Batman Cartoon 1968 - The Joke's on Robin

In this shorter episode, Robin suddenly becomes clumsy with the devices in his utility belt — thanks to the Joker! When, thinking he must be overworked, Robin decides to take a rest, Batgirl steps in to help Batman, and the two of them are promptly captured by the Joker. He ties them both up in the giant gears of a clock mechanism, set to mesh...and MASH...at midnight!

Some voices:
Batman: Olan Soulé
Robin: Casey Kasem
Batgirl: Jane Webb
Narrator: Ted Knight (2 years BEFORE "Mary Tyler Moore")
Joker: according to different sources, either Ted Knight as well, or Larry Storch (who received no on-screen voice credit)

TVLand once stated that Olan Soulé voiced Batman on Radio in the 1940's, but this is in dispute. TVLand has been known to make mistakes. We do know that Filmation's voice of Superman in their 1966 cartoons, Bud Collyer, DID voice Superman on Radio in the 40's.

Who did Batgirl's voice in this cartoon? Was it still Melindy Britt?

@tomaspeverell That's because back in the day, this cartoon was governed by Network Standards and Practices which prohibited punching, and using guns, although ray guns could be used because they don't exist.

I'm sorry but this is terrible. Batman the animated series is WAY better,
