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, characterized by comic-book style sound effects like "POW!" and "BAM!" that were superimposed over the action.

Original Villains: The show featured a rotating gallery of colorful villains, many of whom were created specifically for the television series rather than being drawn from the comics. King Tut was one of these original creations, appearing in several episodes as a recurring antagonist for 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 popularization of the Batman character beyond comic books, influencing numerous future adaptations of the DC Comics superhero.

King Tut was one of the most memorable villains created specifically for the 1966 Batman TV series. Portrayed by Victor Buono, the character was William Omaha McElroy, a respected Yale professor of Egyptology who, after being struck on the head during a riot, developed the belief that he was the reincarnation of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Character Psychology: In his delusional state, King Tut viewed Gotham City as ancient Thebes and considered Batman and Robin to be rebel insurgents opposing his rightful rule. The character was known for his flamboyant Egyptian-inspired costumes, boisterous personality, and tendency to speak in pseudo-Egyptian proclamations.

Unique Condition: What made King Tut unique among Batman's rogues gallery was that he would revert to his normal, law-abiding professor persona whenever he received another blow to the head, only to return to his villainous alter ego when struck again later. This created a sense of tragedy around the character, as he was not inherently evil but rather suffering from a psychological condition.

Popular Villain: Victor Buono's larger-than-life performance made King Tut one of the most popular and frequently returning villains in the series, appearing in eight episodes across all three seasons. His inclusion in this action figure line celebrates one of the most iconic original creations from the classic Batman TV show.
