Arkham Loses Another Patient: RIP Frank Gorshin

“What’s black and white and red all over?”

“A newspaper.”

Farewell, Riddler. You’ll certainly be missed by this Batfan.

Frank Gorshin
1933-2005

Oh God, please don’t let Adam West be next!

You know what’s sad? Most of the Bat Villains are dead now:

Joker: Cesar Romero
Penguin: Burgess Meredith
Riddler: Frank Gorshin
Egghead: Vincent Price
King Tut: Victor Buono
Chandell: Liberace
Louie the Lilac: Milton Berle

Sure, I grew up on the show while it was in syndication, but I still feel like I’m losing my childhood. Then again, I’m sure there are a bunch of Baby Boomers who probably feel the same way, about the same exact show…
