Episodes of “Batman”? BATMAN???!
(Holy cow, I’ll never live long enough to see all the surprises there are left in the world, honestly.)
Somebody needs to tell me what it was like with her on the show.

All I know is that Tallulah played the Black Widow.
You can watch clips on YouTube.

Well, now that the show is finally available to us, does anyone happen to know *which* episodes of "Batman" she appeared in? (Seasons, episode names, airdates, etc.?)
Season 2, Episode 55 "Black Widow Strikes Again" aired March 15, 1967*
Season 2, Episode 56 "Caught in the Spider's Den" aired March 16, 1967*
*per IMDB and subject to being wrong.

Here are a few interesting Bankhead-isms from the IMDB:
"She was infamous for not wearing underwear. According to Hume Cronyn, during the filming of Lifeboat (1944) the crew complained about her flashing them when she had to climb a ladder to go into the mock-up of a lifeboat. When their objections to Bankhead's exhibitionism reached director Alfred Hitchcock, he reportedly quipped that he did not know if it was a matter for wardrobe or hairdressing."
"Her role as the Black Widow on the television series Batman (1966) is the last on-screen appearance she made."
"She smoked 150 cigarettes a day."
If you've never seen Hitchcock's Lifeboat, I think it's a must-see.
Tallulah is buried in Church Hill, Maryland.
I visited her gravesite once.

And she got paid 20 g's for them.

No she didn't. Guest villains on Batman received only $4000 or $2000 per half hour show. In fact, the reason why Frank Gorshin didn't appear at all during the second season as the Riddler (despite being the breakout star of the group) was because he insisted on more money for appearing that executive producer William Dozier refused to give him because it would have meant raising the budget for all guest villains. After being replaced by John Astin in one episode in Season 2, Gorshin did come back in Season 3 when the rate was by then $3000 for a single half hour episode. Whoever posted that $20,000 info on imdb doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Gorshin did come back in Season 3"
BATMAN lasted THREE seasons?
REALLY?

I can tell you: it were two awful episodes. The only fun thing was when Burt Ward had to pretend he was Black Widow in disguise.
D.S.
Not even for camp value? Dang.
I'd still kinda like to see what I'll need to do when I'm in my sixties if I want to earn 20 G's for a couple of day's work.
