Batman Episode (1) … First Season – Better Luck Next TimeOriginal Air Date - March 17, 1966 Major Villainess Julie Newmar as Catwoman Important Guest StarsJock Mahoney as Leo I've totally forgot that Jock Mahoney was a western star and I've did not know until now that he appeared as one of Catwoman's henchmen in this episode. My Thoughts about the ShowBatman, uses his Bat Communicator, Earplugs, and Bat Claws to get away from this tiger and that's was quite of scene right there and Catwoman made one big mistake for not wanting to see the end of Batman's life here and when she made that remark in the show that she can't stand the sight of blood. Then, using the Bat Sticker after getting out of that situation that took all the muster of the Caped Crusader to handle and eventually found Robin about to be fed to hungry tigers below. Funny thing about this moment is Catwoman asked her Men of exactly how much Robin weighs ... they said 132 pounds and 10 ounces. And, they filled the Sand with that exact same amount and Batman arrived in the nick of time saving the Boy Wonder. After a very brief Bat Fight, Batman ordered Robin to call the Commissioner Gordon and have them to pick up one of Catwoman's Henchmen - who was Felix at the time along with one another one that Batman forgot to mention here. Because there were three Henchmen at the time of this Bat Fight. Robin did call and told them to pick up at Gato and Katz Warehouse along with the address too. So, back to Batcave for more discussion of figuring out where Catwoman at and why she leaves the two Golden Cats that belongs to Mark Andrews at her hideout? Then, later Batman finally came to realize that these two cats belongs to Captain Manx a Pirate in the early day of Gotham City to make sure that his pirate plunder make good for the early citizens of Gotham City and that's what Catwoman was going after. So, a great idea hits the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder that they decided to use the Batometer to detect the whereabouts of Catwoman and Robin placed the Cats in Batmobile's trunk and all that. Catwoman, got the road mined by Leo and was mad when she heard that Batman got Felix earlier and upon hearing the bad news from Leo - She went ahead with him to find the treasure and hopefully get away before Batman and Robin catch her. She was very mad at this time. Then, she gasses Leo and wanting the whole loot in the bag that Leo had filled and when the Dynamic Duo finally caught up with her - she ran and jump over a section of the cave and couldn't hold on despite Batman's plea to let go the bag and fall into a bottomless section of the cave and Robin was in anguish and Batman consoled him for her ultimate undoing here. About to die here and somehow she lives! ... I guess that she has nine lives to spare! BatsIt was a fair to good show to begin with and I was kind of sad to see Catwoman goes and not captured by Batman at the end of this show and all that. I almost gave it two Bats and that why I felt that it should had been a better show. The next show ... The Penguin Goes Straight will start next week on Monday at the latest and I'm giving myself the weekend off to work on other things. That final scene where Catwoman falls rather than give up the treasure, though I hadn't seen this episode in decades until last night, must have made an impression on me, since as I watched it, I realized that it had been vaguely bouncing around in my subconscious all these years!

Batman Episode (1) … First Season – The Ring of Wax Original Air Date - March 30, 1966 Major Villain - Frank Gorshin as the Riddler Important Guest StarsNone My Thoughts about the ShowIt's all started at Madame Soleil having the wax figure of Batman stolen by the Riddler and having said that it's leads to unquestionable gambit and with unknown plans by the Riddler of which Commissioner Gordon, Madame Soleil, and the Dynamic Duo can lead to. The Riddler and his rotten Gang wanted to steal the statue of Batman because of the special wax once heated can go through anything and I've mean anything so he can use it to get to book in the Library that contains the Lost Treasures of the Incas. Knowing that and he (The Riddler) makes it too easy for the Dynamic Duo to follow him and that alone made this show sometimes unbearable to watch because the Producers in my mind - rush this show into production and the script wasn't all that great either and that's why I felt that this show was average at best. So, later on they blew a hole in the safe and found the Book what they looking for and with the knowledge that they can gain - they can find the Lost Treasures of the Incas easily and with a brief bat-fight and being trapped just briefly by the Riddler's Spray and all that made me cringe what is next on the agenda for the Dynamic Duo. All clues being pointed to the Wax Museum of where this caper has started from and eventually the Riddler places two darts almost instantly and both Batman and Robin falls prey to the evil charms of the Riddler and the Riddler glee in triumph that he got the book, snagged the Dynamic Duo, and the world famous Batmobile in all one big glorious sweep and what a day he did in his life of crime. At the end of the Show, the Riddler places the Dynamic Duo over a huge vat of hot bubbly wax and Batman pours questions and more questions to the Riddler that the Riddler gladly offers his answers and as the show comes to a close here. Sorry, that I didn't write much here and I have a difficult time watching this show because it is one of my least favorite show to watch and I have to admit that this show is one of the low points in the first season of Batman. I just can't stand the idiotical henchmen that the Riddler employed here and the stupid costumes that they wore and the costumes that Moth wore was even more outlandish and that alone makes it even more difficult to watch at all. BatsThe plot is weak, the acting was weak, and the only thing was good about this show is the Riddler that performs at his best and the acting of both West and Ward was the worst that I seen so far. I just can't stand this show at all. I couldn't give anything with Frank Gorshin as the Riddles less than three Bats. He is awesome!

