Batman: The Joker's Last Laugh (1967)
Season 2, Episode 47
10/10
LAUGHIN' ALL THE WAY TO JAIL.
20 November 2022
I agree, a WAY classic Joker episode for Cesar Romero. This time he's distributing counterfeit money all over Gotham City and having a blast! Real goofy story finds the Joker's gang manning the presses and printing out funny money as fast as they can.

Interesting gag scene finds fabulously wealthy Bruce Wayne getting in contact with the Joker --for business reasons? Adam West is fun to watch here.

Best wacky plan; the Joker plants life like robots in the bank to carry out business. Lawrence Montaigne, the perfect deadpan, plays robot Mr. Glee. Montaigne also appeared on STAR TREK at the time. For classic car buffs, catch the Joker's Jokemobile, a cool revamped 1927 Ford Model T, designed by the George Barris, who also designed the Batmobile and the MUNSTER'S classy hearse-mobile. If you look closely, it has some similar features taken from the Munster's car.

The Jokemobile was in EASY COME, EASY GO, starring Elvis. Good trivia question.

Pretty Phyllis Douglas plays the Joker's gal pal, Josie. Her claim to fame was playing a baby in GONE WITH THE WIND. She later became a realtor. Popular character actor J. Edward McKinley plays bank president F. Flamm (excellent character name), who held a record of appearing 10 times on BEWITCHED.

Directed by veteran Oscar Rudolph (THE BRADY BUNCH and other classics).

10 Joker Stars.
