	Frank Gorshin, 'Batman' Riddler, Dies at 72 - New York Times
		Frank Gorshin, a prolific actor and impressionist whose career was long identified with a questionable character, the Riddler on television's original "Batman," but later highlighted by his Broadway impersonation of a more amiable one, George Burns, died on Tuesday in Burbank, Calif. He was 72.
		Gorshin was a hard-working but hardly famous character actor and nightclub regular when he was chosen to play a bodysuited misanthrope with a taste for bad puns and mayhem.
		Gorshin is survived by a son, Mitch, of Orlando, Fla.; a sister, Dottie Roland of Pittsburgh; and a grandson, Brandon.

		Frank Gorshin, who died on Tuesday aged 72, made many film and television appearances but was most memorable as the frenzied Riddler in the 1960s hit television show Batman.
		Gorshin was the only Batman actor nominated for an Emmy, and many fans of the series considered that Jim Carrey's version of the Riddler in the film Batman Forever (1995) failed to match up to Gorshin's.
		Born in Pittsburgh on April 5 1934, Frank Gorshin was the son of a rail worker and a sempstress.