Dear Bat Fans
Seven Batman Shows, which I just can’t review because of personal reasons beyond my control; because I’ve felt they are too campy and ridiculous to watch and I just can’t stand Art Carney as the Archer and Cliff Robertson as Shame. The Nora Clavicle and the Ladies Crime Club is the worst Batman Show of all time and I just can’t stand it at all. Second Season1. #35, Shoot a Crooked Arrow, Art Carney as the Archer 2. #36, Walk the Straight and Narrow, Art Carney as the Archer3. #59, Come Back, Shame, Cliff Robertson as Shame 4. #60, It’s How You Play the Game, Cliff Robertson as Shame The Archer and his Gang here. Cliff Robertson as Shame Third Season5. #113, Nora Clavicle and the Ladies Crime Club, Barbara Rush as Nora Clavicle 6. #115, The Great Escape, Cliff Robertson as Shame 7. #116, The Great Train Robbery, Cliff Robertson as Shame Barbara Rush as Nora Clavicle with her Lady Crime Club Beauties ... I just can't keep a straight face watching these seven shows and I will do a horrible job reviewing them. In place of not doing these shows - I will do an extra effort on Batman the Movie in the next 10 to 14 days making sure that everything is well covered in that movie made back in 1966. I have talked to Adam West once he said that the Art (The Archer) Carney one; the one that started the 2nd Season was the most embarrassing show that he ever did in his three years playing Batman. {Shoot a Crooked Arrow}He told me that end of the show he had a boner and Batman's Producers did not want to retake the final scene. True Fact from Adam West. I just watched episodes 35 and 36, with Art Carney as the Archer, and I have to say...the acting of Art Carney and his henchmen is HORRIBLE! It really ruins the episode. With good acting, they might have been decent episodes, but as it is, as I'm making my way through all of these Batman episodes, I have to agree with MechaGodzilla on this one.

I just watched episodes 35 and 36, with Art Carney as the Archer, and I have to say...the acting of Art Carney and his henchmen is HORRIBLE! It really ruins the episode. With good acting, they might have been decent episodes, but as it is, as I'm making my way through all of these Batman episodes, I have to agree with MechaGodzilla on this one. Season two started with it being very apparent that the Lorenzo Semple guidance from season one felt like some relic from the past, as Dozier and Howie Horwitz turned up the silly aspects that were once only on the edges of plots and characterization in the first year. With the Archer--and Carney acting like he was phoning in the "performance" (and in some scenes, he seemed as if he may have been tipsy), one could see that the best of this series was long gone. Of all of the people I know who watched the Archer first run or in syndication, the Archer episodes are routinely counted among the worst of the series.

