The 1966 Batman TV show brought together tights, gadgets, and high camp — and somehow still had room for rock stars, pop icons, and lounge legends. These musical guests made their mark on Gotham City with charm, wit, and a whole lot of star power. Each cameo felt like a crossover event between Saturday morning cartoons and your favorite record collection.
Chad & Jeremy
The British duo arrived in Gotham as themselves, only to have their voices swiped by Catwoman. A plotline that perfectly matched the swinging sound of the times with comic-book mischief.
Lesley Gore
Pop sensation Lesley Gore played Pussycat, one of Catwoman’s stylish sidekicks. She sang, she schemed, and she gave Gotham an extra blast of bubblegum soul.
Van Johnson
Hollywood favorite Van Johnson appeared as The Minstrel, a musically-minded villain with a fondness for scientific sabotage. His melodies carried menace, wrapped in perfect harmony.
Art Carney
Carney took on the role of The Archer, a medieval-themed outlaw with an eye for loot and flair. His appearance combined classic TV charisma with a nod to folk storytelling.
Sammy Davis Jr.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Davis greeted Batman and Robin from his window while rehearsing a number. He complimented their act, adding a cool wink to the world of crime-fighting.
Don Ho
Don Ho brought Hawaiian sunshine to Gotham in Season 2. He offered commentary on the Bat-Rope’s usefulness for collecting coconuts and made the Batcave feel just a little more tropical.
Liberace
Dressed in sequins and seated behind twin grand pianos, Liberace played both concert pianist Chandell and his criminal twin Harry. He lit up the screen with every ivory key he touched.
Rudy Vallee
Vallee portrayed Lord Ffogg, a villain with a fog machine and refined taste. His stage presence carried the charm of a 1930s bandleader dressed for royal troublemaking.
Vincent Price
As Egghead, Price delivered perfect diction and endless egg puns. He embraced every syllable with delight, bringing theatrical gravitas to yolk-based criminal plots.
Eartha Kitt
With elegance and authority, Eartha Kitt stepped into the role of Catwoman and added a jazz-infused, commanding energy. Her voice, moves, and gaze left an imprint on the series and its fans.
