<P> The series used a narrator (executive producer William Dozier, uncredited) who parodied both the breathless narration style of the 1940s serials and Walter Winchell's bombastic narration of The Untouchables . He would end many of the cliffhanger episodes by intoning, "Tune in tomorrow--same Bat - time, same Bat - channel!" In the episodes following cliffhangers, recaps of the previous episode consisted of a series of short phrases from Dozier accompanying short, silent clips of the prior episode, which usually ending in a freeze - frame . In the third season, when single - episode stories were introduced, the narrator would end the show by encouraging viewers to tune in the following week . </P> <P> During the climactic fistfights in each episode, the punches and other impacts were punctuated by onomatopoeia (sound effects) superimposed in bright colors over the action on the screen, as in comic - book fight scenes ("POW!", "BAM!", "ZONK!", etc .). As a money saving device, after the first season, instead of being superimposed over the fight scene, the sound effects were merely printed on cards and inserted into the action . </P> <P> Despite the regular fighting on the show, Batman and Robin typically use non-lethal force; only three criminal characters die during the series: the Riddler's moll Molly (played by Jill St. John in the pilot episode), who accidentally falls into the Batcave's atomic reactor, and two out - of - town gunmen who shoot at Batman and Robin, but kill each other instead, toward the end of "Zelda The Great / A Death Worse Than Fate". In the film, six criminals die in total: Five henchmen are dehydrated by the Penguin in order to infiltrate the Batcave, but this plan fails when the henchmen unexpectedly disappear into antimatter once struck . A sixth henchman is presumably killed when he is caught in a trap meant for Batman and sprung into an exploding octopus . Twice, the Catwoman (Julie Newmar) appears to fall to her death (into a bottomless pit and from a high building into a river), but returned in later episodes . In "Instant Freeze", Mr. Freeze freezes a butler solid and knocks him over, and sound - effects suggest that he is shattered into pieces . A later reference suggests the butler survived . In "Green Ice", Mr. Freeze freezes a policeman solid; it is left unclear whether he survived . In "The Penguin's Nest", a policeman suffers an electric shock at the hands of the Penguin's accomplices, but he is presumed to survive, as he appears in some later episodes . </P> <P> A catch - phrase popularized by the series was Robin's saying "Holy (subject), Batman!" whenever he encountered something startling . This phrase was parodied in the 1995 film Batman Forever . </P>
