50 years ago today...
"Batman is Riled," the sixth episode of the Batman TV series, premiered on January 27th, 1966. In this episode, The Joker defeats Batman several times using his own version of Batman's utility belt. This emboldens the rest of the criminals in Gotham, sparking the largest crime wave in Gotham City history, and causing the public to lose faith in the Dynamic Duo. However, Batman and Robin turn the tables on The Joker and use his new utility belt against him, apprehending the criminal clown and restoring order to Gotham City in the process.
