This show was a waste of a half hour of tv. For those of you who liked and watch it please know I am making no judgements on you..........I respect your taste......I was just too damn old for the show.

I voted for a baddie that I only seen once and that was 'False Face'. I remember he used his moustache as a smoke bomb. What was interesting was that when they do the credit for the actor who plays the baddie, he was only known as '?'

Has anybody seen the episode?

I also thought Vincent Price as "Egghead" was funny, especially how he'd always say things like "Eggs-cellent!" and "Eggs-actly!" ;D

Would you believe it, Hysteria and Harmonica? I have found websites on both baddies False Face and Bookworm - they make interesting reading as well.

Well, I personally liked Frank Gorshin as The Riddler, but it was Anne Baxter as 'Zelda The Great' who first caught my attention! I became a fan of hers for life after seeing that episode:

I like the Batman movie where all 4 of the main villains appear together in a common goal to destroy Batman. Penguin, Joker, Riddler, and I believe Lee Meriweather as Catwoman.

The name of the episode was "True or FalseFace."  I liked the part where the Batmobile had him pulled over when he was in a moving van.  He suddenly took off out the back gate on a motorcycle.  That was a great episode!

I voted for Cesar Romero's Joker, but all the villains were "eggs-cellent."  Amazing how the villains were all good actors, and the "stars" were Adam West and Burt Ward.

As a sidenote he is also my favorite villain in the comics, and out of the original 4 Batman movies(the ones by Burton and Schumacher). I hope hes done right in BB2.

I like Catwoman just because she's so darn sexy, but as a true villain, the Joker seemed to be the most evil of them all and one that truly loved being that way, so the Joker is a good choice.

Yeah, hes like the anti-Batman. Whereas Batman shows up to restore order, the Joker's main motivation in every thing he does is to cause chaos, mayhem, and death with seemingly no inherent motive besides that in itself; unlike other villains who all seem to have some sort of material or pre-existing psychologial motivations, whether its villains like Catwoman and The Penguin who are motivated by money like traditional criminals, or The Riddler who has a superiority complex and resents Batman for his abilities, or Two-Face who suffers from multiple personality disorder. I read an article on a comic site once that suggested The Joker is a textbook example of someone with a full-blown Anti-Social Personality Disorder.

EDIT: Also, in the comics The Joker has no backstory. Hes like a force of nature that just is. Noone knows his true identity. Even at Arkham Asylum whereas all of the other "super villains"'s real names are above their cells, his name plaque just says "Anonymous".

Hehe, yeah, I'm a comic geek. Shows, doesn't it?  :P

Also, if you are interested(which you probably aren't), check out my Batman Begins sequel thread over in the 2000s forum. It gives a good rundown of the reported storyline for the sequel, as well as my thoughts on casting.

As a six-year-old watching Batman during its first run, I recall feeling giddy any episode where the Riddler was the villain. 

Thus, I picked the Riddler.  ::)
