Season 2, Episode 20
10/10
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMOUS FROSTY FREEZY!
10 December 2023
The icy saga continues!

So diabolical Mr. Freeze (Otto Preminger) cleverly turns the tables on Batman and makes him out to be the villain of villains. Say it isn't so! Batman and Robin are considering ending their careers. More over, Freeze issues an ultimatum to frustrated Commissioner Gordon -- pay him a billion dollars OR he will cover Gotham City in ice, and in the middle of summer!

Doesn't get any campier than this. Wild stuff, including Miss Iceland (played by beautiful Dee Hartford) being frozen in a block of ice, all because she refuses to marry Mr. Freeze. The dirty rat! Cult film star Marie Windsor returns as Nellie, the crime reporter with another scoop on Batman.

Good BAMM, POWWW fight scene, though production notes indicate Preminger was not too cooperative with the crew. This eventually lead to his being replaced in the iconic role. It's a shame, because he truly was an unforgettable tv villain, and rates high among all the Batman baddies.

Well written by Max Hodge, especially the witty dialogue. Max wrote 4 episodes for the series, later into cop shows, such as IRONSIDE. SEASON 2 EPISODE 20 remastered color dvd box set.
