TO THE BATPOLES #153: Greg Patterson tries on the Penguin's "quack"

Burgess Meredith put glee and humor into his portrayal of the Penguin. Who knew it could be just as fun to play Meredith playing the Penguin? Greg Patterson, and attorney by trade, has also acted in some one-man shows at Mount Vernon Chautauqua in Ohio, playing historical figures including Meredith. He talks to us this time about his Bat-fandom and his portrayals of Meredith and Pengy.

A great out-of-the-box idea for an episode. Kudos to you sirs for thinking of it and thanks to Mr. Patterson for doing it. It was fun to hear his impression of Meredith doing Pengy and his enthusiasm for both the character and the show was unbridled.

Of course, I don't agree with all of his opinions, especially one in particular, but that's not the point. It still was fun to see how much enjoyment he has gotten out of the show and out of his portrayal of Meredith, and his recounting of his meeting with him was a fun story.

That was a pretty good impression of Pengy's quack.
