Under the "Dating Catwoman" trope someone added that Batgirl was added "specifically" to avoid issues surrounding a black actress being recast as Catwoman. I removed it because I cannot find anything to support that this was why Batgirl was cast, especially given that Catwoman only appears in a handful of Season 3 episodes and Batgirl was most decidedly not introduced as someone for Batman to romance! I know we're pretty easy going about sourcing information, but this one felt was so factually suspect I had to remove it.

Look at how cheesy Batman's costume looks. Batman's costume in the comics was sort of like armor; in the series it was a corny polyester cape and cowl with eyebrows drawn on, and the bat insignia looks like a decal he stuck on his shirt.

Yes, and? This page is for discussing trope examples, not random thoughts you happen to have.
Changed the No Name Given list examples. It originally said "Even King Tut's harmless professor alter ego was never given a name beyond "Professor." This is incorrect, because the alter ego did have a name: William McElroy. I added this fact to the next line, about the Mad Hatter having a real name.

I don't know about Harmless Freezing as in each case it was either deadly or nearly so. Deadly particularly in the First Freeze episode, when it sounds as if the victim shattered. The nearly so in the a later episode where Freeze freezes Commisioner Gordon's office and it looks like they where near death.
I hate to nitpick here, but The Brave and the Bold is just as campy, unless I have a drastically incorrect definition of camp.
that thing about the theme song being instrumental is disputed. Adam West says it's true, but the people who actually worked on the music of the show deny it.
