I know Penguin was in the Batcave. There was one episode in which Joker, Penguin, and the Riddler (I think) hid out in the trunk of the Batmobile and were driven into the Batcave. Now another question: How many villains were there, and who were they? That should keep you people occupied for a while.

The penguin was in the batcave disguised as a commodore or something in the pilot episode of Batman. Furthermore, he was in there with several of his henchmen who were dehydrated, and then disintegrated when they were rehydrated with heavy water. The Joker once made it down the batpoles, but trusty Alfred made sure that he didn't make it all the way down to the Batcave. Here's a list of all the villians I can remember. The Joker Cesar Romero The Penguin Burgess Meredith The Riddler Frank Gorshin & John Astin The Catwoman Lee Meriwether, Eartha Kitt & Julie Newmar King Tut Victor Buono Shane Cliff Robertson The Egghead Vincent Price Louie the Lilac Milton Berle Minerva Zsa Zsa Gabor Chandell Liberace Mr. Freeze Eli Wallach, George Sanders & Otto Preminger The Siren Joan Collins Marsha, Queen of Diamonds Carolyn Jones Ma Barker Shelly Winters False Face ? Mr & Mrs Zodiac Howard Duff & Ida Lupino The Sandman ? The Minstrel Van Johnson The Archer Art Carney The Mad Hatter David Wayne ? Jill St. John Lord Fogg ? Olga Anne Baxter ? Ethel Merman Lucky Pierre Pierre Salinger I also remember an episode where the villians were two magicians who used cheap theatre gags in all the crimes. One of them operated out of a trick shop. I can't remember the characters name or who played them though. Can anyone add anybody to this list? Extra question: What powers/gags to these villians have? Robert A.

I remember an episode where the Catwoman was in the batcave, her and batman were involved in a steamy struggle, and she was about to fall into a tank of some chemical that would kill her. if i remember correctly batman could have let her fall in but instead he held on to her. if this wasn't the catwoman what villian was it - i definitely remember it was in the batcave, does anyone else remember an episode like this??? also doesn't anyone remember BATGIRL?
edward@ukma.UUCP (Edward C. Bennett) (06/30/85)
King Tut somehow deduced that the Batcave was under stately Wayne
Manor. He purchased a neighboring piece of property and dug a tunnel under
Wayne Manor to the Batcave. He broke through the final wall by zooming down
his mine shaft in an ore car and busting through.
In this same episode, Batman and Robin had to run back up the tunnel
and 'break the 2 minute mile'.

Didn't Catwoman make it into the Batcave, too? I think Martin Landau was False Face. What was the license plate number of the Batmobile and how many miles was the Batcave from Gotham City? I loved the way they used those wierd angles when they showed the criminals (Crooked angles, I'm sure).
sas@leadsv.UUCP (Scott Stewart) (07/02/85)
> > > > 6) Who was the only villian ever to find and infiltrate the Batcave? This question seams to be causing a lot of different answers. Every major villain (Catwoman, Riddler, Joker, & Penquin) has been mentioned as the correct answer. Now it may be true that all of them have been in the Batcave, but I believe the question is asking for the villain who found and infiltrated the Batcave through his own reasoning and efforts. To illustrate this better, in the movie Penquin did get into the Batcave, but Batman gave him some Batgas and knocked him out. The Penquin did not know the location of the Batcave, and wouldn't be able to find it again. I believe in another episode some villain hid in the trunk of the Batmobile, so that villain also infiltrated the Batcave, but did not find it. The only villain I can remember who deduced where the Batcave was, and then infiltrated by means of the sewer system or some old abondon mine shafts, or sometyhing like that was King Tut. Fortunately for our heros, he shifted back to his non-criminal personality (remember he had a split personality) during the fight and lost all memory of the Batcave's location. Will the author of the questions please clear up the debate going on by letting us know waht answer he was looking for, and if my argument above is correct. Scott A. Stewart LMSC

I can remember one more Batman villain - Roddy McDowell played the "Bookworm". I don't ever remember Jill St. John playing a "premium" villain(ess?) - she did play a sidekick of the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), who, disguised as Robin, made it into the Batcave and subsequently died when she fell into the Batreactor.

After he added water, the men came alive. Unfortunately, for him, when hit they disappeared. And if it was the movie, I think that, given the nature of the evildoers' alliance, that the Joker (at least) was probably there as well. > some villain hid in the trunk of the Batmobile, so that villain also > infiltrated the Batcave, but did not find it.

He was tunnelling around "stately Wayne manor." Unfortunately, all this disruption caused a mild earthquake and a rock fell down and hit Tut on the head. Instant amnesia. Really. That's the only thing that saved Batman's bacon that time. A weaker way out than the usual utility belt device. And Batman admitted it, "Geology is, at best, an inexact science." (or something like that) It seems to me like these are all answers to the question. Whether or not the infiltration was repeatable is not the point to the villains, only that they could penetrate the cave and perform their evildoing. -- --rick heli (... ucbvax!ucdavis!groucho!ccrrick)

a supply of Carbomite and if you know what's good for you... Let's see, actors that appeared on both Star Trek and Batman: Julie Newmar played both the Catwomen on Batman and the High Teir's wife on S.T. Lee Meriwether : Catwoman - Computer generated image which protected a ghost ghost planet Frank Gorshin: Riddler - half black, half white alien Yvonne Craig: Batgirl - green alien at rehabilitation planet, one of Lord Garth's cohorts.

You should also remember that they kidnapped Harriett Cooper and suspended her over a "birthday cake." > Can anyone add anybody to this list? Nora Clavicle - the Women's libber who became police commissioner. (Things went downhill when Batgirl was added.) Colonel Gumm (in the Green Hornet Episode) - it was GH's nightstick not appearing on the stamps that told Batman that GH&K were still alive.
