I have been watching Batman for sometime now and I have really gotten into the show, and I have a question about the villians on the show.

Which villian had the most appearances on the show? If someone knows I would greatly appreciate it!

I believe The Penguin (Burgess Meredith) made the most guest appearences on Batman, he appeared in 20 episodes. The Joker (Cesar Romero) came in 2nd, he appreared in 19 episodes. Catwoman (Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt) comes in 3rd, she appeared in 16 episodes, and The Riddler (Frank Gorshin, John Astin) comes in 4th, he appeared in 12 episodes.

BTW, Welcome To The Batman Board! :wave:

Penguin
Joker
Riddler

Liberace played Chandel/Harry not The Liberace & you forgot these:

Cabala-Howard Duff
Lola Lasagne-Ethel Merman
Colonel Gumm-Roger C. Carmel, The true villain from A Piece Of The Action/Batman's Satisfaction.

Burgess Meredith wasn't the first actor considered for The Penguin. Spencer Tracy was offered the part first and agreed to take it only if he were allowed to kill Batman.
