In this 1971 PSA reminding employers to obey the federal Equal Pay Act, Batgirl refuses to defuse a bomb when she gets into a wage dispute with Batman. And here I thought crimefighting was a pro bono gig.

Incidentally, that’s not Adam West under the cowl, but Dick Gautier, the actor who played Hymie the Robot on Get Smart. To be fair to Robin, he’s forced by a monomaniacal billionaire to dress in Zorro lingerie day in, day out. He works hard for that money.
