"The Duo Defy"
(prod. #9759-Pt. 2) first aired first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as the 94th episode of Batman.

These episodes wrapped up a rather hectic and lengthy (60 episodes!!!!!!) second season for Batman. It also retained the third and final appearance of Mr. Freeze in the series (played this time by Eli Wallach).

The series' final Batclimb featured Carpet King, a cameo earned supposedly for selling producer Bill Dozier some Persian rugs.

The episode edits footage from the 1966 Batman movie of The Dynamic Duo flying in The Batcopter.

Commisioner Gordon once more gives mention of his daughter, Barbara, in this episode. Although she debuted in the comics a few months before ("The Million Dollar Debut Of Batgirl" in Detective Comics #359, January 1967), she had yet to debut on the TV series.
