Batman 1966 Mad Hatter Best Moments

Tomorrow is Halloween and so I decided to upload another best moment on a 1966 Batman villain.
This is one of the episodes I remembered my whole life.

[@anthonysherman8759]

I’ll never forget in Kindergarten we had a Easter Bonet Contest. I wanted to make a Mad Hatter Top Hat. The teacher spent hours helping me create it out of cardboard and construction paper. It had the lid up with the yellow eyes showing and laser beams shooting out. I was so proud walking past the judges with it on. And guess what? I WON!!!!

@Barry Brick and now hard to find. Today they are too concerned with telling boys they can be girls and girls can be boys

i wish i could see a pic of that bro

[@canadianscratcher7834]

What did you win?

[@LockeD333]

I never realized when I was a kid just how much effort these character actors put into this very silly show. A lot of them could have phoned it in, but almost none of them did. Gorshin, Buono, Wayne, Price, Kitt, McDowall etc.

[@radicalross7700]

How DARE you relegate the likes of Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, and Julie Newmar to a mere etc? As if they should be lumped in with a bunch of forgettable nobodies! For shame!

[@nelsoncruz8191]

I think The Mad Hatter and The Penguin were the best dressed criminals, in Tuxedos and a top hat!

[@tomkerruish2982]

And King Tut!

[@nelsoncruz8191]

@@tomkerruish2982 But as King Tut, he wasn't in a tuxedo and a top hat. Only when he became the College Professor was he properly dressed.

[@tomkerruish2982]

@@nelsoncruz8191 True, but he was very well dressed in his regal attire.

[@nelsoncruz8191]

@@tomkerruish2982 Yes, that's true.

[@michaelhampton5828]

Don't forget Louie the lilack.

[@user-ou5hz2sp3s]

In the cartoon, the Mad Hatter was a sympathetic wimpy little man in love with a girl he couldnt have. In the campy series, he was a vengful maniacle villan.

[@benwasserman8223]

Actually in the comics, a Mad Hatter with this look and motive did appear for a while. But he was eventually revealed as an imposter Jervie Tetch.

[@williamhaynes4800]

Riddler was always my favorite Batman villian, but I wanted to be one of Mad Hatter's henchmen. They were impeccably dressed and hatted

[@michaelcdavis7047]

William, I agree with your assessment about the wardrobe of Mad Hatters henchman. The actors were impeccably groomed and I loved their attire. The boutanries were a wonderful piece of their wardrobe.

[@radicalross7700]

That they were. My own love of hats, particularly fedoras, started with the Green Hornet even though blue is my favorite color.

[@gregorybush3224]

Love that character, he was so dramatic in his delivery.

[@juanmunoz2]

David Wayne was a great actor. As a little boy in the 60's his Mad Hatter character scared me.

[@lloydkline1518]

Mad hatter seems invincible

[@fictiontheorizer3594]

He's pretty intimidating isn't he? He's got that Christopher Lee bearing to him.

[@bartonstano9327]

He played a scientist in Andromeda Strain, and did a great job!

[@Gimili10]

Yeah, I remember being scared him as a child.

[@7080nik]

Yes, I was about 6 years old when this show came out and had many nightmares of the Mad Hatter and especially that machine to rip up Batman!

[@dougfredricks2017]

I miss this era of TV. And granted we had only 3 perhaps 4 channels I loved it. We laughed and had actual conversations. 🤔 Any who... The show's Today are well ... Never mind. 😆

[@Nick_C1997]

Fun story: When I was in college, I planned to make a Batman Fan Film starring the Mad Hatter (I had seen a lot of Batman Fan Films around that time and none of them involved the Mad Hatter so I wanted him to star, even though he wouldn't be the main villain), I asked my Graphic Design professor (A HUGE Batman fan) if he'd like to play the villain, he enthusiastically said yes, but he thought that he would be playing this version of the character, I showed him the Arkham version and he was genuinely terrified, but still willing to play the character, even got his own costume. I sadly never got to make the film as I couldn't get the equipment and I couldn't get anyone to play Batman (Kinda important in a Batman film)

[@jimmykovalak6442]

What was cool about Batman was these cameos. Quality actors contributed for the kids .

