- Quotes
Britt Reid: We have a mutual friend, Batman - millionaire Bruce Wayne. In fact, I'm having lunch with him today.
Batman: Oh? Give him my regards.
Commissioner Gordon: We were just discussing a criminal, Mr. Reid, with whom you are no doubt familiar - The Green Hornet - from your own bailiwick.
Chief O'Hara: Just between us boys, Mr. Reid, we have to suspect he'll be pullin' some shenanigans in our own bailiwick.
Britt Reid: The Green Hornet? In Gotham City? Well, that shouldn't disturb you, Batman. Your name is legend among crime-fighters.
Batman: Legends are sometimes highly overrated, Mr. Reid.
Chief O'Hara: 'Twill be the Green Hornet who's overrated, Batman, if he tries to tangle with you and Robin.
Batman: For which we must prepare ourselves.

The villain guest star here is Roger C. Carmel, who reminds me of Victor Buono (KING TUT), as he is so over the top and obviously having fun with his role. Victor Buono said in later years that playing King Tut on BATMAN was a blast because he could over act, yet make it all seem believable. Carmel plays Colonel Gumm, much in the same style, an eccentric stamp counterfeiter who dines on alphabet soup in his spare time! No doubt Carmel's unforgettable role as con-man Harry Mudd on STAR TREK lead to this characterization, stealing the show as the boisterous baddie. Alex Rocco, in an early role (of course forever remembered as gangster Moe Green in THE GODFATHER), plays a goon as does veteran actor Seymour Cassel, who has an interesting name called "Cancelled"! The question remains as to why THE GREEN HORNET did not last as long as BATMAN, and it just could be that the latter series was such a phenom the producers stuck with it and didn't look back. However, watching Williams as the Hornet and Lee as Kato is always a treat, especially for all of us long time cult fans. Watch for the hilarious finale as the Dynamic duo are literally glued to an enormous stamp pad by the Colonel --about to be pasted on a wall! Now that's original! SEASON 2 EPISODE 51 dvd box set in pink colorization!
