When I was about 5 years old I was terrified of the Riddler coming through the wall with the elephant mask as I thought he killed all those people with gas. I was scared in my classroom at school he would come down a chute through the classroom wall ; I was REALLY scared
I have watched this episode 13 times in the last 24 months. It is one of the very best, along with The Joker is Wild. So riveting, so much detail, so creative.
God...ignoring the creepy scenes with Dick watching Bruce dancing, the scenes with Bruce ACTUALLY dancing or crying out drunkenly...Frank Gorshin is astounding and sinister and this episode actually gets CLOSE in that respect to comic book Batman.
When the Riddler put the elephant mask on and was inside the duct, I wonder what he was REALLY saying. It's obvious the original track was dubbed over.
I saw this as a toddler on TV in '66. I lived near Washington DC were there is the Museum of Natural History. There is a wholly mamouth there and I thought Batman was gonna pop out of it like he does here.
I was being sarcastic, being that Batman is a law abiding crimefighter and a death occured in the Batcave, he should call Commissioner Gordon to investigate...... i realize no one knows where the Batcave is....just sarcastically commenting
Why? With the trust that Batman had, simply his word to describe what happened, and that she was a criminal, and that she accidentally fell in, that would be sufficient.
riddle me this riddle me that who is a fraid of the big black bat ? :}] i think u can type in batman 19 66 batman framed or something like that to find that episode:}
I use the joke Has Anyone Seen My Friend Kursh? joke all the time and still not a single person has gotten the joke but hey thats public highschool for ya lol
Yes, a goof, in that Molly was not unconscious, when taken to the Batcave, thus she would have known the location. The scene of the party with the Riddler's silly mask, is great. All signs such as "air vent" add to the creativity of this show, the best TV series ever.
ive seen now the series the first time since childhood (almost 20 years ago) and I really like that Riddler actor he is awsome and even though I am a Jim Carry fan I agree with you that this guy does it much better.
Astin was called to do the Riddler only because Gorshin refused to. He wanted more money to play him on season 2.
First, producers replaced the Riddler with the Puzzler ("The Puzzles Are Coming" / "The Duo Is Slumming"), then they had no choice but to change the actor. At least Gorshin got back for a single episode on season 3 ("Ring Around the Riddler").
And so both mom and pop Addams (Morticia is Carolyn Jones, who played Marsha, Queen of Diamonds) appeared on season 2.
Yeah, that's her. Now she is married to Robert Wagner, who starred in Hart To Hart, and was the eyepatch wearing assistant to Dr Evil in the Austin Powers movies. She is also supposedly a genius with something like a 160 IQ. Very pretty in this episode too.

thanks.
with this story uploaded u now have the complet tv appernces of Frank Gorshin as the Riddler.
(with the exception of the movie)
the only other riddler episodes were with John Astin, who is just not the same.
Gorshin was the best riddler.
much better then Jim Carry.

I already know most of that.
the other factor was that Gorshin was unavalible.
but he clearly regretted not reapearing as Riddler since he came back for season three
but by then it was far too late.
in the end Gorshin made the riddler.
deadman00 1 year ago
@deadman00 Oh, good! Then I guess I made no mistakes in my teachings. XD Gotta spread the word.
And agreed, even though I love Jim Carrey, I must admit he screwed up badly on the Riddler (which is mostly Joel Schumacher fault, but still, ugh).
