Death Trap Edition . . .

Riddle me this . . .

The person who makes it has no need of it.
The person who buys it has no use for it.
The person who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?

Forward I am heavy but backward I am not.
What am I?

Happy riddle solving! The Riddler

Of the choices, Siren is the obvious pick.

Why didn't Calamity Jan get a nod in the poll? I would have liked to have seen her and the rest of the Shame gang (Frontier Fanny, Chief Standing Pat and, best of all, FRED) come back!!!

You weren't. I was just being ridiculous with my answer about the crime!!!

Riddle/Solution: "There are four brothers . . . who were all born together: The first moves but is never tired ( water ) The second eats but is never full ( fire ) The third drinks but his thirst is never slaked ( earth ) The fourth sings but his song is never good ( wind ) Name them . . ."...

My picks: Batman -- The Sandman's stitching machine trap in the Sandman/Catwoman team-up episodes. While the trap itself is nothing special, Batman's escape from it is . As Season 2 wore on, the writers relied increasingly on too-convenient devices from Batman's utility belt as a means for the Dynam...

Like the Season 1 poll, I had a clear # 1 and a close second. My # 1 was The Minstrel. As others have noted, there was something about Van Johnson's portrayal that was quite arresting (no pun intended). He brought a certain amount of rage (toward Batman) to the part that was unusual. I don't know if...

Riddle: "What goes into the water red and comes out black?"
Solution: A red-hot poker!

Better luck next time! The Riddler

Hoffman let the show become formulaic, which may have been inevitable. He also seemed to rely on a smaller pool of writers, which is unfortunate but perhaps understandable because of the pace at which the show was made. I think the pace was a big reason for the intriguing brew from Season 1 becomin...

As my namesake said in "The Ring of Wax": "You're getting warm!"

Regarding season 1, for myself I would have to say a change in the direction of the show came about after the zelda the great episodes. Remember the gun fire at the conclusion of that episodes in the mummy cases. Also the cliffhangers were more of a possibilty. However, some episodes, like A Riddle...

#2 is correct but #1 isn't the exact word needed to solve the riddle and prevent my criminal caper. Keep trying! The Riddler

Easy riddles but I do like the elegance of the two riddles taken together. The Riddler

Welcome to the board Batmanknight1106 . I've never thought of Season 1 as camp (at least not in the way Valley of the Dolls / Mommie Dearest / Showgirls are considered camp.) I've always thought the first season was an audacious blend of action/adventure, satire (of comic books in particular and soc...

Riddle: "What is big at the bottom, small on top and has ears?"
Solution: A mountain, of course, because it has mountaineers!