Batman Episodes (101) … Third SeasonLouie the Lilac Original Air DatesOctober 26, 1967 Major VillainMilton Berle as Louie the Lilac Important Guest StarsLisa Seagram as Lila Highlights of the ShowOk, this is a totally bizarre show to begin with of where Barbara Gordon is taking a stroll in the Park of where the flower people is focusing on one Princess Primrose who is the Leader of the Flower People and the future leaders of Gotham City. Louie whisked her away using his flower boutonniere and spraying her and that forces her to obey his commands from this point on and tossing fake flowers to all the people attending the festival. Knowing that, and Barbara Gordon feeling uneasy at this point she made a visit to her father's office and tried her best to alert her father and didn't make a dent in the situation. In fact, it’s Barbara who takes it upon herself to use the Bat Phone and call the Caped Crusaders into action! Later, the Dynamic Duo is at Gordon's Office and mapping out a plan to do something about it. So, with well thought and careful considerations they made a visit to Lila's Flower Shop at 11 Lavender Lane and automatically got tangled up in Man-Eating Lilacs! Batman made a comment that his utility belt already been eaten! ... Not Robin's of which I find it awfully a hard pill to swallow and it's bothers me so much! Lila pictured below ... totally subdued the Dynamic Duo ... I just can't picture that! A cliffhanger at this point is totally ridiculous! BTW, at this point that Barbara Gordon got kidnapped twice and I can't see that this is important to know and totally useless information here. Then, later on Batman and Robin managed to escaped and a blast of cold air that killed the lilacs and seeing Lila's expressions ... See Photo Above of seeing Louie the Lilac is melting is pretty something to see ... A happy moment here ... Even, Robin said ... “The flower children think we’re cool man, like we turn them on, you know.” and that's one of many things to appeal to the Flower Generation at the time that this show was made. BatsJust barely one Bat ... It was a really a dumb show and I totally forgot how dumb this show really is and I just can't believe that I just watched it. For the Record ... I'm going to resume this thread earlier around December 28th or so that I can get it done before February so that I can concertrate on my second Water Polo League that will be starting the 5th (of February) and I can managed that quite easily. Having recently watched this, as I'm making my way through the third season, I have to agree that this is one of the worst Batman episodes.

Batman Episodes (108) … Third SeasonCatwoman's Dressed to Kill Original Air DatesDecember 14, 1967 Major VillainessEartha Kitt as Catwoman Guest StarsRudi Gernreich as himself Review of the ShowIt's all started when Catwoman showed up at the Best Dressed Award and Rudi created a new award for the best crimefighter award to Batgirl and she claimed that she is a mere third! So, what Catwoman did is to raise the limit of crime by using a hair-raising bomb on the ladies that went to that luncheon and Gordon and O'Hara raced to call on the service of our Dynamic Duo; who is out buying shirts for the prom that Dick is attending and a call came from Bruce's pen. Catwoman goal is quite simple is to steal the Golden Fleece, a dress made of 24-karat gold owned by Queen Bess of Belgravia, who is visiting Gotham City. Eartha Kitt as Catwoman Then, Catwoman sent a telegram to Commissioner Gordon and saying she plans to hit the annual fashion show at Fashionation Magazine’s showroom. He shares this information with Batman, who urges Commissioner Gordon not to tell Batgirl, as it might be a trap for the latter. However, her daughter Barbara is visiting him, who tells her, since she’s not Batgirl ... Ha Ha!!! She hit the Fashion Show and Batgirl showed up too and this was the trap that set for Batgirl so that she can enter the Model's Dressing Room of which it's clearly states no Man can't enter and this enables Catwoman to trap, capture and her intent to do away with Batgirl forever! Dynamic Duo with their eyes covered make their way in the Model's Dressing Room and having a difficult time walking through it. When Batgirl’s been in over a minute, Batman and Robin bite the bullet, cover their eyes, and enter. They stumble around the room for quite a while before the models take pity (with good intentions) on them and say they’re fully clothed and safe for them to use their eyes and that's made the Dynamic Duo in a difficult situation here. Exactly at 3 o'clock in the afternoon a dilemma save Batgirl or save the Golden Fleece? So, he enlisted the aid of Alfred to pose as the world's oldest hippie to save Batgirl at Pussyfoot Road and fortunately Batgirl couldn't recognized her aide in Crime Fighting at all. Catwoman wearing the Golden Fleece A dress made in pure GOLD! Then, Batman and Robin showed up to get a hold of the Golden Fleece and return to its rightful owner, Queen Bess and soon this happen, a mere seconds later Batgirl showed up to assist the Dynamic Duo and a great Bat Fight at the end and everything was restored order and justice. Then, at the end ... Commissioner Gordon was in the process of handing out awards to Chief O'Hara, Batman, Robin, and Batgirl ... and to himself for saving the Golden Fleece and all the sudden, Bonnie interrupted the short ceremony and informed that Egghead and Olga return to Gotham City to try wreck havoc in that fair city. BatsIt was Eartha Kitt's first appearance as Catwoman and did a respectful job as Catwoman. I'm a Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether fan and I have to say this that I had a hard time accepting the fact that Kitt became Catwoman because she was too short to play the part. Julie was 5'11, Lee was 5'9, and Kitt was 5'4. Julie was unable to play Catwoman because of her contractual duties in MacKenna's Gold that was released in 1969. Personally, I loved Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. Though Julie Newmar is the first person I think of when i hear the name "Catwoman" and while nobody looked better than Julie Newmar as Catwoman, I actuall think I prefer Eartha Kitt's performance. She has just the right amount of over-the-top that I expect from an Adam West Batman villain.

