best tv batman villian?

[toys2cool]

I always loved Caesar Romero as the Joker. To me he is the Joker.
Gorshin of course was fantastic as Riddler. Burgess Meredith as the Penguin, never done better. Julie Newmar in skin tight black pleather....meow.....tell the truth these four were all so perfectly cast and evoke such great memories for me that I cannot choose just one.

you know I just found out a couple of months ago that Romero was Cuban being Cuban myself I find that pretty darn cool

this should answer this question for most of the guys here


WHOA MAMA!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite was Frank Gorshin's Riddler.
I still have a huge crush on Julie Newmar - loved her Catwoman. I liked the Bookworm. He was probably my favorite original character. Frustrated writer that turns to crime - based on novel storylines...
The Puzzler, Louie The Lilac and The Sandman had to be the wackiest.

cliff robertson as shame i think is the most underated performance of the whole show.

And for non-canon foe from the TV series, again a tie between Vincent Price as Egghead and Victor Buono as King Tut. They did a LOT with characters that really had no history with the Caped Crusaders.

For me it's a dead-heat tie between Frank Gorshin as The Riddler and Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

Gorshin's manic portrayal of the Prince of Puzzlers put the Riddler on the map as far as being one of Batman's "Top Four" foes...previously he was a forgotten villain that only appeared once or twice.

And Julie as Catwoman....Purr-fect! I agree 100% about the "stirrings in the utility belt" line.... Julie was good as the Catwoman but when Catwoman was BAD she was even better!
