Are these Batman '66 villains from DC comics, or were they invented for the show?
Can you guess which of these rogues' gallery baddies are from the comics?
Thanks to a MeTV fan who suggested this quiz on the MeTV Facebook page! Do you have a great idea for a quiz? Submit it here!
The 1966 series Batman is memorable for a lot of reasons. The "holy catchphrase, Batman!". The BAM! POW! bubbles that popped up. However, you could argue that one of the most memorable parts is the colorful rogues' gallery.
The world of DC comics gave the show writers plenty of distinctive villains to put on the screen. However, they also made a few new ones along the way!
Some of these adversaries were so popular that they later showed up in comics down the line (or had cameos in movies!) We're asking if these dastardly foes were first seen in the 1966 TV show, or if they had been pulled from the world of the comics.

Didn’t so well on that one.
11/13.

10/13. I don’t remember False Face and Puzzler in the comic books. The closest to them I recall are Two-Face and The Cluemaster.

well..never read the comics and then I am sure the villains migrated to the show - goofy quiz IF you didn't do the comic thing

Retest: I got 11/13 right.
Retest: I got 9/13 correct.
13/13 - Hey wait a second. Isn’t that The Munster’s address?
Yep, on Mockingbird Lane!
Eight out of 13.
Number 8 is a misleading. The name Mr. Freeze was created for the TV series. He was based on a character from the comics called Mr. Zero. The character was then re-named in the comics.
9 out of 13. Then again I'm more of a Marvel fan than a DC Comics fan. I've been a Marvel fan since '93 before it was popular.
9/13. 69.2 grade. A strong D+ and was a passing grade during my school days.
4 out of 13. I was NOT a comic book reader growing up but I did watch the show, which is my lame excuse for not knowing where the villians originated.
13/13 🦸
I think they owe me one. I never heard of "The Puzzler" in question three so I assumed it was something designed for the show. Now, if it had been listed correctly as "The Riddler", then yes, straight from the comics!
No, Puzzler was a Riddler clone...LOL!
10 of 13. I guessed on most of them. I never read comic books when I was a kid. The only one I ever got was a Space Ghost comic when I was in the hospital for a couple of days.
The only comics I had when I was a kid were second and third hand. Never had a new book either
9 out of 13. I could've sworn Bookworm was in the comics. I also accidentally hit the wrong answer on the Mad Hatter, and I didn't know that False Face was in the comics.
11/13 🦇
I wasn't into comic books in my youth, so I guessed most of these.

yeah for me ...well I was into the magazines with the centerfolds:)
Uh oh😂
The worst "Riddler" was John Asten.
Thankfully he was only on once.
Frank Gorshin was and always the best actor to play "The Riddler".
And Burgess Merideth as "The Penguin", you could always tell where the makeup artist put on his nose.
And Cesar Romero as "The Joker", with his laugh, that was memorable, although you could see where the makeup artist painted over his mustache. He always refused to shave it off.

Heath Ledger’s Joker performance was an amalgamation of several Jokers from Hammil’s to Nicholson’s. But when it came to his laugh, he went straight to Romero for inspiration. I can’t not hear Caesar Romero when he does it in The Dark Knight.
