“A “Whack!”, followed by a “stab!”, followed by a “ker-bang!”
(Yeah... I grew up when “Batman” was a TV series...”)

Thanks for the laugh!!!

I think that was more of the assassin’s mentality with that kind of weapon.

You know, shake hands to put him off-guard, pull him in close, then “plork”...

The best scene ever... “Bat Shark Repellent” with the shark hanging off his leg while on the ladder from the Bat Copter...

Ceasare Romero as the Joker... Victor Buono as King Tut... Frank Gorshin as the Riddler... Burgess Meredith as The Penguin... who else... Eartha Kitt as Catwoman... ANyone else?

It's a pin fire cartridge gun. There was no need to keep an empty cylinder under the hammer as these were designed to keep the hammer dropped between cylinders when carried. There was no way you could rest the hammer on the pin as this would slowly press the pin into the cartridge. There was usually a detent built into the space between the cylinders for the hammer to keep it safe.

Similarly there is a little nib on Colt black powder cap and ball revolvers between the cylinders to allow the hammer to be rested there for safe carry with all cylinders loaded.

Shark repellent, Lol!

How could you forget Alfred, his butler! Wasn’t there a Mr Freeze as one of the villains as well?

[NFHale]

Didn’t forget ol’ Alfred!!!

Mr. Freeze! Yes... who the Hell played Freeze???

Otto Preminger in the 1966 movie... George Sanders in the TV series...

What a funny old show. Loved it when I was a kid.
