Batman - The Conclusion of Our Story (1966)

Neal Hefti 1922-2008

This is my all time favorite Neal Hefti track - off an LP of Batman "inspired" songs. This track is titled The Mafista!

Neal Hefti 1922-2008

This is from a sensational LP of Neal Hefti instrumentals - the track is called Evil Plot to Blow Up Batman.

Batman with guest star John Astin (1967)

For years the debate has raged on about who was the superior Catwoman - Eartha Kitt or Julie Newmar? However, one debate that has never been raised, let alone raged, is who was the superior Riddler. It hasn't, nor will it ever be a real question. Frank Gorshin is more established as The Riddler than he is anything else - an impressionist, nightclub comic, or actor. Frank Gorshin is The Riddler, period. That's why it always feels so weird when this episode of Batman comes on TV featuring Gomez Addams, John Astin, in the role. Pretty interesting tho. These episodes aired not before Gorshin played The Riddler and not after, but in between. Gorshin had established the character, Astin filled in briefly, Gorshin returned to the part in the fall. Listen to Frank Gorshin sing the novelty track (written by Mel Torme!) pictured above by clicking here.

Batman with guest stars Vincent Price and Alan Hale Jr. (1967)

Batman with guest cameo by Joe E. Ross (1967)

Not to mention Eartha Kitt, of course, and a cameo from Dick "Hank" Kallman. Joe E. Ross you surely know from Sgt. Bilko, Car 54 Where Are You and It's About Time. I'll finally be uploading that dreadful Joe E. Ross comedy LP next week.
