Hi Diddle Riddle (Original Airdate: January 12, 1966)
In the series debut, the Prince of Puzzlers (Frank Gorshin as The Riddler) diabolically tricks the Dynamic Duo in order to sue them for false arrest, have them unmasked in court, and thus reveal their true identities.

Smack In The Middle (Original Airdate: January 13, 1966)
With Batman incapacitated by Molly, and Robin kidnapped by Riddler, it's no laughing matter when the heist of priceless postage stamps is Riddler's real play for his getaway.

Fine Feathered Finks (Original Airdate: January 19, 1966)
Veteran actor Burgess Meredith makes his debut as one of Batman's most treacherous foes, and fresh out of prison Penguin and his foul finks waste no time wreaking havoc and tricking our Caped Crusaders into helping them commit their crime.

The Penguin's A Jinx (Original Airdate: January 20, 1966)
We last left Batman facing an inflammatory end over Penguin's flapping, but can a clever escape and ransom decoy put Penguin and his birdbrains back on ice?

The Joker Is Wild (Original Airdate: January 26, 1966)
Just when you thought Gotham was safe again, along comes Joker — the Clown Prince Of Crime (Cesar Romero as The Joker) — who fashions a devilish utility belt of his own to help Batman and Boy Wonder take a powder.

Batman Is Riled (Original Airdate: January 27, 1966)
The Joker isn't clowning around as he plots more mayhem around the christening of the S.S. Gotham, and our Dynamic Duo play a little possum to bring him to justice.

Instant Freeze (Original Airdate: February 2, 1966)
There's the chill of chicanery in the air as Mr. Freeze (George Sanders) eyes the ice — diamonds that is! With his flame-freeze gun, he turns Batman and Robin into living popsicles to escape capture.

Rats Like Cheese (Original Airdate: February 3, 1966)
Thankfully, Gotham's Hospital de-ices our Dynamic Duo, but things get frostier with Mr. Freeze when he kidnaps a star pitcher. Cooler heads must prevail, along with thermal underwear, to melt Mr. Freeze into submission.

Zelda The Great (Original Airdate: February 9, 1966)
The art of escape is perfected in Zelda The Great (Ann Baxter) as an April Fools' heist leads to Aunt Harriet's kidnapping. Holy backfires! Batman and Robin have one hour to rescue her from boiling oil.

A Death Worse Than Fate (Original Airdate: February 10, 1966)
The Doom-Trap is set even as Aunt Harriet is safely returned for the ransom, and Zelda has a change of heart. It's the truth about bats that lure Batman and Robin into an inescapable fate.

A Riddle A Day Keeps The Riddler Away (Original Airdate: February 16, 1966)
Riddler returns with a vengeance and puzzles on top of puzzles as a visiting King Boris disappears. The Dynamic Duo smash into a bone-crunching bind as they give chase.

When The Rat's Away The Mice Will Play (Original Airdate: February 17, 1966)
Not so fast Riddler, you haven't beaten our heroes yet! After escaping the drive shaft debacle, Batman and Robin try out-riddling rivals and some Biff, Pow, and Zlopp to exact justice.
