best tv batman villian?

[jds1911a1]

I really liked the Minstrel, too.. and yes, he was in a Batman coloring book that also featured Pengy.

In Minstrel's episode, he's surprisingly competitive & viscious. Actually, many of the foes are really cruel. Remember Mad Hatter rhapsodizing about dismembering Batman in his hat factory?

Holy censors! You'd never hear that in a modern cartoon.

dont forget that most cartoons are held to a higher standard because they are "kids saturday am tv standard" batman was techincally a prime time show so it would have been jusdged to the same standard as rat patrol or combat

^^ Forgot about the Hatter,David Wayne was pretty fun in that role!!

^ Created for TV but I think I remember him being in a Batman coloring book years later....

I am not sure if he was created for TV (I think he was) but I always liked the Minstrel (VAN johnson)

Julie and Frank Gorshin..., No Arguments here. Primo, primo character actors..

Ah, Julie..!

Both actors to play Mr. Freeze was good too..

Both Were accomplished actors of Film George Saunders and Otto Preminger (who was a huge director as well and you may know him as the voice of the elf king from the 70 Hobbit cartoon)

Gorshin's peerformance became the footprint for the riddler

Julie was stunning and that catsuit woah (the best ladies fashion in the 60's in my opinion)

^^ Yeah, Yvonne Craig in a skin tight purple suit is season 3's saving grace.

Nora Clavicle, Dr. Cassandra and Lord Phogg were all from Season 3...must've been something in the bong water that year.

Batman season 3 rivals Trek season 3 for overall-descent-into-suckiness. Unlike Trek though, there are no true gems in that season. No "Tholian Web" or "Spectre of the Gun". But there is Batgirl so...

Dr. Cassandra and her dopey-hippie husband were pretty bad too. And Lord Fogg's story went on FOR-EVER.

Yeah, the Black Widow lady scared me as a kid. Kind of like going into a nursing home when you were a kid. You knew you were supposed to be happy, but you couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Not really sure where that one came from.

^^^ Yeahh. yeesh. And add to that Nora Clavicle or whatever her name is. That is probably the absolute worst piece of you know what episode, too. The whole pied piper bit with the mice in a reallllly bad stage set. Might be the official jump the shark moment forthe series if there was such a thing.

yeah i agree but that episode is worth watching cause it does have some good jokes in there.

[The Toyroom]

Nora Clavicle didn't do much for me but her assistants (Policewoman Mooney and others) were hot! Two of them were the twins from one of the Harry Mudd episodes on "Star Trek" I think.

For worst villain, I nominate The Black Widow.....ugggh!

Tut's in the comics now?

Interesting, but why bother when an established character like Maxie Zeus is basically the DCU Tut?

BTW, where's Meule? We need his opinion on foes here!
