Great quality but the eyebrows on the cowl look so strange and so different to each other. Does anyone know more info on this cowl?

Throughout the course of the show eyebrows as irregular as these were particularly common place. The show's costume designer Jan Kemp always blamed the hectic nature of the production schedule and subsequent fast turn around times on items as heavily used as the cowls on some of the "looser" paint jobs and finishing touches. I think Chuck would have an opinion on this, but if I was to place an educated guess, I would say this commercial was shot late season one/early season two.

Yep, I think it's the one worn during the episode where Batman and Robin are under the influence of "Catafrenic" sp. The close up in the Batcave with Catwoman.

It's also see on the cover of Adam West Remembers Batman...

Just the standard wonky! They got the nose nice and straight but then they missed on the brows!! :lol:
