Yvonne as a baddie (the silver fox)

Post by Mr Chronos »

Always think the sexy yvonne would have made a great villain called the silver fox. Dozier was toying with the idea. I will flush out my idea in a bit! 8-)

Sounds interesting. I usually preferred the female villains as they couldn't fight Batman so they had to try to outthink him. However, there were some notable exceptions to this which I won't list those villainesses as they and their shortcomings have been listed a thousand times already.

Like the idea of her as a socialite who commits crime just because she can! She made a great villian on Star Trek too!
Hideout: The Den
Gang: Fox Cubs
Look: Like the batgirl costume but silver lurex and mask. Anything fox related would be a target. I am just smitten with yvonne altho it would have meant someone else playing batgirl. I've heard dozier wanted elke sommer on batman too!

Elke Sommer would have been great as The Sea Hag,a Scuba Diving Villainess from the 1966 Batman Topps Card #14a:''Danger In The Depths."Yvonne would have been excellent as The Silver Fox.She could have doubled as Batgirl too.

Would have made for an interesting addition to the 4th season. Either her or Barbara Bouchet! Always remember yvonne as the dancing russian spy in In like Flint too! The Silver Fox would be batgirl with the sass turned up which is how yvonne wanted to play it anyway not as batman's love interest.

How come William Dozier was not able to get Elke Sommer?

Yvonne Craig was actually cast against type as Barbara Gordon. Up until then she'd almost invariably spelled trouble; like Veronica Kovacs, the little floozy who tries to blackmail George Hamilton into marrying her in By Love Possessed (1961):

We get an idea of the sort of Sea Hag Elke Sommer might have made from her mean way with a speargun in Deadlier Than the Male (1967):
