TO THE BATPOLES #204: “Rembrandt III”: Watching paint dry

TO THE BATPOLES: We discuss "Rembrandt the Third Meets his Master," a rejected Batman '66 script treatment by Yale Udoff. While some parts are spot-on, a vain, goofy Batman and armed-to-the-teeth Alfred are pretty far off base!

With the exception of King Tut, Shame and Bookworm the villains created for the series were sub-par-- even The Puzzler who was a Superman villain inserted into a Riddler script, was weak. Rembrandt fits solidly in the weak camp-- an idea that isn't fleshed out, a concept without any legs. Scripts like this one were what killed the series.
