Favorite minor Batman (1966-1968) villains

[J_Dee]

Vote for your three favorite minor bad guys from the 1960s ABC Batman television show.

I left the Joker (Romero), Catwoman (Kitt, Meriweather, Newmar), the Penguin (Meredith), and the Riddler (Gorshin, Astin) off the poll because altogether they're in the majority of episodes as well as the movie and would likely get most of the votes.

Weird but great topic.

I never watched that, only "modern" Batman (aka starting with Batman from 1989 to present). The only one I remember seeing in anything in Mr. Freeze, though I have heard of King Tut as a Batman villain.

I am going with Siren (played by Joan Collins) just for hotness. Here is the whole list of villains from that show.

If you've got HBO Max and 20 minutes to kill, check out the Batman: the Animated Series episode "Heart of Ice" (season one, episode 15). It gives Mr. Freeze (Michael Ansara) a backstory for the first time and overall it's one of the better on-screen Batman offerings (the episode won an Emmy, for whatever that's worth).

Big Fan of Batman '66

Have to say of all the minor villains on the show the most surprising may have been Liberace as Chandell / Harry. While being a flamboyant entertainer, you take a guy with no real acting skill and make him play two roles....and make both "believable".

Then you get into the celebrities who made brief cameos on the show, such as.....

60 pop star Lesley Gore (Its My Party) played a Catwoman sidekick

MLB player / manager Jim Lefebvre was a Riddler henchman

et.al.

....and of course all the stars who would pop their head out the highrise window as the Dynamic Duo scaled the building.
