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.

Visual Style: 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.

Villain Gallery: The series featured many colourful and eccentric villains from Batman's rogues gallery, including the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Catwoman, who would devise elaborate schemes to take over Gotham City, only to be foiled by the Dynamic Duo.

Cultural Impact: 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 Clock King was portrayed by Walter Slezak in the 1960s Batman TV series. As one of Batman's more eccentric adversaries, the Clock King was obsessed with timepieces and punctuality.

Character Identity: In the series, the character's real name was given as Morris Tetch (though in the comics, the Clock King is typically named William Tockman, whilst Morris Tetch is actually the Mad Hatter's civilian identity). The Clock King's costume featured a clock face as a mask and timepiece-inspired elements throughout his attire.

Criminal Methods: The Clock King's criminal schemes were, unsurprisingly, time-centred. He utilised various clock-themed gadgets and weapons, including special pocket watches and clock-based death traps. His meticulous planning and precise timing made him a formidable opponent for the Dynamic Duo.

Theatrical Style: Like many villains in the series, the Clock King was known for his flamboyant personality and theatrical flair, embodying the show's campy approach to the Batman mythos. Though not as frequently featured as villains like the Joker or Penguin, the Clock King remains a memorable part of the show's colourful rogues gallery.
