Batman – *Uncut* 60’s TV episodes 23+24 (1 of 6) The Ring of Wax / Give ‘Em the Axe

Here is an uncut 2-part episode of the *classic* 60’s TV show Batman! (How amazing is Adam West?!)

Unlike the hacked-to-death episodes aired on cable, this episode is complete! (It even has the original ABC “in color” opening, as well as the iconic “BATMAN! – In Color” bit too!)

One other thing this episode still contains is the “next week’s villain” preview that is tacked to the end of “Give ‘Em the Axe” (part 6). These previews were cut from the prints when the show went into syndication.

For those of you keeping score, these are episodes 23 & 24 of the show’s first season. It’s the third time Frank Gorshin played the Riddler.

Hopefully, this wonderful series will find its way to either DVD or Blu-Ray soon. It’s a shame that the powers-that-be can’t come together and finally get this series out for us to enjoy. Because when you get right down to it, the major entertainment crazes of the 60’s were the “Three B’s” (Beatles, Bond, and Batman).

Duration : 0:8:35

    All of Frank Gorshin’s Riddler appearances were superb.

    the super-sexy “Moth” was played by Linda Scott, also credited through the 1960’s as Linda Gaye Scott.

    The purple suit she wore got another workout in season 2 by Burt Ward’s ex-wife Kathy Kersh in an episode featuring the Joker.
