14. BOOKWORM (RODDY MCDOWALL)
time of year 1 ( EPISODES 29 , 30 )
Between film , video , and house , Planet of the ApesstarRoddy McDowall ’s resume is a mile long — so it should come as no surprisal that he was able-bodied to sneak in two episodes as an original baddie named Bookworm onBatman . Committing crimes inspired by literary deeds , Bookworm was created for the show , but would later fare to figure in theBatmancomic books as well .
15. THE ARCHER (ART CARNEY)

Once you understand thatThe Honeymoonersveteran Art Carney is playingBatmanvillain The Archer in the first two episode of the show ’s 2d time of year , you should at once know that the character is mostly go to be played for joke .

16. MINSTREL (VAN JOHNSON)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 5,6 )
Minstrel only appeared in two time of year - twoBatmanepisodes , but he ’s a tough one to block because Van Johnson ’s performance is so mesmerise . The villain was about as milquetoast as one arrest — he abominate violence and spill the beans songs about the crimes he had put ( or was about to commit)—but it ’s still hard to get Minstrel out of your head .
17. MA PARKER (SHELLEY WINTERS)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 9 , 10 )
time of year two villain Ma Parker wasallabout Shelley Winters ’s hilariously evil operation . Full of bravado and a punning a instant , the character was a simple area mother who has an affinity for brawny guns .

time of year 2 ( EPISODES 11 , 12 )
Tony Award - advance actor Walter Slezak suited up as Clock King for two season - two episodes ofBatmanusing an age-old clock to plunder a jewelry store before Batman and Robin are on his tail .

Oh , and onereallybig hourglass .
19. EGGHEAD (VINCENT PRICE)
time of year 2 ( EPISODES 13 , 14 ) , SEASON 3 ( EPISODES 8 , 9 , 15 )
It ’s hard not to love Vincent Price ’s uproariously campy portrayal of Egghead during five episodes inBatman ’s run . With his touch white-hot and scandalmongering suit and enormous bald-pated head , Price overplay to perfection as the extremely intelligent , eggcentric ( get it ? ) villain . The fictitious character had a den decked out with bacon and egg draft on the bulwark and tossed laughing and tear gas eggs at his foe . Egghead is , quite possibly , the most lovable of allBatmanvillains .
20. CHANDELL (LIBERACE)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 15 , 16 )
For two episodes , the piano virtuoso play both Chandell ( the piano player ) and his twin sidekick Harry ( who , it turns out , is therealvillain here ) , and the results were a lot of fun .

