    Love this episode. I was 10 yrs old.
    Big crush on Robin,Burt Ward. He came to a department store for autograph signing
    I got his picture and autograph. It was on my wall. I lost everything in fire. But I still have my precious memories
    I'm disabled and old now. But I love watching this video. Leslie Gore was one of my favorite girl singers. Fond childhood memories.

    I was a young boy singing along with Leslie on my transistor radio. Here I am at 66, singing along with her again on my I phone. Yup, tears in my eyes, gone but never forgotten.
    RIP Leslie Gore😥😥⚘⚘

    Julie Newmar was the best Catwoman and Batman had a huge crush on her! She was tall and gorgeous! I remember Leslie Gore singing this in a 1967 episode! Cit was January 19 I believe. What a great show! These episode are on MeTV on Saturdays! I give Julie Newmar so much credit as she gave up acting to care for her son who had some physical challenges. God bless you Julie!

    It's hard to pick a favorite Lesley Gore song. However, if I had to pick only one masterpiece of her career, it would be this one. Oddly enough, this one was not written or produced by Quincy Jones. It is Marvin Hamlisch and the Four Seasons' producers, Gaudio and Crewe, who put this together and they deserve our thanks. Beautiful job, all around.

    The only episode of Batman that turned into a Musical. Leslie comes out in the middle of the show and starts singing ' California Nights'. The episode was in 1967, the year I graduated from the GREAT Allen Park High School. Leslie played Pussy Cat, Cat Woman's assistant. Think a thought for the Great Leslie Gore. One of the best Balladeer's of the 1960's. Rob McLellan

    This is the first Lesley Gore song I listened to on Batman. I wasn't born when California Nights came out in early 1967. I believe this was her last top hit. I seen Batman as reruns. I was 13 when I seen this episode in the summer of 1989.
    I never get tired of listening to Lesley and watching Batman, my late friend would agree.
    Anything from the past will always live on.

      Well, I watched this episode in 1967. I had a deal with my Dad. I would watch Rat Patrol with him and he would watch Batman with me. I now remember this and wish I could go back in time and get to watch both those TV shows with my Dad, all over again. Ha passed away 20 years ago this year. Funny, my dad told me that he really liked this two part Batman segment the best of all the shows. Me TO! RIP Lesley. I was 9 years old in that 1967 January. Loved you then. Miss you now. To all that don't know.....Ms. Gore had the reputation of being the most gracious Star in Hollywood at time. She never had a bad word to say about anyone...ever. That's true STARDOM!
