Episodes 83 & 84
Catwoman Goes to College/Batman Displays his knowledge
Plot:Catwoman enrolls in college and organizes a massive sit in (was this episodes in the 60’s per chance?) as part of a robbery scheme
Guest Stars:Julie Newmar as Catwoman
Trivia:Final Julie Newmar episode
Niitpick:Stop me if you heard this before. The Catwoman clams to have reformed… Really guys? Oh, she frames Batman that’s new right? The villain uses a person disguised as Batman, that’s new? Hey what if we repeat the flirting we had a few episodes back almost word for word. Is that new?? By the way she apparently died last time, here she is being released from prison ??
Bat Silliness:Batman compliments Robin on a clever “Holy” line. And apparently walking under a ladder isn’t superstitious but good common sense. Alfred imitates Bruce’s voice with a typewrite and somehow Gordon doesn’t think Wayne sound a little, robotic. Apparently Gordon has considered that Bruce is Batman but he dismissed it and O’Hara thinks it makes no sense. Wow, lot of silliness in this one. And I didn’t even mention the craziness of Cyrano Jones..oops Captain Courageous. Why did I make that mistake? :)
Window Cameo: Art Linkletter
Bat Gadget:Bat Calendar, Bat Hair Analyzer, it truly is amazing how Batman manages to perfect these things just in time for him to need them.
Bat Trap:Sigh. So there’s a mechanical billboard of a coffee pitcher filling a cup. The duo are put in to be scalded with sulfuric acid. At least the escape makes sense. We also get a meta line when Robin comments how they get into these traps like someone is dreaming them up or something.
Final Thoughts:Guess Catwoman didn’t die since when the episode starts she had finished rehabilitation in prison. Catwoman announces she is going back to college. As I noted she frames Batman and he is arrested. Somehow Catwoman’s mole is able to imitate Batman’s voice perfectly, and no it is never explained. Batman is arrested when the imposter commits a crime we never see. Batman and Alfred changes places in a goofy scene where make up makes Bruce look like Alfred, I mean exactly. It’s pointless. Catwoman is after Opals’s that arrive in Gotham every year. Then we get a fencing scene because why the heck not. And what happened to the college stuff in Part 2? It’s Catwoman trying to sell the opal’s and no one buying. Turns out Batman switched the jewels and Catwoman tries to get her revenge. We end up with the biggest flirting scene we’d get...end episode.
Grade:C, I love Newmar but I think we had to much Catwoman this season. The episode meanders until it finally finds a plot. When they find it, the episode drags and drags. And when are villains gonna learn Batman is always prepared?
