* The Riddler fires a missile to send his latest riddles by smoke signal. (ItMakesSenseInContext). The missile also shoots the Batcopter down. After they land safely at a foam rubber convention, they solve the riddles. They need a way to stop the villains:
--> '''Robin:''' Wow! Let's commandeer a taxi! \\
'''Batman:''' No, Robin! Not at this time of day. Luckily, we're in tip-top condition. It'll be faster if we run. Let's go!

* While fighting off the baddies out-of-costume, Bruce Wayne knocks one goon onto a spring-loaded catapult and sends him flying out the window (as a stiff dummy) and into the sea. [[MadeOfExplodium The goon then explodes]]. (The trap, intended for Batman, catapulted the goon into an Exploding Octopus which the Penguin had prepared offscreen. Again, not that this makes any more sense.)

** Best part is Penguin [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow knows they know]], but has an ace up his sleeve in the form of dehydrated henchmen. Unfortunately, he had no way of knowing that the Batcave uses soft water, which causes the henchmen to ''instantly disappear'' with a cartoon sound upon being struck. Then Batman goes into a short speech about the value and fragility of life. {{Bathos}} at its finest.
** And speaking of paper-thin disguises, earlier on, Batman goes on a date with Ms. Kitka. He makes Alfred tail them in the Batmobile (because Robin's too young to drive, of course.) Alfred's crime-fighter costume is just a black bandanna with eyeholes over his regular clothes, making it hilariously obvious that he's just Bruce Wayne's butler in a mask. Driving Batman's car. No big deal.

** To be fair, all of those riddles were actual riddles back then and didn't originate with the show. There were whole books of elephant jokes and banana jokes and similar weirdness.
