Elliot would be played by the usually heroic Charlton Heston to throw viewers off the trail.
Who doesnt trust Heston and his toothy good looks?
Hushs signature trademarks are his .45s, so Heston would feel right at home in the role.
Paul Winchell as the Ventriloquist
Boy, would the Ventriloquist be right at home on this show.
Ventriloquists goons could have been named after famous dummies.
Imagine, Howdy, Kermit, Charlie, GET HIM!
Winchells famous dummy Jerry Mahoney could have even been listed as playing Scarface.
Lee Marvin as Deadshot
Ill just let the awesome of that sink in.
The show could have played up the sharpshooter angle (as opposed to the deadly assassin angle.)
He could use paintballs or BBs to shoot out the Batmobiles tires, or blast off Batmans pointy ears.
Marvins intensity would counter the shows innate silliness.
Perhaps a team-up with Shame (not a typo!)
would be in order?
Chaneys special form of villainy could exist in the zany world of the TV show without feeling watered down.
Just check out his nuanced and tragic performance inAbbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
Barbara Eden as Poison Ivy
Excuse me while I savor this mental image.
Could there possibly be anything hotter than Barbara Eden in herI Dream of Jeannieoutfit?
How about Barbara Eden wearing nothing but vines?
Could even Adam Wests stoic sexual ambiguity resist the toxic sex appeal of Barbara Eden as Pamela Isley?
This time old Mr. Ferley would be doing the scaring as Gothams master of terror.
Come to think of it, Ive always been a little afraid of Aunt Harriet.
Mil Mascaras as Bane
Nothing says cutting edge 60s pop culture like a luchador.
As a great man once said, there is nothing classier than a luchador in a suit.
Imagine wrestling legend, the barrel chested Mil Mascaras, ruling Gothams underworld as Bane.
Of course, in thisBatman, Bane would only speak Spanish.
What appears as an ordinary soft drink would allow Bane the temporary strength to terrorize Gotham.
Who would be cuter is the Jokers moll than MissLaugh-Inherself?
And you know there would have been a musical number if this crooner donned the two toned suit.
Cant you picture Martin as Two-Face…singing a duet by himself?
