Default 23 & 24: The Ring of Wax/Give 'em the Axe

Ringwax.jpgrm.jpg

The Riddler smuggles into Gotham some Universal Wax Solvent, that can eat its way through any substance, and from then were are bombarded with puns and gadgets that have some connection with wax or glue...my word this is a pretty poor story by any ones standards, and to be honest makes no real sense at all...For some reason they seem to have run out of ideas, as for what they can do with The Riddler character, so its really up to Frank Gorshin to up his manic levels just to inject some life into this plot, which he does very well indeed. What also helps to distract the viewer from the dreary events is the wonderful Riddler sidekick Moth played by the lovely looking Linda Gaye Scott , whose costume bears a striking resemblance to what Bat Girl will where in the third series, suitably tight fitting of course. Again the parole board drop a major clanger,releasing the Riddler two soon mehinks, he has only been out of prison two weeks according to Commissioner Gordon and he is already up to his old tricks...Still we as always get some rather great looking sets, like Riddler's wax factory and a library that for some reason has a massive vault for its rare books and not forgetting Madame Soleil's Wax Museum.. Batman with a straight face asks the librarian whether she has seen anyone wearing unusual garb??? I think most of Gotham City is wearing unusual clothing...
