  2. Howard, as always, you are amazing. You missed just one Bat villain from the list, and nailed 23! Awesome!

    Hey John,

    I think #23 is Maurice Evans as the puzzler. Howard is awesome though.

  4. Hi Doug,

    You'r pretty awesome yourself, buddy, nabbing number 23, which was super difficult. That is indeed Maurice Evans (Dr. Zaius!) as the Puzzler!

    Nice work!

  5. I think it's hilarious Cesar Romero wouldn't shave his mustache off for the Joker. You don't notice too often but, sometimes, you see this big bushy white mustache and it just kind of. . .works. . .

  6. Hi Will!

    I agree, it's pretty funny when you think about it; yet -- as you say -- it kind of works, especially 40 years on. It makes Romero's Joker all the more distinctive. I always liked his insane, hyperactive, bulgy-eyed interpretation of the character...
