We’re celebrating two years! Batman is
celebrating… well, we’re not sure how many. But there’s a new
Riddler in town, and he’s got a mustache!
The question mark on the Riddler’s costume is appropriate, given
how many questions are raised by this arc:
- John Astin isn’t necessarily inferior to Frank Gorshin, but how do their performances differ? How might Gorshin have handled this script?
- Why didn’t Gorshin appear in the 2nd season?
- How do three intersecting cuts of a pie give one seven pieces?
- Why was the charity money for Batman’s anniversary put in, of all things, a golden calf?
- Is sodium dichloride really used to seed clouds?
Also, we look at a couple of new contributions by Nelson
Riddle in this arc, the uncredited cast member who had bit
parts in several all-time classic films, and much more.
Plus, the Well Paid Scientists' version of the
Batman theme, and a bagful of Batmail, including yet another
burning question: Why is the character of Batman such a good fit
for humorous takes?
