The legendary half-hour live-action show of Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, ran for 120 episodes from 1966-68. Who were the supervillians who were cast as the leads for the particular episodes. I've listed below the number of times that a particular supervillain had nefarious designs on Gotham City, so just guess away as to where they all fit in. Offsiders and sidekicks aren't here, just the main bad guys and bad girls.

Mr 66 blew this one out of the water.

Henchman not correct, but all the others are, and you've picked off most of the big ones. However, the puzzler did do the single episode as a supervillain, so he's a good get.

Was there a Poison Ivy?

Poison Ivy assisted a male supervillain.

Batman and Robin had very few female lead supervillains to contend with. Most were male, with female offsiders. I haven't counted Poison Ivy, because the cast credits listed her below the male villain who led the particular episode I reckon you're thinking of.

Zelda
The Mad Hatter
Ma Parker
Clock King

Can picture that character, but have no name for the dastardly villain.

But I do recall The Archer and False Face.

Both correct with one episode each

i use to watch it religiously after school
i remember some of the actors more than their characters

e.g milton berle, roddy mac dowell, joan collins. ethel merman, john astin and even our own michael pate from divison 4 days played a goon in a couple of episodes

You either have a scary mind, or have done some serious research.A few of them were listed as sidekicks but Phogg, Clavicle, Shame, Sandman, Dr Cassandra, Chandell, the Bookworm, the Minstrel (Liberace!!!! ), the Siren, Marsha Queen of Diamonds, Colonel Gumm, Mrs Max Black (the black widow) and Louie the Lilac all correct.

Under my reckoning of how I judged them, only one to go (a female).

Whooops!
Forgot Olga Queen of the Cossacks.
BTW, Van Johnson played the Minstrel not Liberace.
He played Chandell as well as Chandell's Twin, Harry the common thug.
Hilarious! Don't miss it if you get the chance.

Olga seals the deal. My apologies too on Liberace, he was Chandell. Was having a brain fade there.

I think olga was in more than 2 episodes as well roge

Olga & Marsh Queen of Diamonds were both played by Anne Baxter so you might
be getting those two confused.

66 is right again.Anne Baxter did play both villains, and Adam West spent a bit time in his book talking about how hot she was.

Judging by the book too, he and boy wonder had a fair few years enjoying the fruits of the young Hollywood ladies.
