So going back on my "What if Robin and the Riddler had to team up because Batman was incapacitated?" bullshit again. But since the original image that inspired it was the one of Riddler and Molly (in disguise as Robin) wearing helmets in the car, I am now envisioning this:
Riddler: *Giddily climbing into the driver's side of the vehicle*
Robin: "...Are you sure you should be the one driving?"
Riddler: "Of course. You don't have a license, do you, Boy Wonder?"
Robin: "I have a learner's permit."
Riddler: *triumphantly raising a finger.*
Riddler: "Ah, but you do not have a licensed driver in the car, and unlike you, I have no qualms about breaking the law!"
Sarah Grayson / Girl Wonder was made when I was really young.
The 1960s Bat Girl drove me crazy because of how useless she was and was just there to look pretty.
I wanted a super hero who would just “fit” in and so I made Sarah.
After her introduction, I really try hard to not make her the main character.
She is Dick Grayson’s twin sister and I’ve written her into the 66 Batman, Super Friends and TABS. Recently I worked her into the Batman and Robin movie because that bat girl only wears her cowl once! Talk about art references 😂
I’m so glad that people like her. She’s my oldest OC and very dear to me! 🥰
See this one is hard... in the 1966 Universe I prefer the original Mr. Freeze (from s1). I just loved how his character came right out of the 1950s. After that first iteration though, the other two Mr. Freeze('s?) weren't my fave.
So Mad Hatter for the 1966 Batman wins for me!
He's hilarious and over the top. He doesn't beat my love for King Tut though. XD that man is just an inspiration!!
In the other universes, I prefer Mr. Freeze like from Batman and Robin (the movie) and from TABS. XD
First part of my research essay involves watching the 1966 live action movie and the 2022 movie back to back. So cool to see how Batman and his movies have changed over time. It also low key gave me whiplash and I had to adjust the brightness of my laptop.

A bit of clarification for those who read this far before voting! By one-shot villains, I mean anyone who isn't Riddler, Penguin, Catwoman, or Joker. Because while they are great villains and I love them, they also had their own competitions already and so I wanted to give the option to include them or to just focus on the non-big four.
So because there were three separate actors who portrayed Mr. Freeze in the 1966 Batman series, I had originally intended just to feature one of them in the main bracket, but I wasn't sure which one. Of course, I have my biases, but I thought I might leave it to you all to decide which Freeze you wanted:
Originally referred to as "Mr. Zero" in the comics, the 1966 Batman series is actually where he was renamed Mr. Freeze, though here, his real name was given as Dr. Schivel. Though Batman: The Animated Series would give us the backstory we know and love today, the 1960s show did attempt to introduce a somewhat sympathetic backstory for the character. Here, he was embittered by an accident which resulted in his being unable to survive outside of subzero temperatures, and desired revenge, with Batman feeling responsible for his condition.
I was unable to find information as to why George Sanders was unable to return as Mr. Freeze after the first season, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was probably scheduling conflicts, since he wouldn't be the only one that happened to. Otto Preminger portrayed the frozen felon in his first season 2 appearance, but due to difficulties in working with him, his final season 2 appearance saw Eli Wallach cast in the role.
I need a compilation video of '66 Robin just. Yeeting himself out of the Batmobile because this child does not believe in car doors and it's hysterical
