A Bat-tally!

Post by wally wingert »

After seeing the tiger trainer in the Batman costume in the first Catwoman episode the other night, I got to thinking about just how many guys wore that costume throughout the run of the series. It started to add up to quite a few...

1. Adam West
2. Hubie Kearns
3-7. The five imposter Batmans from the Mr. Freeze episode
8. Roy Jenson; The Riddler's henchman
9. The tiger trainer

Anyone else? It would be fun to get a final tally of all the people we suspected wore it during the course of the series.

When Mr. Freeze robbed a charity event at Wayne Manor, he had two of his henchmen dress up as Batman and Robin and engage the other four henchmen in a "fight." :)

Ooh, you're right! I hadn't read Wally's original entry all the way through! I saw "Roy Jenson", didn't know who that was, and kept going without seeing that he was the riddler's henchman.

Aside from Jill St. John in Part 2 of the series opener, I remember Mr. Freeze's henchman, and the Black Widow. Anyone else? :)

At least in Catwoman Goes to College, Cornell's batsuit was patterned from a life-size statue of Batman, stolen for purposes of counterfeiting the costume. Come to think of it, maybe Cornell's inverted utility belt was the sculptor's fault. :)
