Batman (1966)
Original 20th Century Fox b&w publicity still #110/37 from Batman (1966).
This brings together four of the most iconic villains of the camp-era Gotham: The Joker, Catwoman, The Riddler, and The Penguin. The 1966 film and its companion TV series defined a generation’s image of Batman, blending comic-book spectacle with pop-art humour and an unmistakable, brightly stylised aesthetic. Its rogue’s gallery, played with theatrical flair by Cesar Romero, Lee Meriwether, Frank Gorshin, and Burgess Meredith, became cultural landmarks, shaping how these characters were depicted for decades.
The still captures all four villains assembled inside their shared lair, each expressing their distinct personality: Romero’s Joker peering mischievously from behind a ladder, Meriwether’s sleek and poised Catwoman in her glittering catsuit, Gorshin’s sharp and intense Riddler, and Meredith’s Penguin grinning beneath his signature top hat and monocle. The industrial set behind them, filled with pipes and equipment, enhances the exaggerated comic book world of the film. It’s a dynamic ensemble moment that perfectly encapsulates the playful villainy and visual style that made Batman (1966) a cult classic.
