• The film is based on comics by Bob Kane about the superheroes Batman and Robin.
• The film was made on the wave of success of the first season of the television series "Batman" (1966-1968).
• Adam West received a fee of $100,000 for his role as Batman.
• Lee Meriwether, the winner of the 1955 Miss America pageant, replaced Julie Newmar in the role of Catwoman in the television series of the same name.
• The film was shot between two seasons of the series, with the second season filmed before this film but released on screens only the following year.
• At the end of the film, one of the convention delegates bangs a shoe on the table. This is, naturally, a parody of Nikita Khrushchev, who did the same at the United Nations General Assembly in 1960.
