Batman: Batman Sets the Pace (1966)
Season 1, Episode 26
8/10
Great Part 2 of Joker High Jinx
4 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a fun part 2 of this installment of the Joker, as it gets into the real reason for all the silly crimes in part 1. What is notable here at this point in the series is some of the dialog between Comissioner Gordon and Chief Ohara. I noted there is a point where Gordon (Hamilton) flubs his script line and O'Hara actually covers for him subtly by suggesting what he should have said, but didn't. These 2 supporting actors are old pros whose experience shows here.

There is plenty of great stuff here for Batman fans. What is amazing this first season is not just the villains, but the way the story lines keep the supporting actors busy as well.

Support like this happened in quite a few of the 1960's sitcoms and this series is no exception. That is because so many veteran actors were available and worked hard to perform that this series is so strong this first season. Even when the scripts get real hokey, the actors bring off the show.

This Joker installment is one of the best of season 1.

Stay tuned for more, same bat time, same bat channel.