Batman Episodes (112) … Third SeasonLouie's Lethal Lilac Time Original Air DatesJanuary 11, 1968 Major VillainMilton Berle as Louie the Lilac Guest StarsNobu McCarthy as Lotus Show Review HereAt Bruce Wayne's Beach House and Bruce asked Barbara Gordon to chaperone it so Dick and his friends can use it for entertain themselves and two henchmen from Louie barged in and demanded that Dick handed over the chunk of ambergris that used to make perfume and kidnap Bruce and Dick. Commissioner Gordon been trying to call Batman and without luck and Alfred told him that Robin is with him too. Louie’s moll Lotus is thrilled at the ambergris, but she still needs glands and follicles and scent pouches from deer, beavers, civet cats, and muskrats. Louie—who sounds almost bored by the whole concept of cornering the market on perfume, soap, and cosmetics—sends his boys out to get the animals. Back at Wayne Manor, Alfred is trying to tell the Press all he knows about Bruce Wayne's kidnapping and Barbara walked seeking information about the case. She gets Alfred to promise to let her know if he gets any leads, and when he gets Louie’s likely HQ from the Bat-computer, he passes it on to Barbara Gordon so she can change to Batgirl and make some amends here. Then, she got captured and place in a macerating vat, which finally convinces Bruce Wayne to perform the delicate operations on the animals in exchange for her life. Bruce asks only for two glasses of warm water. Instant Unfolding Bat Costumes ... one for Bruce and one for Dick and Louie wants to kill Batgirl anyway and Batman and Robin showed up in a nick of time and a decent Bat-Fight came on and Batman sends Batgirl out to assist the Gotham City Police Department to deal with the criminals inside Lilac Factory and so that Batman and Robin can change back to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson and the Batmobile left as well. Back to Police Headquarters ... Commissioner Gordon told Bruce and Dick just visiting that he told them that he is planning on taking a Cruise and unfortunately a luncheon in his honor is scheduled next week. Bats
I loved the scene at Barbara's Apartment of where she dealt with a maintenance man. She looks very becoming in that Green Dress that she has on. I thought this one was a real stinker.

Batman Episodes (110, 111) … Third SeasonThe Funny Feline Felonies The Joke's on Catwoman Original Air DatesDecember 28, 1967 January 4, 1968 Major VillainsCesar Romero as The Joker and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman Guest StarsToo Many of them, most of them were cameos and I'm not going to bother with it. Both Shows in GeneralFirst of all, The Joker got released by Warden Crichton and Bruce Wayne is present to serve as Parole Officer and handed the Warden of a cigar and the cigar didn't explode and the Joker commented that he used $10.00 bill to light them. After that, the Joker got picked up by the Catwoman's Kitty Kar just outside of Prison Wall and she made it look like she is kidnapping the Joker and all that. Then, onwards to Sleazy Hotel so that they can put their evil plans to work ... Then, the silliness of this show starts to begin and new form of crime-fighting known to us as the Bat Creep and it's so funny and here's the You Tube Clip of it so that Batman can figure out where the Criminals are at and where they were doing prior to this attack on Commissioner Gordon's office. Pretty Silly 4 minutes of Action Here. Then, Joker and the Catwoman are back to their hideout and planning on securing the Gunpowder to use to blast a hole into the Federal Depository but they needed a Nightshirt and a Crib to get the job done. I just find the scene at Little Louie who owns the nightshirt so nuts and so campy that I was laughing my heads off. Great Bat-Fight and one of the better ones in the 3rd Season and it's has that 1st and 2nd Season appeal to them and everyone is working together on this. Then, in the 2nd Show ... the Criminals are waiting for our Heroes to depart so that Batgirl can be separated so that Catwoman can employ her Cat-Whiskers on her and they managed to capture Batgirl by removing her Spark Plug from her Bat-Girl Cycle. Then she uses the sprinkler system to get out of the jam and so that she can call the Caped Crusaders for more information about the caper. You Tube of the Cat Paws Incident Then, after all this going on, then they managed to get to the location of where both Catwoman and the Joker were after the Explosives and went to the Lighthouse of Mr. and Mrs Keeper and they found it and Batman uses a Spray Can that neutralizes the explosives and another round of rounding up the criminals and sent them to Court so that Lucky Pierre can get them out of charges. The judge is appalled, but then the foreman’s fake mustache starts to come off, and Batman recognizes him as a former thug of Catwoman’s. Batman moves for a mistrial on the grounds of a prejudicial jury, and then the foreman whips out a machine gun. Batman gets rid of the gun with his batarang, but then fisticuffs ensue with the jury, and our heroes are triumphant. Catwoman and Joker are led off to prison and the show ends right there. BatsThree Bats is the best that I can do and it's has a nice plot and too many characters to deal with and it's managed to get the job done and this is one of the better Eartha Kitt's performance as Catwoman. Joker was used as a 2nd Stringer and did not do much damage control. If he had been more useful ... I would given it a higher grade. I agree. Joker didn't really do much here. Rather a waste.

