This ep more fully explores the "WOman" side of CatWOman... Her 3rd appearance, the writer Stanley Ralph Ross fleshes out the character beyond the cartoon-comic book level, while at the same time aggrandizes her to a Mythic level... All thru the ep at every step Batman loses to her, but even tho she wins out at the end, she gives up, because in spite of her Dominance and his obvious defeat, he defends the innate goodness that makes Batman so special... She can't dominate him any more than she already has unless she kills him, and at this point she lets her feelings for him dictate her behavior... We actually see her relent from being a FemmeDom because she is so successful at being one... In the real life interplay between the sexes, dominance is momentary & fleeting, and an "equal" relationship is established when both sides know when to give in and let the other have his / her way... Much of the "Battles of the Sexes" in 50s / 60s media was due to the repression of WOmen and them having to prove to men that they can be superior... CatWOman has proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt and from here-on (save the anomaly of the Sandman appearance) her character will become more of a caricature of a FemmeDom, alternating with a hokey desire to be Batman's lover...

Has there ever been a 1-hit wonder like Sharyn Wynters? Any guy that sees her instantly goes: wow! But she doesn't really do anything in the eps, shows no great acting ability, and doesn't have much of career to follow-up on... She does add to the aura, further developed in the "Pussycat" episode, that CatWOman is a role model for younger Femmes and that she is training them to be powerful... And in some ways she's the epitome of Batman's presentation of FantasyFemmes: even the obscure can be decked out in a riveting costume and made to seem gorgeous beyond belief... 

By this point you have to start wondering how B&R keep letting themselves fall into the clutches of CatWOman, and you have to suspect that somewhere along the line B&R are masochists and enjoy being knocked-out and tortured by her... While not a popularly known practice at the time of the series, it is now widely known that men pay WOmen to treat them badly, and again, one wonders how much the S&M phenomena was influenced by Batman...

High C writes: "The appearance of Sharyn Wynters as Eenie is a head-scratcher more puzzling than anything Riddler ever devised. What, exactly, was she doing in this episode? Obviously, not much, as WOmWAm has pointed out. But what was Stanley Ralph Ross thinking? Why would Catwoman need a moll? (Eenie does no henchgal-type stuff, other than wielding a weapon at one point.) Was SRR trying to imply some kind of lesbian relationship between her and Catwoman? Very unlikely, of course, but it leaves you wondering.

Certainly, it appears as if there may have been more to this character than what was seen on the screen. Wynters’ uninspiring line readings may have led to some of her other lines being cut. For instance, when Catwoman puts B&R in a noisy trap designed to reduce their brains to mush and make them mindless servants, the narrator asks if Robin will be nothing more than a “cuddly teddy bear for Eenie.” Funny, because Eenie never even suggests that she’s mildly interested in the Boy Boner.

If her performance had been more memorable, Wynters would be recalled as one of the most beautiful of all henchgals/molls. Instead, she’s a curious footnote."
