Promised this one quite a while back!

When I did that Cesar Romero Joker I didn’t realize how much flat out fun it was to draw the Batman TV show villains.
So, after that Joker piece and Burgess Meredith’s Penguin, I present Frank Gorshin’s Riddler. You know what’s coming next, right? Same Bat… er… channel.

You know, sometimes the mood just hits you…
So I finished up the Cesar Romero Joker and I just had to give the Burgess Meredith Penguin, from the 1960’s Batman TV show, a go. Collect ’em all!

Cesar Romero played the Joker on the 1966-68 Batman TV show.
The show was a huge hit in its debut season but the (groan) joke lost its luster and the show was cancelled after two more seasons. Still, to this day the Batman TV show casts a long shadow over all superhero works, for better or worse, and Cesar Romero’s very manic Joker was certainly a highlight.
