List of Batman television series characters

The following is an overview of the characters who appeared in the 1966–1968 live-action Batman television series.

Meriwether was cast for the film role when producers learned that Newmar would not be available for filming after the production of the first season wrapped.

Egghead, among others created for the series, was adapted for a 2009 episode of the animated television series Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Since Cesar Romero refused to shave his trademark mustache, his white pancake makeup was applied over it. However it was still visible in many screen close ups.

Within the episodes, Professor William McElroy is an Egyptologist at Yale University. He suffers a blow to the head during a student riot that results in amnesia. His subconscious creates a new personality as the reincarnation of King Tut. Each time he is struck on the head, his personalities reverse.

King Tut, among others created for the series, was adapted for a 2009 episode of the animated television series Batman: The Brave and the Bold voiced by John DiMaggio. Due to FOX holding the rights to the King Tut name, the character was renamed "Pharaoh".

Later that year, the character was adapted to the comics.

This version was based on the Imposter Mad Hatter.

In Batman '66, it is revealed that Clock King is Mad Hatter's brother Morris Tetch.

Leading into the production of the second season, Gorshin held out for higher wages. This resulted in the writers putting off Riddler-themed episodes in case the issue was resolved. Late in the production, they reworked one script to use the Puzzler and finally produced a Riddler story for which John Astin was cast. The issue was resolved before the third season with Gorshin returning to the role.

Shame, among other characters created for the series, was adapted for a 2009 episode of the animated television series Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
