In Frank
Gorshin's last Bat-appearance till Season Three,
the Riddler's making a movie. Silent-film-scholar
Paul is digging this arc! But why does the Prince
of Puzzlers bother filming Batman and Robin when
he's got luscious, leggy Sherry Jackson on his
team? More to ponder: This arc is based on a comics story in which
the Joker, not the Riddler, impersonated
Charlie Chaplin. Does this work as a Riddler
story?
Also: Francis X. Bushman reunites with a silent-era costar; why the "Aunt Harriet's birthday" scene might have some real utility beyond giving Madge Blake a reason to show up for work; who the heck is Y. Y. Flurtch? And more.
