| | Frank Gorshin Website-The Riddler |
 | | The Riddler delights in leaving Batman (Adam West) and Robin fiendish clues to his crimes and the series played up the camp potential of heroes and villains in fancy dress, with fist fights overwritten with such words as “Pow”, “Zap”, “Biff” and “Boff”. |
 | | His manic portrayal of The Riddler in the Batman TV series was directly responsible for turning the character in the comics from a minor villain into one of Batman's top major recurring enemies. |
 | | Clad in a green suit, green tights and bowler hat, all covered in question marks, Gorshin's cackling, frenzied portrayal of one of Batman's craftiest supervillains, whose catchphrase was "Riddle me this, Batman", not only set the tone for the hugely popular series, but inspired future nemeses of the "caped crusader". |
