Riddler was instead given to a character called The Puzzler, while another storyline later on in Season 2 saw John Astin replace Gorshin in the role of the Riddler.
After her absence in the 1966 film, Julie Newmar returned to the role of The Catwoman in Season 2, becoming the most prominent villain during the season. And although Barbara Gordon / Batgirl would not be depicted until Season 3, Barbara is discussed in the late Season 2 episodes 'Batman's Waterloo' and 'The Duo Defy', foreshadowing her debut months later.
Mr. Freeze was portrayed by George Sanders in Season 1, but Sanders was unavailable to reprise the role. As a result, Otto Preminger was cast to portray Mr. Freeze in Season 2, where Mr. Freeze was going to appear in 4 episodes. Due to tensions and difficulties on set in Preminger's two-part storyline, Eli Wallach replaced Preminger in the role of Mr. Freeze for the final two-part storyline of Season 2.

Season 3 (1967–68)[edit]
In Season 3, the format of the storylines were somewhat at variance with previous seasons. Season 3 aired just one episode per week, on Thursdays, and true multi-part stories were the exception rather than the norm. At the conclusion of each story, the guest villains of the next story would usually make an uncredited appearance in the final scene. For example, Egghead is seen riding into town, literally, at the end of 'Louie the Lilac'. A notable 'spin' on this idea were the 'linked' episodes 'Ring Around the Riddler' and 'The Wail of the Siren'. In 'Ring Around the Riddler', the Siren has an 'introductory' scene assisting the Riddler in his criminal caper and briefly mentioning having her own plans for Commissioner Gordon. Batman subsequently defeats the Riddler, and the Siren returns in the tag to start her own caper, which is the basis of 'The Wail of the Siren', really a separate story altogether.
Major cast changes during Season 3 included Yvonne Craig joining as Batgirl, Frank Gorshin returning as The Riddler as a one-episode storyline meant that Gorshin's salary demands could now be met, and Eartha Kitt replacing Julie Newmar as The Catwoman, as Newmar was working on the film Mackenna's Gold. Curiously, a body double (Marilyn Watson) in the penultimate episode 'The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra' returned the Catwoman to being Caucasian. Meanwhile, ill-health reduced Madge Blake's role as Aunt Harriet Cooper to just a couple of cameo appearances during Season 3.

Notes[edit]
- ^The billed special guest star of this story is not Roger C. Carmel (Colonel Gumm) as 'Special Guest Villain', but rather Van Williams (The Green Hornet) as 'Visiting Hero' and Bruce Lee (Kato) as 'Assistant Visiting Hero', in a crossover from their own series. The Green Hornet and Kato are suspected by the Dynamic Duo and Gotham police as being criminals, rather than crime fighters.

Hulu has released a new trailer for Batman and Bill, a documentary shedding light on Batman’s forgotten creator.
As noted in the trailer, most fans know Bob Kane as the sole creator of Batman. However, Kane’s contributions beyond the initial impulse to create a superhero who was an inversion of Superman were quite limited. It was artist Bill Finger who perfected Batman’s design, drew his stories, and added key elements to the character’s world, including Robin, the Joker, Commissioner Gordon, Gotham City, and much more.
So then how is it that Finger has been so nearly forgotten? That’s the question that Batman and Bill explores. Here’s the official description for the documentary.
Everyone thinks that Bob Kane created Batman, but that’s not the whole truth. One author makes it his crusade to seek justice for Bill Finger, a struggling writer who was the key figure in creating the iconic superhero, from concept to costume to the very character we all know and love. Bruce Wayne may be Batman’s secret identity, but his creator was always a true mystery.
Up Next: Wonder Woman Movie Trailer Gets The 1970s TV Show Treatment
The author mentioned in the description is Marc Tyler Nobleman. Batman and Billis inspired by Nobleman’s book on the subject, Bill The Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman.
While Kane has been credited as the creator of Batman in the credits of Batman comics, movies, video games, and television shows for decades, Finger only began receiving credit in 2015. He is named in the credits of Gotham and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and he began receiving credit as Batman’s co-creator in DC Comics’ Batman line of comics in late 2015.
As the trailer shows, Batman and Bill features interviews and commentary from comics history and Batman experts, including Fatman on Batman host, director Kevin Smith.
In October of 2016, Hulu offered a sneak peek at Batman and Bill at the New York Comic-Con. The event also included a question and answer session with a panel that included Nobleman, Batman movie producer Michael Uslan, Batman and Bill producer Sheena Joyce and director Don Argott, Bill Finger's granddaughter Athena Finger, and Finger family attorney Alethia Mariotta .
Batman made his original debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Though the characters have gone through several booms and busts over his more than 75-year history, the popularity of graphic novels like The Dark Knight returns and Tim Burton's Batman movie in the 1980s has made him a seemingly unassailable pillar of DC Entertainment's roster of superhero characters.
Batman and Bill will begin streaming on Hulu on May 6, 2017.

</iframe>rnHulu has released a new trailer for </span>Batman</a> and Bill</i>, a documentary shedding light on Batmanu2019s forgotten creator.</span></p>rn
As noted in the trailer, most fans know Bob Kane</a> as the sole creator of Batman. However, Kaneu2019s contributions beyond the initial impulse to create a superhero who was an inversion of Superman were quite limited. It was artist Bill Finger</a> who perfected Batmanu2019s design, drew his stories, and added key elements to the characteru2019s world, including Robin, the Joker, Commissioner Gordon, Gotham City, and much more.</span></p>rn
</div></div>So then how is it that Finger has been so nearly forgotten? Thatu2019s the question that </span>Batman and Bill</i> explores. Hereu2019s the official description for the documentary.</span></p>rn
Everyone thinks that Bob Kane created Batman, but thatu2019s not the whole truth. One author makes it his crusade to seek justice for Bill Finger, a struggling writer who was the key figure in creating the iconic superhero, from concept to costume to the very character we all know and love. Bruce Wayne may be Batmanu2019s secret identity, but his creator was always a true mystery.</i></p>rn</span></div>
