Batman is an American live action television series that aired on ABC from January 12, 1966, to March 14, 1968. The show, starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, was notable for its camp style, upbeat theme music, and its intentionally humorous, simplistic morality.

The series was known for its iconic comic book-inspired graphics during fight scenes, characterised by comic-book style sound effects like "POW!" and "BAM!" that were superimposed over the action.

This Black & White variant pays homage to the fact that many viewers first experienced the Batman TV series in black and white, as colour television sets were not yet common in many households during the show's original run. The monochromatic aesthetic captures the nostalgic feel of early television broadcasts.

Despite running for only three seasons, the Batman TV series had a lasting cultural impact and contributed significantly to the popularisation of the Batman character beyond comic books, influencing numerous future adaptations of the DC Comics superhero.

The Riddler was one of Batman's most intellectual adversaries in the 1960s Batman TV series. First portrayed by Frank Gorshin and later by John Astin, the character was known for his manic energy, distinctive laugh, and obsession with riddles and puzzles.

As portrayed in the series, the Riddler would always leave cryptic clues about his next crime, challenging Batman's detective skills. His costume typically featured a green outfit adorned with question marks, along with a purple mask and gloves.

The "unmasked" version of the Riddler reveals the face behind the iconic purple domino mask, offering collectors a unique version of the character. Frank Gorshin's portrayal earned him an Emmy nomination and is considered one of the most memorable villain performances of the series.

This Black & White version of the Riddler Unmasked figure captures the nostalgic essence of early television, reminiscent of how many viewers originally experienced the show before colour TV became widespread.
