Who was the villain? And how did they escape certain doom?
My favorite was the time they were hung from their wrists over a vat of boiling - um, oil? Wax? Acid? I’m not really sure, after all these years. As the credits rolled, they were slowly lowered toward death by - um, “something wet and unpleasant”.
The escape? I didn’t see it - I may have been grounded for the next episode, or I may have been sick, but I missed it, dammit. I’m told they swung themselves back and forth, reaching the edge of the vat in the nick of time. Sure woulda liked to have seen that . . . I figure this one’s my favorite 'cause I never got “closure”.
So, how about you? What’s your favorite deathtrap? How much of it do you *really * remember?
I don’t remember the villian, nor the escape. But I do remember one episode where the caped crusader and his sidekick are tied to parabolic, sun reflecting dishes on some rooftop. And the only reason I remember this episode is because the villian further informs them that the dishes have been coated with margerine to increase their reflectivity. To which, Robin gets to quote the line…
“Holy oleo, Batman !”
Now if I could just get this erased from my memory…
Holy crap, the Siamese Human Knot is both the worst and best thing to ever happen to old Batman I’ve ever heard of. Bend your fourth finger indeed. How about the other three?
Damn, I’d forgotten about that one. That was one scary-looking clam. Of course, I could never figure out how the thing got Robin in its mouth, as it was floating on top of the water. . .
Catwoman had the Dynamic Duo tied up and suspended over a pit of hungry tigers. As they were being lowered into the pit Robin looked up at her and said “Catowman, you are not a nice person!”
