Warning: Spoilers
If not for Batman's Utility Belt, this episode would have ended the series. Riddler and the rats get snared into the believe he has killed Batman and Robin.

Meanwhile, Comissioner Gordon summons Bruce Wayne for money to pay for the abduction of ..but while Wayne is in his office -Batman shows up. For the first time in the series, Bruce Wayne actually faces himself and is beside himself. It is really quite an act.

The Riddler provides quite a chase here. His clues do get simpler while he believes Batman is dead, but then he actually makes things pretty complicated for everybody. This is a fitting conclusion for the 12th episode of this 30 minute classic series.

This is the second part of Gorshin's best Riddler episodes in the series. It would have been a real sacrifice if he had ever not been available but fortunately he was. I still wish Julie Newmar could have done Cat Woman in the movie, but she was one of 3 women to do the role on the show. If the show had run longer, would there have been 9?

There is only one Riddler, and when does a riddle make Batman scared? Never, Bat Fans.
