Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode, as originally planned, was to feature actor Malachi Throne in a series of make-ups. Because of budgetary concerns, Throne played the role in a plastic mask, with other actors playing the disguised False-Face throughout. Because he felt that, as a result of the mask, there was no real acting on his part, he asked that his name be removed from the credits. This was done, with a question mark ("?") substituting where Throne's name would normally be, until the final credits of the second episode ("Holy Rat Race"), when his full name was shown.
- GoofsDuring the first pursuit, the truck is black but in the close-up, the truck is white even before the color change occurs behind the building.
- Crazy creditsThe credits say Special guest villain ? as False Face

Featured review
True or False Face
False Face is a master of disguise. In this story he is credited with a question mark. In this story the master of deception plans to rob a valuable clown.
He poses as an aide to the princess but it turns out that she is also a fake. So is the crown, that is made from plastic.
Commissioner Gordon is stumped and calls for Batman and Robin.
False Face assisted by Blaze plans to stop the Dynamic Duo. He also has a plan for Gotham City, one that will make him a lot of money.
This story is the only appearance of False Face. He looks creepy with his plasticated face. He also has a touch of the Riddler about him.
It also leads to a sinister portrayal of Chief O'Hara. As False Face takes his image.
