One of the greatest villains of all time is the Riddler, also known as Edward Nygma. Although the Riddler first appeared in the comics, a lot of what made the character so iconic and enjoyable came from Frank Gorshin, the first actor that ever played the character. The Riddler is going to be the villain in 2022's Batman film, which sounds awesome, but frankly, I'm not excited. From what I've heard, that version of the Riddler is going to be a serial killer, and that's not what I want the Riddler to act like. I could do a rant on that version of the Riddler, but I'd rather focus on the best version of the Riddler, the 60's version.
There were movie serials in the 1940's, but none of them featured Batman villains from the comics. Frank Gorshin has the honor of being the first actor to play a Batman villain from the comics. At the time, the Riddler had only appeared a couple of times in the comics. Joker, پینگوئن, پیںگان and Catwoman were already iconic Batman villains, but the Riddler wasn't that well known. However, that changed in 1966. Frank Gorshin brought the character to a new level of fame. The 1960's Batman series was full of scene-stealing baddies, and Frank Gorshin was one of the very best. He made the Riddler a sinister, clever mastermind, in addition to being eccentric and hilarious. His version of the Riddler left a big impression on the writers and fans. In the show's first season, Riddler appeared in four two-part adventures, equaling eight episodes. The Joker and پینگوئن, پیںگان only appeared in three two-part adventures, which made the Riddler the first season's biggest villain. This was a huge deal, because the Riddler was previously unknown and the Joker was regarded as Batman's arch-enemy. In addition to that, Frank Gorshin was nominated for an Emmy for his performance in the first season.
In the same year, Frank Gorshin played the Riddler in Batman: The Movie. Although the پینگوئن, پیںگان was the leader, the Riddler still had the honor of being one of the four big villains of the movie. Frank Gorshin guest-starred on a talk show, and he got to talk about being in Batman. However, he did مزید than just talk. Frank Gorshin sang a Riddler song. Frank Gorshin's scene-stealing charisma shined through in his Riddler song, which is one of the greatest villain songs of all time.
Thanks to Frank Gorshin, the Riddler went from being an obscure rogue to being one of the four most iconic villains in Batman's rogues gallery. However, Frank Gorshin made no appearances in the show's سیکنڈ season. This was because Frank Gorshin wasn't offered enough money. Because of this, the سیکنڈ season used the Puzzler as a substitute for the Riddler. Also, they had John Astin play the Riddler in one two-part adventure. Thankfully, Frank Gorshin came back in the 3rd season. He had a cameo in the third season's first episode, before being the main villain in the سیکنڈ episode.
The third season was the last season of the show, but Frank Gorshin's Batman career was far from over. In 1979, there was a TV special called Legends of the Superheroes. It had Adam West and Burt Ward return as the Dynamic Duo, in addition to featuring the first live-action appearances of Flash, Green Lantern and other superheroes. The first part of the two-part special had the Legion of Doom. This gave Frank Gorshin an opportunity to reprise his Riddler role. Legends of the Superheroes is infamous for being a low-budget production, but that doesn't change the fact that Frank Gorshin's Riddler was still amazing. As usual, Frank Gorshin چرا لیا, چوری کی the show.
That was Frank Gorshin's last time playing the Riddler, but his time with Batman wasn't over. In 2003, Frank Gorshin played an exaggerated version of himself in Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt. Return to the Batcave is a comedic tale of Adam West and Burt Ward trying to find a stolen Batmobile, while دکھانا flashbacks to their time working on the original series. Frankly, some of the humor in the movie comes across as mean-spirited, but the cast was still lovable and enjoyable, and Frank Gorshin got to be the funniest part of the movie.
Frank Gorshin had one مزید acting job that was associated with Batman. In 2004, there was a cartoon called The Batman. Frank Gorshin got to voice one of the villains in the show, but this time, it wasn't the Riddler. Instead, he voiced Professor Hugo Strange. Although Hugo Strange isn't as مقبول as some of the other Batman villains, he was the first of Batman's major foes to appear in the comics. This gave Frank Gorshin the chance to play another Batman villain. Frank Gorshin made the brilliant choice to make Hugo Strange sound much different than the Riddler. His Riddler and his Hugo Strange are very distinct from one another. Frank Gorshin managed to make Hugo Strange the most intimidating villain in the entire show, and considering the fact that Hugo Strange has no special powers, that's saying a lot. Hugo Strange was a serious threat to Batman سے طرف کی being a brilliant, obsessive manipulator. Frank Gorshin voiced Hugo Strange in three episodes. The first appearance was a cameo, but he was a major villain in the other two episodes. Sadly, Frank Gorshin passed away before the دکھائیں was finished, which led to Hugo Strange having to be recast. However, I'm incredibly thankful that Frank Gorshin got to have one last acting job with the Batman franchise.
Frank Gorshin remains a true legend. He has been incredibly influential to my writing. I've learned a lot about writing scene-stealing villains from his performances. He was a truly special actor whose wonderful legacy will always live on in the hearts of the Riddler's millions of fans.
