The producers could had done a great episode if they had brought back Black Widow during the third season. While Batman and Robin are fighting her henchmen, Black Widow short circuits Batgirl's brain and turns her against The Dynamic Duo. Since Batman and Robin don't fight women, Batgirl easily overpowers them and then goes on a crime spree with Black Widow.
Of all the female villains, Black Widow was my favorite. I liked Catwoman's "The Purr Fect Crime." But the love/hate relationship got kind of old after too many episodes
@allanfisch Maybe you are in love with her? I am since I saw "Lifeboat" for the first time. I was approx. 14 and now I'm 52. The only way to take her out of my mind is a shotgun ...
This was her last acting performance. I seem to remember reading somewhere that she kept making sexual advances toward the boy wonder while she was there, She was a self confessed drug user and bi-sexual but still one of this countries best actresses.
Tallulah was a senior citizen by the time she made this: about 65 years old. But she wasn't "ancient". Unfortunately, her lifestyle (which resulted in emphysema and long-term drug use) was showing on her. Still, she is a class act to watch in this episode. Thank you for posting and hopefully this series will soon (finally) be released on DVD.
the black widow was one of my favorite villains on this show. i loved the way tallulah exaggerated certain words as in "bat-Dahl" (doll) in her speech and that's how she talked in real life too.

the bank teller black widow was talking to was that walker edmiston

I read that when Tallulah put on the slacks for her costume they were so tight that she said: There goes one ball.
That's my girl! xo
