Re: Commentary for ALL Batman ’66 Episodes May Be in the Wor

I think you folks have pointed out the limitations of this matter very well. I would suggest a documentary extra to the DVD set that covers the few living individuals who made themselves available for interviewing and their input in the series. Then, depending upon the extent of the recollections o...

Re: What's the deal with 1966 Penguin?

I always thought Joker and Penguin appeared in the same number of episodes. Was I wrong? Does anyone know the number for each actor? Burgess Meredith and Cesar Romero both appeared in 19 episodes -- 6 each in Season 1, 9 each in Season 2 and 4 each in Season 3. (If Meredith had appeared in the seco...

Re: (Pop) Cultural Reference in "Ring of Wax"?

I do think there were instances in the show's history where a joke was made that everyone would have understood at the time but means nothing now. An example would be the references to the Minstrel as that "nice young man" in Season Two. Van Johnson came to fame at M-G-M came during and i...

Re: What's the deal with 1966 Penguin?

Why did they focuse on him so much? It was a pretty uninteresting and silly character. He wasn't the Joker, the Riddler, False Face, Bookworm or even King Tut. His gimmick was lame. Don't get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY loved Meredith's performance, he was an ace. But the character itself was bland IMHO...

Re: (Pop) Cultural Reference in "Ring of Wax"?

I never thought there was any particular cultural resonance to the scene between the librarian and the young woman. To me, it was just a bit of character business to establish the fact that the action had shifted to the library. I do think there were instances in the show's history where a joke was ...

Re: False Face: the creepiest villain

What's creepy about False Face is that the mask is his "true" face. Even at the end, when Batman has deduced his final disguise, there is no dramatic removal of the False Face mask. It's as if Batman himself accepts what is false as true.

Yes, clever. Close to the answer . . . but it doesn't quite have the double-punning quality I love so much. Riddler

Re: Which Episode Are You Looking Forward To Most On DVD/BR?

The episodes that spring to mind immediately are the Catwoman/Sandman episodes. There are some intriguing lighting effects in those episodes (mostly involving Catwoman's lair) that should look incredible in high definition. More generally, I'm looking forward to seeing the colors truly "pop&quo...
