William Dozier's adaptation of The Green Hornet was just starting on ABC when producer Hal Seeger (Milton The Monster) signed a syndication deal with Screen Gems to put Batfink on the air. Also a Batman spoof for obvious reasons, the hero (Frank Buxton, Discovery) faced his share of odd villains.
In the opener, Batfink and his aide, Karate (Len Maxwell, also the narrator) are to guard the "Pink Pearl of Persia":
Heywood "Woody" Kling would move to Hanna-Barbera a few years later. Batfink, on the other hand, hasn't been seen since a run on Boomerang several years back.
Rating: B.