Batman Episodes (113) … Third SeasonNora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club Original Air DatesJanuary 18, 1968 Major VillainBarbara Rush as Nora Clavicle Guest StarsByron Keith as Mayor Linseed and Jean Byron as Mrs. Millie Linseed June Wilkinson as Evelina and Inga Neilsen as Angelina Our Show in ReviewBasically the show started out at a luncheon for Commissioner Gordon and it's has a bad ring to it because Mrs. Linseed is forcing her husband to remove Commissioner Gordon on the orders of Nora Clavicle so that she can appoint herself as Commissioner and reward Mrs. Linseed as Chief. The first order of business for Nora Clavicle is cut ties with Batman and Robin and there service is no longer needed. She cuts the cord and ordered them to say out of Police Business! Disobeying orders, the Dynamic Duo and along with Batgirl ... investigate and ended up in a sticky situation and got themselves into a Human Knot; and Batman managed to come up with a solution to the problem and the Terrific Trio has to do something about mice running around armed with explosives to level Gotham City to the ground so that Nora Clavicle can get $10,000,000,000.00 for a $200 policy by an Insurance Company! On, a sidetrack notice ... Gotham Police Department can't do a darn thing of handling mice and they are scared of them and they are more concerned of Dresses, Shoes, and other stuff on $ALE than helping the Terrific Trio! Pied Pipers of Gotham City! Got rid of the mice, captured Nora and her henchwoman by Alfred, Chief, and Commissioner Gordon! That's pretty much it! BatsDespite having three gorgeous villains ... the show is a farce when I see one! Yeah, I think this might the worst episode yet. The most sexist piece of "entertainment" I've ever seen, and just ineffable silly. That human pretzel trap was so ridiculous. And no Bat-fight!

Batman Episodes (120) … Third SeasonMinerva, Mayhem and Millionaires Original Air DatesMarch 14, 1968 Major VillainessZsa Zsa Gabor as Minerva Guest StarsJacques Bergerac as Freddie the Fence Howie Horwitz and William Dozier played themselves in Cameos. Final Show of the SeriesBatsI felt that the Producers did not want to make an effort in this show and can't wait to see the end. It was kind of sad seeing the last show today and I felt that it's should had handled better. I can only give it two Bats because the story is too easy to follow and it's not that good for a finale. Agreed. Felt rushed.

