So for years I've never been able to get a solid answer on this and hoped someone here may be able to assist. According to Wikipedia:
"Because of the success the show was enjoying, while the 65 episodes of the first season were still airing, the Fox network executives ordered a second season of 20 more episodes. Season Two featured Robin more prominently, and eleven out of the 20 episodes were given the onscreen title The Adventures of Batman & Robin.
After airing five of the 20 episodes in May 1994, the network reduced the series to airing only weekly on Saturday mornings. Ten more episodes were broadcast in this format in September–November 1994 under the Adventures of Batman & Robin title. Once these fifteen episodes had premiered (the final five were held back until September 1995), the weekday slot was restored to include reruns of the entire series, with all previous episodes being shown under the new title for all remaining airings on Fox, as well as several VHS releases."
Now, if one goes by the original DVD release of Volume Three, the following episodes feature the Batman And Robin opening and closing credits (listed in production order):
1.01: "Time Out Of Joint"
1.02: "Bane"
1.03: "Baby-Doll"
1.04: "Riddler's Reform"
1.05: "Second Chance"
1.06: "Harley's Holiday"
1.07: "Lock-Up"
1.08: "Make 'Em Laugh"
1.09: "Deep Freeze"
1.10: "Batgirl Returns"
So according to the DVD, there are only ten Batman And Robin episodes. Simple enough right? Well...
Interestingly, none of these episodes on the Blu Ray set contain the Batman and Robin opening. They all have the original BTAS one. HOWEVER, on HBOMax, these episodes DO have the Batman and Robin theme in addition to the following five episodes:
67. "A Bullet For Bullock"
71. "The Terrible Trio"
73. "Catwalk"
74. "The Lion And The Unicorn"
75. "Showdown"
So the question is, what episodes were originally intended to be The Adventures Of Batman And Robin exactly? 20 were produced, 10 used the opening on the DVD and 15 on HBOMax. I'm just trying to understand which episodes were actually supposed to be considered Batman And Robin episodes.
