Shortly Fated Simply Riddled
3 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Batman in one his more amazing escapes, creates an explosion to blown him and Robin clear of becoming candle waxed figures. Meanwhile the Riddler calls Comissioner Gordon and tells that he has killed them.

Oh what a sweet fate it is, as the Riddler does not stick around long to realized that he is about to get caught up with by the dynamic duo and suffer his usual fate, back to the pokey.

Villains do not get the death penalty in the comics or on this show because they keep coming back often to give Batman his latest person to fight. Granted some of them only come calling once, but even though this is riddle-rs third time already in the first season he will be back when he get paroled in the Gothem Pen's Revolving door program.

Still, the Riddler nearly blows our duos plans to keep putting him in, and he defies rehab again. Frank Gorshin is a classic Riddler, and is one of the villains that keeps these shows top rated this first year.
