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.

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! Bats Despite having three gorgeous villains ... the show is a farce when I see one!

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!

Batman Episodes (115,116) … Third SeasonThe Great Escape The Great Train Robbery Original Air DatesFebruary 1, 1968 February 8, 1968 Major VillainsCliff Robertson as Shame Dina Merrill as Calamity Jan Hermione Baddeley as Frontier Fanny Guest StarsVictor Lundin as Chief Standing Pat Personal Notes  I just can't stand Frontier Fanny being pictured here with Batman and Robin and I did watched the show a year ago too see how bad it was and laughed seeing a picture of a Red Tank in the show and it's bothers me a lot ... I didn't mind seeing the Gold Tank in the earlier Batman's show (Penguin and Marsha Queen of Diamonds) and seeing this picture of how far the Batman's show ended a bad note with this two-parter here.  It has too many goofy scenes and one of them is seeing Leave it to Beaver Star ... Jerry Mathers in an uncredited role as a Stage Door Manager and I was shocked to see him and he was 17 years old when he did Batman. I was disappointed that they did not credit his appearance here.  Jerry Mathers in Batman But there are serious problems, too, most of them relating to Standing Pat and Frontier Fanny, who embody awful stereotypes. Even as Fred is nicely subverting clichés, these two are living down to them in the worst way. Standing Pat started out promising, using a cigar to “speak” in smoke signals, handily translated by Calamity Jan, but they abandoned that in short order, and Standing Pat started talking like a not-too-bright 8 years old and that bothers me too. I just had a hard time dealing with Standing Pat and Frontier Fanny. BatsCan't rate it because it's painful for me to watch it and I have a hard time enjoying Cliff Robertson's performance as Shame.  Four more shows to do and I'll watch them and the last show ... Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires that has Zsa Zsa Gabor as Minerva as the beautiful villainess was a sad way to end this series.

@mechagodzilla Wow what a run of terrible episodes (except for the Penguin). I hated the Shame & Louie the Lilac episodes. Just awful. Not even the presence of Yvonne Craig could redeem them.

Batman Episodes (117) … Third SeasonI'll Be a Mummy's Uncle Original Air DatesFebruary 22, 1968 Major VillainVictor Buono as King Tut Guest StarsJock Mahoney as H.L. Hunter (Mining Foreman) Angela Dorian as Florence of Arabia Henny Youngman as Manny the Mesopotamian Our Show in ReviewKing Tut is being treated at the Mount Ararat Psychiatric Hospital. King Tut has gone on and on and on and on about his problems for so long that his shrink falls asleep, giving Tut the opportunity to make his escape. He immediately hits the Rosetta Stone Company in his attempt to steal $47,000! To BUY a lot of land that Bruce Wayne offered for a firm $48,000! But, King Tut is a good friend of Manny the Mesopotamian, an unscrupulous real-estate dealer who will sell it to Tut for $47,000 and it's a done deal.  Barbara Gordon observed the transaction and called her Father, Commissioner Gordon about it. But then the Bat-Computer reveals two things: that there is nilanium under Wayne Manor and that Tut is digging for it; and his mining operation will lead him right to the Batcave!  Tut’s miners hit the titanium shell around the Batcave, and they’re afraid to blast it due to the danger. Tut laughs in the face of danger, and he volunteers to do the blasting himself. That’s when Batman, Robin, and Batgirl all show up. Tut and his gang retreat down the shaft in a minecart, with the heroes following on foot!  Prior that, Batgirl was instructed to meet the Caped Crusaders ... by Batman's instructions via Batphone! See Picture above this paragraph!  About to break a world's record in a Mile ... the 2 Minute Mile here to tell Batgirl to stand guard of the entrance to the Batcave! Then, King Tut discovered the Batcave, beat up the rubber dummies of Batman and Robin that was used earlier in Season Three in The Unkindest Tut of All and found out the secret identities of the Caped Crusaders! ... Then, without the aid of Batgirl and great Bat-Fight in the Batcave and seeing the Television, broken test tubes, and other crime-fighting equipment being destroyed to safeguard the secrets of the Caped Crusaders and Batman uses his Bat-Nesia gas to do the work and found out that he ran out of it that he needed to use on King Tut who raises his voice allowing rocks to fall on him safeguarding the secrets of our beloved Caped Crusaders!  Angela Dorian as Florence of Arabia ... she was good in this show! BatsExcellent Show and I was kind of sad not seeing Batgirl in any action at all and it's a bummer if she had some decent action ... this show would had a 5 Bats Ratings! The script is a delight in this one, from the pros and cons pun to King Tut referring to Batgirl as the Dynamic duenna to all the nomenclature references (Manny the Mesopotamian, Mount Ararat Psychiatric Hospital, Rosetta Stone, etc.). Just tremendous fun and delightful watch and it's marked the end of King Tut appearance by Victor Bruno. I was kind of sad to see him go and it's was a great show to watch!

