I haven't seen Batman's third season in many years, despite having DVD copies years before the official set was released. TBH, I've only lazily watched the rebroadcast versions on MeTV. They run the first two seasons and the first episode from season 3. I assume it has something to do with the syndication package they licensed.
First- Eartha Kitt really was the best Catwoman in the series.
I've always favored Julie Newmar's performance but I've also always known that was partially based on how absolutely stunning she is. I still think she did a great job in the role, especially with her tortured attraction to Batman. Kitt had to stand out in a single episode and had to share time with the great Caesar Romero and she did a great job inhabiting the role. Like a lot of other characters in the series, she did not choose to reflect the comic book representation but instead delivered an over-the-top version that fit well into the campy, over-the-top show.
Second- I don't think Batgirl ever punched anybody.
I did remember thinking that she only ever mounted a table or something raised and kicked people. That was incorrect as she does use other objects as weapons and even once grappling with Eartha Kitt's Catwoman. Well, grappling might be an exaggeration. She grabs wrists with Catwoman before shoving her into the restraining arms of Chief O'Hara. I'm not done with the season yet, so maybe she'll clobber someone yet. Did I miss her single punch?
