The Joker and Bruce Wayne get into "pop art".
I have never been into paintings and I was a child of the 1970s instead of the 1960s, so many of the jokes in this two-parter went a bit over my head. To me atleast, some of the humour in this adventure seemed a bit too simple minded, such as the bit where the Joker "corrects" Bruce on his artistic skills. The wit of the Batman series is usually more clever than this. But again, this might just be me being out of my element. There is a lot to enjoy in this two-parter.
The parts where Robin and Bruce Wayne (not Batman) team up are well done and part two is actually better than part one.
I mainly know Fritz Feld from his three Lost In Space appearances, as "Mr Zumdish", and he seems to be playing almost the same character here.
And finally, the smash hit Batman movie of 1989 almost seems to be paying tribute to this episode as Jack Nicholson (The Joker) shares the same terrible sense of art as Romero does here.
This might not be my favourite Joker adventure, but this 1966 Batman series is just not capable of doing a bad episode...so enjoy!
