I’ll never forget in Kindergarten we had a Easter Bonet Contest. I wanted to make a Mad Hatter Top Hat. The teacher spent hours helping me create it out of cardboard and construction paper. It had the lid up with the yellow eyes showing and laser beams shooting out. I was so proud walking past the judges with it on. And guess what? I WON!!!!

I never realized when I was a kid just how much effort these character actors put into this very silly show. A lot of them could have phoned it in, but almost none of them did. Gorshin, Buono, Wayne, Price, Kitt, McDowall etc.

I think The Mad Hatter and The Penguin were the best dressed criminals, in Tuxedos and a top hat!

In the cartoon, the Mad Hatter was a sympathetic wimpy little man in love with a girl he couldnt have. In the campy series, he was a vengful maniacle villan.

Riddler was always my favorite Batman villian, but I wanted to be one of Mad Hatter's henchmen. They were impeccably dressed and hatted

Love that character, he was so dramatic in his delivery.

David Wayne was a great actor. As a little boy in the 60's his Mad Hatter character scared me.

What was cool about Batman was these cameos. Quality actors contributed for the kids .

That machine and his paralyzing hat the Mad Hatter has frightened the hell out of me when I saw this episode as a kid. I was terrified every time I saw the Mad Hatter. Even to this day, when I first saw this video, this Hatter dude freaks me out! LOL

I miss this era of TV. And granted we had only 3 perhaps 4 channels I loved it. We laughed and had actual conversations. 🤔 Any who... The show's Today are well ... Never mind. 😆

they don’t call him the Mad Hatter for nothing because he’s mad about hats

When 1966's Mad Hatter is scarier than any Joker since Heath Ledger.

Mad Hatter was the scariest villain.

Fun story: When I was in college, I planned to make a Batman Fan Film starring the Mad Hatter (I had seen a lot of Batman Fan Films around that time and none of them involved the Mad Hatter so I wanted him to star, even though he wouldn't be the main villain), I asked my Graphic Design professor (A HUGE Batman fan) if he'd like to play the villain, he enthusiastically said yes, but he thought that he would be playing this version of the character, I showed him the Arkham version and he was genuinely terrified, but still willing to play the character, even got his own costume. I sadly never got to make the film as I couldn't get the equipment and I couldn't get anyone to play Batman (Kinda important in a Batman film)

One of my favorite villains!

I didn't see much of the Mad Hatter when I used to watch this Batman show when I was a kid

"It's diabolical!" Season 1 was the best! Thank you for sharing this video!

David Wayne was a great as the Mad Hatter. The top part of this hat has those eyes that pop out to paralyzed people to sleep. Roddy McDowall did the voice of the Mad Hatter in Batman the Animated series, before he died in September of 1998.

❤ Jean hale ;; gorgeous looking woman didn't know she passed away this year so very sad; had a big crush on her

Just made a custom lego figure of this 66’ mad hatter it came out so good

It’s really crazy how some characters were portrayed way different, also wished they would’ve used other characters like Killer Croc, Zsasz, Hugo Strange, Killer Moth, and others but of course it had its limits

What a pity David Wayne's Mad Hatter never got to cross paths with Yvonne Craig's Batgirl. We missed out on seeing them engaged in hat to heel combat (Yvonne Craig's Batgirl was a kicker, not a puncher. Probably due to YC's ballerina background.)

In the scene with Batman and Robin his hair, mustache, and beard are all different colors, lol. I forgot his eyebrows are also a different color.

I didn’t even know the mad hatter even existed in the 60s

Because I like watching this batman 1966 and Avery batman cartoons and movies

1966 : Jervis Tetch is a criminal who is obsessed with stealing Hats as the Mad Hatter, and can stun or hypnotise people with his weaponized headpiece. 1996 : Jervis Tetch is a criminal obessed with Alice and Wonderland and wants to get a perfect "Alice" with his mind control and hypnosis technology.

Mad Hatter was a little light on his toes

Be sure to turn the volume up for the layzars.

Mad Hatter putting Robin on the Plaster Horse was so erotic.

No doubt one of the creepiest villains on Batman. Never heard of him before that though.

Super sam steven I I joined watching batman 1966

This version Mad Hatter seems more obessesed for hats, instead of the story of alice in the wonder land.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO IT A THUMB UP ON YOUR VIDEO FROM RASHEED NATHA ONLYS

A world where women aren't repulsed by the Mad Hatter? What sorcery is this?

Such a jealous and self absorbed man. l guess Hatters gonna hat.

That’s imposter mad hatter

The female actress's voice resembled to wilma from the flintstones.

I used to love watched this version of Batman when I was a kid it made me to love Batman more now I'm older some times I think it's boring