Batman Episodes (119) … Third SeasonThe Entrancing Dr. Cassandra Original Air DatesMarch 7, 1968 Major VillainsIda Lupino as Dr. Cassandra and Howard Duff as Cabala Guest StarsDavid Lewis as the Warden and Bill Zuckert as Prison Captain Notes: Cameos by: Catwoman, Egghead, King Tut, Joker, Penguin, and Riddler. Played by Stand-Ins Our Show in ReviewIt's all started when our new archfiends stole monies at a bank that pays no interest and walked away with 26 eyewitnesses not seeing anybody taking the bag of undisclosed amount of cash. Then later on, at Commissioner Gordon office our new archfiends grabbed the hold of Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara and baffled them while our new supercrooks called the Dynamic Duo for a challenge that will soon to be mastered by these crooks that uses Camouflage Pills to make them invisible! Batman, with Barbara Gordon's help ... the Caped Crusader deduced that this arch criminal is no other than Dr. Cassandra Spellcraft from the Spellcraft Clan that specialize in the Occult and Magical needs. So, after an initial research and all that ... at the library Commissioner Gordon called Batman on his portable Bat-Phone and inform him that they are planning on stealing the Mope Diamond. At the Jewelry Store ... the Terrific Trio met Dr. Cassandra Spellcraft and faced a weapon that rendered them flat as a pancake and that gun called by Dr. Cassandra as the Alvino Ray-Gun is doing to our heroes and rendering them useless to fight crime. They were carried out and slid under the doors at Commissioner Gordon's office and both O'Hara and Gordon figured out what to do with them. Alfred altered his appearance and accept the human parcel based on the instructions that he gave to Gordon and O'Hara so that he can take care of it right away! He managed to use the Bat Restorer to restore our Terrific Trio back into action! After that ... the Batphone rang and Commissioner Gordon told the Caped Crusader that a mass escape that our new criminals managed to let loose, The Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Egghead, King Tut, and the Riddler all played by Stand-Ins and they used the Bat-Computer to find out where they are hiding and as soon they got there all the Criminals 8 to 3 used Camouflage Pills and the fight in favor of the Criminals until Batman changed the scene and everyone of them subdued with a Bat-Fight in the Dark and order is restored! BatsIt's a decent show and it's was fun seeing Batgirl in the Batcave and said it was very impressive and her comments about the Batmobile too. I really enjoyed this show and I wished it was the last show of Batman. The stands in are done very realistically and I was fooled by their appearances. Egghead and King Tut was spot on! One more show and I will be done on Monday for sure! I thought this was pretty good, but could have been better. It felt a bit rushed. I wish they could have gotten more out of Dr Cassandra freeing all those supervillains, though that would mean more $$$ for those guest villains. Also, I found it weird for two middle aged people spouting all that mod slang. I think they'd have been better off casting a younger Cassandra and Cabala.

Batman Episodes (114) … Third SeasonPenguin's Clean Sweep Original Air DatesJanuary 25, 1968 Major VillainBurgess Meredith as the Penguin Guest StarsMonique van Vooren as Miss Clean Our Show in ReviewBoth Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon visiting Bruce Wayne about the litter problem in Gotham City and then a few minutes later Chief O'Hara called Gordon at Wayne's residence to inform him that the Penguin entered the U.S. Mint and did not steal one red cent and that's baffled O'Hara and Gordon advises him to call Batman. Alfred in his quick thinking informed Bruce a water pipe is broke and he needs his Master's assistance. So, Penguin showed up at Police Headquarters demanding false arrest and counters a lawsuit of One Million Dollars and Batman's trumped him by saying that you were breaking and entering and the lawsuit went away because Batman was willing to drop the charges if you drop the lawsuit. Batman and Robin along with Batgirl attacked the problem of where they learned about the Lygerian fruit flies that are quite deadly and Batgirl went to the Bank to find out that $13,000 went out to the public before they did anything about it. Portable Batlab to determine the sickness of the fruit flies. Using the portable bat-lab (kept in a blue case handily labelled, “PORTABLE BAT-LAB”), Batman discovers that the latest batch of moolah has the bacterium for Lygerian sleeping sickness mixed into the ink. According to the guard, a shipment of money was sent to the Gotham National Bank after Penguin’s break-in. Batman killed two flies with his Bat Swatter and one of them landed on Robin's nose so that Batman can examine it closely to determine the antidote of which it is B-6 and Penguin beat him to it by destroying it. Then after that ... Operation Clean Sweep came to effect and Robin along with his moll ... Miss Clean began sweeping up all the cash that was affected by the deadly disease and that's was foiled by a combination of two fronts ... Bruce's determination to warn the rest of the world to not accept cash originated from Gotham City and Batman's ability to use the weather to kill off the 500 deadly fruit flies of which Penguin released all over Gotham City. Because of complications of this case, a great Bat-Fight ensue, and Penguin is stopped. It also turns out that he asked the doctor for a double dose of the vaccine, which doesn’t actually make inoculations work better—it just makes you more likely to contract the sickness, as Penguin discovers when he starts to nod off. It was a decent show and I was pleasantly surprised by it and haven't seen it for awhile and it's was good show to end Burgess Meredith's last appearance as the Penguin. Monique van Vooren as Miss Clean pictured here with the Penguin was a decent moll and I've liked her performance as well. BatsIt's was a great show and I was pleased how well it went from start to finish and it's had that spark that was missing from the first two years. Loved the ending of thunder and lightning and Alfred standing there underneath an umbrella of rain pouring down on him! I agree. This was a good one and on par with the first two seasons.
