The '60s series at its campy best! The Caped Crusader laments: "Poor Devil. Forced to live in an air conditioned suit that keeps his body temperature down to FIFTY degrees below zero. No wonder his mind is warped."....Holy Blizzard!
This version of Mr. Freeze is definitely my favorite. Also I love the fact that Batman and Robin feel guilty for what they did. Also this is the Batman I grew up with and love.
That's another accident caused by Batman, like the Joker's fallen in acid, while battling with Batman. No wonder they want revenge but Batman does have a conscience.
I really like West's delivery here, and his athleticism in dashing from the Commissioner's office. His playing everything straight was a brilliant way to highlight all the nuttiness and camp going on around him -- as from the super villains, but more subtly from Robin and even the top cops.
@@williamhaynes4800 I took my girlfriend out for a drive in my Mustang one time and I said that line before I fired up the engine and she just looked at me weird like she was saying in her head "What the hell is he saying?" Lol 😂
I used to tell my GF at the end of our dates, "I'll see you tomorrow night, same Battime, same Batchannel; same perilous predicament." She found it quite unamusing l.
0:38 Geez. I agree 100 percent that this is terrible. “50 degrees below zero. No wonder his mind is warped.” I’m glad Batman and Robin feel bad about making Mr. Freeze.
I've always enjoyed George Sanders version of Mr. Freeze. You feel a sympathy towards his interpretation more so than Otto or Eli's spin on the character, though I did like Preminger's costume the best.
Not just fun, hilarious and arguably brilliant. When I was a kid I watched reruns of this show on Nick At Nite and The Family Channel and I thought it was just funny and ridiculous because that's how TV was back then. I knew Star Trek was made at the same time and that was ridiculous at times too so I just thought that was just the standard for the time. Now that I'm an adult I'm in on the joke and it's so much smarter and more on-the-nose than I ever thought. This show was not just fun. It's one of the best comedies of all time.
Adam West. You know, you live as long as you do, and see a whole load of stuff. And then you know that there are people that you've seen in that time. And you realize that no matter how long you have left of life on this planet, you're just never going to get as good as these guys. And that is, for me, Adam West. What an amazing man!
I agree, the Adam West Batman was the best BATMAN! Because he really cared about the rehabilitation of the criminal! He also taught the youth of the 1960's that is was right to obey the LAW
I do miss having a Batman in media that wanted people to recover. It feels like writers are under the mandate to keep the villains as villains, so long as public opinion isn't overwhelmingly for letting them reform, so they stopped bothering to bring it up.
I grew up watching the old Batman television series from the 1960's when they were re runs and my favorite villain from batman television series was The Joker because his laugh and I'm not kidding about that though
I remember a very funny visual joke at the start of this episode. Commissioner Gordon says it's July, and yet when he calls Batman, Alfred answers the call immediately after checking on the fireplace, which has flaming logs in it.
Didn't they have 3? 1 for each season. Back then cars received a new plate every year; now they get new sticker tags. That may have been the case for the Batmobile too.
@@dwlopez57 Huh ? With a nuclear powered car ? And do you know that anyone can find, via the D.O.T. , D.M.V. the owner and address of any vehicle by the license plate ? So why did Batman wear a mask and live in a cave ? His car, helicopter, boat, motorcycle all had state issued plates. Why'd he call the police commissioner on the secret red 'phone ?
I wonder how different things would've been if modern Freeze had been invented prior to the show. Given how black-and-white they chose to make the morality (batman and robin went from vigilantes to deputized officers of the law, also other stuff I can't recall), it would be an interesting challenge to adapt that version whose defining appeal is his grey morality and sympathetic qualities. Maybe he would've been one of the few incarnations to get a happy ending with Nora cured of her illness?
Batman, a noble hero that everyone can enjoy. Young & old, man & woman. Batwoman 55 years later, always playing the victim. We can only prey that the Batwoman will finally learn how to be a true hero one of these days, learn Batwoman. Learn!!!