[@7080nik]

That machine and his paralyzing hat the Mad Hatter has frightened the hell out of me when I saw this episode as a kid. I was terrified every time I saw the Mad Hatter. Even to this day, when I first saw this video, this Hatter dude freaks me out! LOL

[@denisgauthier9191]

they don’t call him the Mad Hatter for nothing because he’s mad about hats

[@kimmolaine8069]

Mad Hatter was the scariest villain.

[@stephenrowe8352]

What about False Face?

[@fictiontheorizer3594]

When 1966's Mad Hatter is scarier than any Joker since Heath Ledger.

[@kobeescobedo9571]

It’s really crazy how some characters were portrayed way different, also wished they would’ve used other characters like Killer Croc, Zsasz, Hugo Strange, Killer Moth, and others but of course it had its limits

[@camerondodge2070]

Well, Croc and Zsasz are more recent inventions, though they did use Moth for an unaired Batgirl pilot. You can still find it out there. There were other attempts and near misses as well, Shame's second appearance took Hugo's fear gas gimmick (long before Scarecrow), and they had a Two-Face script written, even got in contact with Clint Eastwood to play Two-Face. That last one got a comic adaptation at least.

[@lloydkline1518]

❤ Jean hale ;; gorgeous looking woman didn't know she passed away this year so very sad; had a big crush on her

[@CoCotheTurtle]

"It's diabolical!" Season 1 was the best! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@RichardGarza-zo9mo]

David Wayne was a great as the Mad Hatter. The top part of this hat has those eyes that pop out to paralyzed people to sleep. Roddy McDowall did the voice of the Mad Hatter in Batman the Animated series, before he died in September of 1998.

[@cole6843]

One of my favorite villains!

[@legomaker1423]

I didn't see much of the Mad Hatter when I used to watch this Batman show when I was a kid

[@radicalross7700]

What a pity David Wayne's Mad Hatter never got to cross paths with Yvonne Craig's Batgirl. We missed out on seeing them engaged in hat to heel combat (Yvonne Craig's Batgirl was a kicker, not a puncher. Probably due to YC's ballerina background.)

[@TDGambino]

Just made a custom lego figure of this 66’ mad hatter it came out so good

[@PatBrooks-u6w]

Before Digger Barnes was a drunk, he was a brilliant villain.

[@ljr1200]

A villian that make hats.......a hat maker.........thats some next-gen terrifying f-ing sh... right there. Of course, he is a ginger as well.

[@ljr1200]

The Boy Wonder tied to a horse......I wonder what the light-in-the-loafers Mad Hatter plans to do with him....

[@labenvenci1584]

1966 : Jervis Tetch is a criminal who is obsessed with stealing Hats as the Mad Hatter, and can stun or hypnotise people with his weaponized headpiece. 1996 : Jervis Tetch is a criminal obessed with Alice and Wonderland and wants to get a perfect "Alice" with his mind control and hypnosis technology.

[@G1Grimlock94]

The greatest villains

[@paulkelley3074]

Because I like watching this batman 1966 and Avery batman cartoons and movies

[@robinsmith74]

Mad Hatter putting Robin on the Plaster Horse was so erotic.

[@gregorybush3224]

yep

[@robinsmith74]

@@gregorybush3224 How awesome would it have been if they showed Robin being lifted up and secured to the plaster horse. All while he was struggling. OMG

[@gregorybush3224]

@@robinsmith74 now now now. Remember that show had a G rating. The scene you suggested is borderline R rating. Hahahaha

[@MrBROTHERFELDER]

No doubt one of the creepiest villains on Batman. Never heard of him before that though.

[@sdseals2076]

In the scene with Batman and Robin his hair, mustache, and beard are all different colors, lol. I forgot his eyebrows are also a different color.

[@thegodblogger3812]

Mad Hatter was a little light on his toes

[@rdubayoo]

A world where women aren't repulsed by the Mad Hatter? What sorcery is this?

[@riccardobravi9754]

That's the imposter hatter

[@alchemistofsteel8099]

This is also a bizarre universe where Joker supports women's rights

Be sure to turn the volume up for the layzars.

This version Mad Hatter seems more obessesed for hats, instead of the story of alice in the wonder land.