21. MARSHA, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS (CAROLYN JONES)
time of year 2 ( EPISODES 23 , 24 , 42 , 43 , 44 )
Here ’s a bit of cooltriviafor you : Carolyn Jones , who played the baseball field - loving villainess Marsha , Queen of Diamonds in five time of year - twoBatmanepisodes , also play Morticia Addams in ABC’sThe Addams Family . We already told you about John Astin ’s connection to that series , but there ’s also a abbreviated coming into court by Ted Cassidy ( who played Lurch in that show ) during one ofBatman ’s iconic Batclimbs . How ’s that for synergism !
22. SHAME (CLIFF ROBERTSON)
time of year 2 ( EPISODES 25 , 26 ) , SEASON 3 ( EPISODES 21 , 22 )
Clearly a parody of the classic 1953 Western movie quality Shane ( from the film of the same name ) , Cliff Robertson ’s villain Shame appeared in fourBatmanepisodes with two dissimilar posse comitatus . In the first , he was conjoin by Okie Annie ( Joan Staley)—an obvious riff on Annie Oakley — and , in the second , he had Calamity Jan ( Dina Merrill ) by his side .
23. PUZZLER (MAURICE EVANS)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 31 , 32 )
Not to be confused with The Riddler , Maurice Evans as Puzzler also liked to keep Batman and Robin confused with cunning puzzle , tidings games , and tricks . He was often see recite Shakespeare and had a matter for airmanship . accord toWikia , Puzzler ’s appearance only come about because Frank Gorshin no longer desire to play The Riddler during season two , so the show slotted Puzzler into these two episode instead . Of course , John Astin would play The Riddler later in time of year two and Gorshin would return to the light-green leotards in time of year three .
24. SANDMAN (MICHAEL RENNIE)
time of year 2 ( EPISODES 33 , 34 )
Portrayed by veteran thespian Michael Rennie , Sandman ’s two - episode appearance duringBatman ’s second time of year was often overshadow by the fact that he was working alongside the beautiful Julie Newmar as Catwoman . But fans should give the shifty Dr. Somnambular his due — the guy did have eternal sleep powers after all !
25. COLONEL GUMM (ROGER C. CARMEL)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 51 , 52 )
Roger C. Carmel ’s operation as Colonel Gumm is mostly remembered for the villain ’s penchant for wearing pink , being surround by pink , and being obsess with stamps . Therealmemorable affair about Colonel Gumm ’s two - instalment bow , however , is the fact that the episodes feature crossover coming into court by Green Hornet ( Van Williams ) and Kato ( Bruce Lee ) .
26. BLACK WIDOW (TALLULAH BANKHEAD)
SEASON 2 ( EPISODES 55 , 56 )
The most tragic matter about the great Tallulah Bankhead ’s fantastic performance as time of year two villainess Black Widow inBatmanis the fact that it would be her concluding on - blind theatrical role . deck out in her touch mordant and carmine outfits , the case was unforgettable — whether she was stealing from a bank or hang out in her sensational wanderer - theme lair .
27. SIREN (JOAN COLLINS)
time of year 3 ( EPISODES 2 , 3 )
Siren , played by Joan Collins , began her ingress into the world ofBatmanas a bit of a chum in The Riddler ’s devious plan to take over Gotham City ’s boxing game . By her 2nd sequence , however , the singing Siren made a programme to reveal Batman ’s true identity all by herself . Memorable for her peach , luxurious outfit , and her ability to spellbind military personnel with her gamy - octave melodic line , Siren made an unerasable bell ringer on the series in the pair of only two episodes .
28. LOLA LASAGNE (ETHEL MERMAN)
time of year 3 ( EPISODES 4 , 5 )
Despite the charming and talented Ethel Merman ’s performance , Lola Lasagne was one ofBatman ’s least interesting and memorable villains . For one , her weapon of selection was the parasol . Secondly , she mostly played in the shadows of one of the show’smostmemorable baddie , The Penguin . If it were n’t for Ethel Merman , we might not recollect Lola at all .
29. LOUIE THE LILAC (MILTON BERLE)
SEASON 3 ( EPISODES 7 , 18 )
Louie the Lilac , on the other hand , made a vast mark onBatmanby being such a brilliant , colorful character reference ( with such a placeable face behind it ) that two episodes are more than enough to make rooter think him . There ’s a whole lot of Milton Berle himself in Louie ’s demeanor , even down to the histrion ’s signature cigar , which is part of what constitute the character ( created specifically for the show ) employment . Louie the Lilac also go on to seem in five episode of the animated seriesBatman : The Brave and the Bold .
30. OLGA, QUEEN OF THE COSSACKS (ANNE BAXTER)
SEASON 3 ( EPISODES 8 , 15 )
Remember how we told you that Zelda the Great would not be the last you ’d see of Anne Baxter inBatman ? That ’s because she ’s the show ’s only guest scoundrel to ever come back to play a different baddie on the show afterward . This time around , she portrayed Egghead ’s main squeeze , Olga , Queen of the Cossacks . The showy villainess mostly sat back while Egghead and his collaborator take care of business , but she ’s a memorable graphic symbol nonetheless .
31. LORD MARMADUKE FFOGG (RUDY VALLEE)
time of year 3 ( EPISODES 11 , 12 , 13 )
The coolest affair about Lord Marmaduke Ffogg ( who come out in three episode as the co - villain alongside his babe Lady Penelope Peasoup ) was easily his Pipe of Fog . All the august lord had to do is light that affair up and the room would commence to fulfil with a white , puffy skunk — perfect to conceal his lam . play by Rudy Vallee , the baddie also wore a limited mould on his fundament to make people think he had the gout and was , therefore , incapable of pull off his crimes . Clever man .
32. LADY PENELOPE PEASOUP (GLYNIS JOHNS)
Though Lord Marmaduke Ffogg seem to be the main villain in this three - episode arc , his sister Lady Penelope Peasoup in reality came across as more interesting and magnetic . Despite being relegate to mostly take bearing of the distaff criminals in their charge , Lady Penelope ( played by Glynis Johns ) makes her soft touch on the series .
33. NORA CLAVICLE (BARBARA RUSH)
SEASON 3 ( EPISODE 19 )
It ’s almost a shame that someone as talented as Barbara Rush ( It come from Outer Space ) was saddled with another ofBatman ’s least memorable villains . In her one visual aspect on the show , Nora Clavicle used her brain and charm to convince Mayor Linseed to give her the Commissioner job , which is all part of a roundabout programme to demolish Gotham City and collect on an policy claim . How did she plan to do it , though ? With mechanical mice . Since she replaced the police strength with homemaker , they ’re all afraid of computer mouse . Pretty sexist , right ? Ahh , those crazy sixties .
34. CALAMITY JAN (DINA MERRILL)
SEASON 3 ( EPISODES 21 , 22 )
It ’s a shame thatBatmandidn’t really let Dina Merrill ’s Calamity Jan be much more than build up confect for their western spoof baddie Shame , but at least the actress does the well she can with the cloth she ’s got . Calamity Jan came across as endearing and cockamamie , but just saucy enough to probably be able to ditch Shame and bring Batman and Robin to their stifle . unhappily , we ’ll never know if that ’s true since she ’s mostly playing 2nd violin to Cliff Roberston ’s Shame .
35. DR. CASSANDRA SPELLCRAFT (IDA LUPINO)
time of year 3 ( EPISODE 25 )
Ida Lupino helped pave the way for female director ofourtime , so it should issue forth as no surprisal that she wasverymuch the lead power in the villainous duo that headlinesBatman ’s penultimate installment . Dr. Cassandra Spellcraft come from a long production line of female alchemist , but she ’s determined to be the only successful one . So she apply her power to convey down the Bat . Or tries , at least . She ’s a smart , coloured character in many way , but the way she place her silly husband Cabala in his property is the very best matter about her .
36. CABALA (HOWARD DUFF)
After a few installment that featured distaff scoundrel mostly relegated to storyline dominated by male power ( Nora Clavicle and Calamity Jan ) , it was great to see one where the man completely and utterly does anything he can to make his wife well-chosen . Played by Howard Duff , Cabala is less a scoundrel and more a crony to Dr. Cassandra Spellcraft . He ’ll do anything to please her , calls her “ Doccy Baby , ” and can often be caught look into himself out in the mirror rather than plotting villainous schemes .
37. MINERVA (ZSA ZSA GABOR)
SEASON 3 ( EPISODE 26 )
Batman ’s last villain is also one of its most glamourous . play by Zsa Zsa Gabor , Minerva unfold a health resort hotel in Gotham City and used her Deepest Secret Extractor to run amok . She ’s tear off robberies left and right , and even Alfred gets knotty going surreptitious to avail The Dynamic Duo . What makes Minerva so memorable , however , is the principal great power of Gabor . Sure , she ’s mostly just say “ Darlings … ” a lot , but her appearance as the atomic number 78 - dress villainess will likely never be forgotten .
