      But I was reading a bit on this topic on one of the comic book sites. It seems DC doesn't have the rights to the TV version of the villain, so this will be a brand-new character based on the historical King Tut, with a different alter-ego, different look, and different mo. I was looking forward to his debut, but now not so much.

        I aree that the "Big Four", with Newmar, were the best....But Gorshin could make you laugh out loud one minute,and scare the crap out of you the next!


        But catwoman is still hotter.

          Actually there were THREE actors who portrayed Mr. Freeze: 1) George Sanders 2) Otto Preminger 3) Eli Wallach

          Of the 3 I prefer Otto Preminger ("WILD!") but George Sanders with his hot and cold sections of his HQ is a close 2nd.

            ^^^ I actually liked Wallach the best. He seemed to be having the most fun with it. I'd also like to add False Face to the list. He's one that DC could use since there is a False Face in the old Seven Soldiers series that I believe was a Vigilante foe.

                I think it was me who asked this one awhile back.

                But I think I have to go w/ the fab 4 as well, (w/ Julie Newmar as Catwoman), but I also like King Tut, Mr. Freeze (George Sanders), EggHead and The Mad Hatter too.

                  I can't just pick one. the series just has a classic line-up of Rogue Villans. All portrayed by fine actors from Hollywood's Golden-age. There are too many stand outs. That's why the series is such a classic.

                  Julie Newmars Catwoman is great but Eartha Kitt played her like a straight up Villian and had those fabulous rolling R's.

                          The big 4 as well and King Tut and Egghead. A different version of Tut was also planned for the animated Batman series and Egghead actually had a cameo in the first Shadow of The Bat storyline. I also recall a light hearted Riddler story from Secret Orgins special #1 where says " And there were all these guys you never see anymore ... Bookworm. King Tut. Marsha, Queen of Diamonds. Egghead. Where did they all go? Batman and Robin were part of the fun. They were straight men, but we were the stars. No one ever hurt anybody. Not Really. Nobody died. You look around these days -- it's all different. It's all changed. The Joker's killing people for God's sake! Did I miss something? Was I away when they changed the rules?"

                            what about sandman. the actor was ok but the script writen for him was terrible.

                              Okay if we're talking about the worst Bat-villains now - not sure if Reginald Denny was dry, serious, flat or wooden or if that was The Sandman. It's been a while since I saw his Klaatu, he seemed kind of dry and serious there, too. Maybe he just didn't get the memo about it being light-hearted camp. It just seemed an odd combination of Catwoman and The Sandman. Maybe that was what they were going for...

                              Didn't really care for Maurice Evans' The Puzzler, either. Wasn't he a Superman villain, anyway?

                              Of course toward the end of the run, Batman became a lot like Lost in Space - just plain out there. A surfing competition with The Joker?

                                ^^ Reginald Denny wasn't the Sandman or Klaatu. It was Micheal Rennie.
