From an article here on Nerdvana, a rumor has begun that the Monkees exist in the same world as Batman (because the Penguin, Burgess Meredith, made a cameo on their show, #56). But they also include a visual by artist Alex Ross, who includes some familiar Monkeemen in the background, which means Wonder Woman's World. And probably Superman and the rest of the DC Comics universe (does that preclude Marvel? As in the Monkees cannot coexist with Spiderman, if they were to meet at a party? Like, would they all blow up or something?)
There's a more comprehensive list of Monkee/Batman references here, on Monkeestv dot tripod (which provided orginal trivia info for the DVDs of the show). Other Bat-related references include Van Johnson, Julie Newmar, Olan Soule (who teamed w/ Casey Kasem-who did Robin - as well as Shaggy on Scooby Doo!!) Frank Gorshin, Donna Loren and Valerie Kairys Venet!!
