Batman: The Clock King's Crazy Crimes (1966)
Season 2, Episode 11
Good Show With Some Oddball Elements
25 March 2010
This is a bit of an oddball two-parter. A scene with Batman and Robin sitting down to have a bat-burger is memorable and okay I guess. The background music sounds different than usual and it is used more often, almost constantly for the whole 25 minutes in fact.

There is one problem area and he comes from my home land Australia: Michael Pate as Clock King's oddball co-worker in crime! Pate is seriously mis-cast as the fool and it is rather uncomfortable watching him do this role. Pate did better work around this time and at the same 20th Century Fox studio with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Time Tunnel.

Clock King himself is just an okay bad guy, at this stage in the series we the viewers had seen so many Bat-bad-guys and Clock King does not compare to characters like The Joker and The Riddler.

This is good but not great.
