Season 3: 1967-1968

In Season 3, the format of episodes was somewhat at variance with previous seasons. At the conclusion of many stories, the guest villains of the next story would make an uncredited appearance in the final scene. For example, Egghead is seen riding into town, literally, at the end of "Louie, the Lilac". A notable "spin" on this idea were the "linked" episodes "Ring Around the Riddler" and "The Wail of the Siren". In "Ring Around the Riddler", the Siren has an "introductory" scene assisting the Riddler in his criminal caper and briefly mentioning having her own plans for Commissioner Gordon. Batman
