8. Why the Time-Split?

Batman was originally crafted as an entire hour of television to be aired consecutively. However, when it came time to put the show on the schedule, ABC discovered that it only had two separated half-hour slots available. So, the decision was made to split the show up into two half-hour segments to air in both time slots. The experiment worked, essentially establishing a cliffhanger at the beginning of the week that resolved itself during the second half of the week.
