Notes

• Art Carney (The Archer) is best known for his role of Ed Norton on The Honeymooners.
• Alfred was known as "the William Tell of Liverpool" and is an expert with the long-, short-, and crossbow.
• Episode production numbers appear at the end of the show's end credits throughout this season.
• A villain named "the Archer" first appeared in Superman #13 (November–December 1941). The criminal wore a green archer's costume and worked alone, extorting money from wealthy victims whom he would murder if they refused to pay.
• Dick Clark makes an appearance while Batman & Robin are climbing down a wall. Batman does not recognize him but says he must be from Philadelphia by his accent.
• Beginning this season, all of the onomatopoeia which appear during the climactic fight sequences were inserted in between shots, as opposed to being superimposed over the footage (like the first season and the movie), due to cutting down the massive budget devoted to camera and art work.
• Howie Horwitz's producing credit is now moved from the end credits to the episode sub-main title sequence.
