Not one single: “Holy _____, Batman!”

My favorite was: “Holy dental hygiene, Batman!”

Yahoo had a story about a 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released. It was made in a rush, in 21 days, and is apparently really campy.

The story is it was never made to be released but had everything to do with preserving a copyright claim or some such thing.

Well, here’s a Batman TV trivia question for you. Which repeating villain was played by a different actor each time?

That was one of the best lines in that movie, which is well worth re-watching.

I think the documentary disputes the idea it was never meant to be released. It is possible that they decided that when they saw it. lol.

Those are the stars that they chose to name? What about Cesar Romero as the Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penguin, and Frank Gorshin as the Riddler? They were the most frequent guest villians.

Hmmm. Good one. The only one that comes to mind who was played by different actors was Mr. Freeze. I know Otto Preminger was not the only one...though I don't recall the names of the other actors.

List of recurring Batman villains;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_%28TV_series%29

Was looking up the cast and the cameo list is just as impressive.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059968/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

Think it would take a show with a 8 to 9 figure budget do do anything comparable these days.

Me...I liked Green Hornet with Bruce Lee kicking ass every week. Everyone started taking Kung Foo lessons after that.

I believe they appeared on an episode of Batman
