@Lincolnfan78

100%The Joker Goes To School/He Meet His Match, The Grisly Ghoul

Amazing plot, Joker, great lesson, but most importantly, Dick Grayson in gym short-shorts

Right, @basicallytimdrake and @TheWifeOfJasonTodd?

[Lincolnfan78]

Tagging @Moderators, @Don-El, @Vroom, @msgtv, @HubCityQuestion, @StrangeVisitor, @RexRebel & @DC89 I’ve made a Tournament poll for the Best Episode Of Batman 1966 if you’re interested.

@Lincolnfan78

there you have it! Thankyou so much for voting!

Thank you so much for setting this up! Your voting sessions are always a hoot.

[basicallytimdrake]

Yes absolutely (I have never seen this episode I don’t know what you’re talking about)

[Jurisdiction]

That’s a crime. Watch all of Batman ‘66!

I can’t believe you watched Gotham before watching the most iconic superhero show to ever surface!

[basicallytimdrake]

I’ve seen a lot of Batman 66! I watch it with my grandma. But Gotham has one thing Bman 66 does not. Robin Lord Taylor. Also Gotham is more interesting.

@Jurisdiction

Dick Grayson in gym short-shorts

Sounds great to me.

[mercurie80]

The hardest of these for me was “The Purr-fect Crime/Better Luck Next Time” vs. “True Or False Face/Holy Rat Race.” Both are two of my favorite episodes!

@Lincolnfan78

Hi Diddle Riddle/Smack In The Middle

@Lincolnfan78

The Zodiac Crimes/The Joker’s Hard Times/The Penguin Declines

@Lincolnfan78

Surf Up! Joker’s Under!

The best ones.

[Zontar_of_Pellucidar]

So right - they spent a lot on Purr-fect Crime, maybe cuz those were the episodes that became a Viewmaster set. And the False Face episodes seem like were the most often referenced for the reunion TV movie “Back to the Batcave”, so both of these belong in the top 10 sets of episodes

[TheBatgirlofNML]

The Green Hornet crossover is what got me into DC specifically. I loved that episode and started keeping a special eye out for the “DC characters” like Batman and Green Hornet. (Joke was on me I guess). This episode was amazing.

[Zontar_of_Pellucidar]

What’s really amusing is that the only episodes on here to get ZERO votes - Devil’s Fingers - was the highest rated episode of the series (since there were a lot of mature ladies who tuned in that one time, and only because Liberace was the guest star)

[mercurie80]

It’s kind of odd that “The Devil’s Fingers”/“Dead Ringers” has received no votes. I always liked that episode and I think Liberace was great. I think it’s because it is up against one of the most famous episodes, “Hizzonner The Penguin”/“Dizzonor The Penguin,” which even provided inspiration for Batman Returns and Gotham.