Batman Episodes (110, 111) … Third SeasonThe Funny Feline Felonies The Joke's on Catwoman Ugh. Batman uses a Bat-Skateboard in this one, and of course it was hidden in his utility belt, along with large spray cans, a bulky thermos, communicators, handcuffs, high decibel-blocking ear plugs, Bat-claws for wall climbing, Bat-rope, the foldaway Bat-Shield, Bat Gas grenades, Bat explosive grenades, Bat-laser gun....... That car design was continued in the Filmation cartoon series. Well...sort of:  1. Famed custom car designer Gene Winfield's The Reactor was used in an episode of Bewitched, where the Darrin Stephens character said, "this makes the Batmobile look like a skateboard!"2. The Darrrin Stevens comment was ironic, as the car would end up--as we clearly see here--in this arc from Batman. 3 & 4. The "Catmobile" (or whatever it was called) appearing in Filmation's 1968 The Batman-Superman Hour (later Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder in 1969), seems to take the "cat eye" cue from the piece slapped on the front of The Reactor, along with a basic color reseblance, but loses the bubble canopy, and that terrible tail attachment. Overall, the Filmation version was not as innovative as Winfield's car, but at least the series gave distinctive cars to both Catwoman and Joker. If that's all it takes to sideline an alleged superheroine, then she's subject to just about any random passerby pulling that stunt on her bike! It seemed he was only there to play out Dozier's "two villain" gimmick as a ratings booster (and keep advertisers happy), which--as we all know--did not work. Batman Episodes (112) … Third SeasonLouie's Lethal Lilac Time Honestly, the only interesting part of this otherwise dreary episode (like any episode with Milton Berle) was seeing the hero-trio largely in their civilian identities, which a superhero show needs a good dose of, just to play on the dual identity matter so vital to costumed characters. Batman Episodes (113) … Third SeasonNora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club Original Air DatesJanuary 18, 1968 While Nora Clavicle (portrayed by the always lovely Barbara Rush) and her anti-male campaign truly predicted some corners of 21st century American politics, it was delivered through endless sexist assumptions and set-ups, making this a near-universally condemned episode. Produced so late in the series' run--at a time when women's liberation was gaining momentum--this comes off as Dozier resenting the idea of female empowerment (in a non-costumed, more realistic setting of city government) and trying to take it down to some degree. Twin actresses Alyce and Rhae Andrece (as policewomen) are better known as androids Alice #1 through #250 and Alice #251 - #500, respectively, in the second season Star Trek episode, "I, Mudd" airing two months earlier in November of 1967. Batman Episodes (114) … Third SeasonPenguin's Clean Sweep Original Air DatesJanuary 25, 1968 Burgess Meredith's final appearance as the Penguin. That's the hallmark of the episode, folks. That, and of all of the comic-based Rogue's Gallery characters, Meredith pretty much maintained the same level of performance from start to finish, unlike Romero's Joker, who went from a calculating, occasionally creepy clown prince of crime in season one, to pouting man-child in season three. Batman Episodes (115,116) … Third SeasonThe Great Escape The Great Train Robbery Original Air DatesFebruary 1, 1968 February 8, 1968 This two-parter was Shameful. Yes, that was a bad pun, but what else can be said of this final Shame appearance other than trivia notes, such as F.R.E.D. was portrayed by Barry Dennen, the man who dated / was responsible for developing Barbra Streisand to the point of launching her career in the 60s. Then, there's Victor Lundin (Chief Standing Pat), who first appeared as Penguin henchman "Octopus" in "Fine Finny Fiends" / "Batman Makes the Scenes", the final arc of season one, along with being one the first actors to portray a Klingon in Star Trek's legendary 1st season episode, "Errand of Mercy". Oh, and we get to see Burt Ward take advantage of his martial arts training (for the last time in the series) by delivering a flying kick to one of Shame's henchmen. Aside from his many memorable credits, Cliff Robertson returned to comic book adaptations some 34 years later as ill-fated uncle Ben Parker in Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie (2002). Batman Episodes (117) … Third SeasonI'll Be a Mummy's Uncle Original Air DatesFebruary 22, 1968 As expected during this point in the series, this was also Victor Buono's final appearance as King Tut. Highlights were Tut actually discovering the true identities of Batman and Robin! Finally, after attempts made by Egghead (who was actually right on target in thinking only a millionaire of a certain age could have the resources and physical gifts to be Batman), and a drugged Commissioner Gordon failed, Tut actually learns the truth...but of course, loses his memory again, removing the thrill of the entire set-up of breaking into the Batcave. Vintage Hollywood actor/stuntman Jock Mahoney (aka Sally Field's stepfather) has a brief appearance as the surveyor H.L. Hunter. He did see far better days in Gotham--as Leo, Catwoman's main henchman in the classic 1st season episodes (and Catwoman/Newmar's debut), "The Purr-fect Crime" / "Better Luck Next Time". |

