This is my favourite episode from this series Frank Gorshin was amazing as the Riddler I preferred when he wore the green tights outfit I was never fussy on the suit he wore.
hes a good actor and all but i just don't think they should have cast him to be the Riddler, he brings too much of a Joker-ish feel to it, just my opinion
@xCoopazx That "feel" was what made a second rate villain at the time into a hard core keeper for the series both comic and TV wise. Even The Joker was supposed to die in the comics if it wasn't for the whim of the head guy of the comic writers, and that's all it was, a whim.
@DreamingofAz, true, Robin didn't get his driver's license until later in the series, but he could drive if he had a learner's permit, with adult supervision. Batman was still there when Robin parked the Batmobile, therefore he was supervised. :)
So the scene where Robin gets shot in the arm was supposed to be a one take scene. Burt Ward (Robin) was told all he had to do was stay still while they shot fireworks out of the batmobile..... the fireworks burned through his cape and he ended up going to the hospital with third degree burns, but he stayed still through the entire shot and it was the one take scene they wanted
Guess there was honor and integrity among the villans and the dynamic duo. Why didn't the Riddler take off Robin's mask? Afterall, wouldn't he be curious, now that Robin is unconscious from a mickey dart, to know who it is?
lmao on these comments. It would been more funny it the police would of told batman to get out an walk the line and have batman refuse. Then have the police slam him down on the hood of the batmoblie yelling then took Robin they took Robin. lol
Frank Gorshin'sThe Riddler is honestly the best... i can only pray that the next BATMAN has a Riddler that can at least have half the charisma of Frank.
I'm so glad TVLand hadn't (yet) started having annoying voice-over advertisements during the end credits. Or, I'm glad FanOfBats was able to remove the voice-overs if there were any.
I dont think batman can stand at this point in the show...besides its the very first ep EVER aired no way they could kill robin off on the first ep...DUH
God damn, I thought Bruce Wayne was supposed to be a partier, but after one drink he's drunk off his ass? Either he chugged straight rum with a hint of OJ or he's just a HUGE lightweight
Batman leaves, Robin instantly gets kidnapped LOL.
I think a lot of people mistake the painful awfulness of this show for being unintentional, but it's not supposed to be true to Batman it was supposed to be parodying how silly the Batman comics had become. In a way, fans of the modern Batman owe this show because it forced the comic to start treating the Batman material seriously again.
This nightclub scene has so many funny moments..."I shouldn't want to attract attention"..... Batman special (orange juice)....Batman dancing...."My drink....DOPED!"
@talkape Well considering you can get your learner's permit at age 15 and can't drink until you're 21....although with the time period of the 60's I'm not sure what the age was for either.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sadly i think the redler will get the clone vipe yet again
this: both maniacs
animated: both in suites
the batman: both long hair
dark knight: knive wielding sicko
so what will the ridler bee in the next movie a emo man with messy hair that scribles ridles into corpses? (hope not)
If they want to do somthing new why not let him work on the side of the law to figure out who the batman is? or even worse make him the new boss of akhram
Ahh, well I see what you mean, you are right about that. Batman is more than just beating up a few thugs and scaring a few mobsters(with an annoying graveling voice, my only big gripe with Christian Bale). But you have to admit that the performances were done really well. Especially Heath Ledger as the Joker, who even if he were alive would be a shoe in for an Oscar nomination. I have read The Long Halloween and Two Face's origin was done decent, but I would have liked to see The Holiday Killer
So your the Ebert of the world, lol In other words very hard to please, lol nah just kidding. I loved the Dark Knight, but am interested in hearing your reasons for not liking it. I like a good film debate. I'm like Siskel a bit, but can still please better than both.
I agree completely, the strength of The Riddler, the "True" Riddler is that he is one of Batman's most intelligent foes, just a bit of a nut. That's why I think Steve Buscemi would be great, he has the right look, he has played smart crazy characters before. If he can take that and just take away the humor, than he'd be perfect.
I agree completely Frank Gorshin played The Riddler very 60's Joker-like. Caeser Romero was good, but seemed the tamest of all the villains. When Jim Carrey played the role, he seemed to mix Jim Carrey up with Frank Gorshin's Riddler, which was ok, but could have been done better. Now hopefully the next one who dons the Riddler name can play him the way he was meant to be played. I'd have to say either Johnny Depp(who seems to be the top choice)or Steve Buscemi.
