Special Guest Villain: Dr. Zaius

Maurice Evans was a noted for his Shakespeare stuff — Hamlet, Richard II and Iago — at the Old Vic, on Broadway, you name it.

But he was in Batman (as the Puzzler) and both Planet Of The Apes (1968) and Beneath The Planet Of The Apes (1970) as Dr. Zaius. (Bewitched, too.)

I bet Shakespeare didn't even watch Batman.

Dammit, Which One Are They???



Are they "Unbreakable"?

or

"Practically Indestructible"?

I mean, even in Gotham City, there is a difference, right?

I guess 29 cents in 1966 would let you find out for your own damn self...

Back when you could do something with a buck ninety-eight.

What the hell is that?

That, my fine feathered finks, is the decal sheet to the Aurora Penguin model.

You got the money, the stenciled lettering on the box of umbrellas, the chart-y thing on the clipboard — everything you need to make your Penguin plastic assembly kit the best on your block. Well, of course, you'd need some Tester's purple and stuff.

And some glue to really gunk it up and give you a screaming headache.

Those were the days.

Seriously


Probably an old Julie headshot.

I wish I had taken it.

Really...

Promo Picture Day


PHOTOGRAPHER: "Okay, Mr. Ward, you shake your fist at The Riddler. Riddler — I mean Mr. Gorshin, point at Robin with a bit of a wink. Very good."

GORSHIN: "Sure we don't look stupid? Feels kinda stupid to me."

WARD: "Make sure your hand isn't in front of my million dollar face."

GORSHIN: "I don't know. This really seems stupid. Faggy even."

WARD: "What if I do this menacing yell thing?"

GORSHIN: "For God's sake, will someone please tell me if this looks stupid or not?"

CLICK!

PHOTOGRAPHER: "Perfect!"

You ride to work ain't nothing like this.

Wouldn't the Battering Ram be a nice addition to your daily commute?
