A Study in Terror (1965) Pressbook

I already posted the herald for this movie, so here's the pressbook. Notice anything odd about it? What's a reference to Batman doing here? The first air date for the popular and influential Batman television series, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, was in 1966. American distributors for A Study in Terror must have thought linking Sherlock Holmes with the more campy Batman would be a good butts in seats gimmick. Wow. Great way to sell a horror movie starring two iconic figures, one fictionally good, one all too real evil.