Batman Episodes (118) … Third SeasonThe Joker's Flying Saucer Original Air DatesFebruary 29, 1968 Major VillainCesar Romero as The Joker Guest StarsRichard Bakalyan as Verdigris Corinne Calvet as Emerald Ellen Corby as Mrs. Green Byron Keith as Mayor Linseed Fritz Feld as Prof. Greenleaf Our Show in ReviewThis is an interesting show of where Verdigris, Mrs. Green, and Prof. Greenleaf were aiding the coup of the century of where the Joker wants to build a flying saucer so he can rule the world. It was cleverly done and that's why it's not that bad a show.  Going over the plans to build the flying saucer here! Batman, Robin, Gordon, and O’Hara question a Mrs. Green, who insists she saw a three-foot-tall Martian man in Gotham Central Park. And then Barbara arrives at Gordon’s office completely a-quiver, telling our heroes about the little green man in the library. Said little green man, whose name is Verdigris, has also been in the Batmobile, where he’s left a bomb to go off at midnight! One devilish deed done by the Joker's associate! Remember Professor Greenleaf that visit Barbara Gordon at the Library? and of course Verdigris is there too terrorizing as well ... the good Professor turned out to be a bad guy after all! Professor Greenleaf also turns out to be working for the Joker. The criminal clown’s next move is to steal some beryllium for the flying saucer from the Wayne Foundation. Batman figures out that it’s the Joker, so he has Alfred check on the Wayne Foundation security and also informs Gordon that the Joker is the likely culprit!  Bomb did go off at Midnight ... and it's took eight and half hours to finally to get the Caped Crusaders to their senses and alerted the authorities ...  Flying Around and spreading terror all over the world! Joker finishes the flying saucer and ties Batgirl to a rocket. His plan is to send her off into space while Joker will orbit the Earth a few times then launch his “invasion.” Batman and Robin manage to rig up a radio, and Alfred finally gets through and reports to Batman! So that his evil plans can comes to the end!   It was great seeing the Bat-Copter and the Bat-Cycle for a mere few seconds in this show and seeing the Bat-Copter flying over Gotham City to stop the evil plans of the Joker to rule the World! BatsIt's earned 3 Bats for the Show and an extra Bat for showing the Bat-Cycle and the Bat-Copter as well and the script was good and everyone has something to do - Line-Wise and it's great show and the Bat-Fight was excellent too ... not bad for Cesar's swan song as the Joker!

Batman Episodes (118) … Third SeasonThe Joker's Flying Saucer Original Air DatesFebruary 29, 1968 Major VillainCesar Romero as The Joker Well, this is it--Romero's last performance as the Joker. Interesting note: Larry Storch (best known from 60s sitcom F Troop and playing himself as a bad acting teacher on Married...with Children) provided the voice of the Joker on Filmation's The Batman-Superman Hour & Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder, but did not try to pattern his Joker voice on Romero, which is surprising, considering how much the cartoon took inspiration from the live action series. Of course, all Bat-Copter footage was recycled from coverage shot during the production of the 1966 movie. Actor Jeff Burton (Shamrock) would go from this episode (with its reused I Dream of Jeannie flying saucer mock up) to a true film classic: 1968's Planet of the Apes. In POTA, Burton portrayed Dodge, the black astronaut killed, and later stuffed for a museum display. |

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!

Batman Episodes (119) … Third SeasonThe Entrancing Dr. Cassandra Original Air DatesMarch 7, 1968 Major VillainsIda Lupino as Dr. Cassandra and Howard Duff as Cabala Perhaps it was all a joke at this point, but two, past-middle aged actors trying to dress and speak "hip" was distracting. One detail about the stand-ins: the Catwoman double was clearly based on Julie Newmar, with look of the actress, same hairstyle, and height that was clearly not short like Eartha Kitt. Either Greenway just used the available stuntwoman/double they employed in previous seasons, or they were sending a not-so-subtle message about which Catwoman they wished they had for the series. The only interesting point of this cardboard standee scene is what happened to them after production wrapped. ABC had dropped the axe on Batman early in the third season's run, so, with only a few additional scripts to shoot, and no realistic hope for renewal, the series broke format by this episode's teaser using a certain on-screen caption for the first and last time:  --letting the world know that the next episode would be the end of the series. |
