False-Face was a more substitute version of Two-Face, who Bat-creator Bob Kane patterned after the 1926 horror film The Phantom Of The Opera starring Lon Chaney. Two-Face's name was Harvey Kent, but changed to Dent. Two-Face wouldn't be back until the early 1970s because of a 1954 book written by Dr. Fredric Wertham called "Seduction of the Innocent", Wertham also thought that Batman & Robin were homosexuals (because of his own homophobia he decided to take it out on The Caped Crusaders) but there was no proof,that's why from 1955 to today reader would see a comics code in every issue. (edit) Billy Curtis, one of the most famous "little people" in Hollywood, is best known as The Mayor Of Munchkinland in the MGM 1939 classic movie The Wizard Of Oz.
(edit) Although Finger's original creation hasn't reappeared in recent times, the animated Batman Beyond series revived the idea of a villain named Falseface for an episode called Plague.
Malachi Throne did not voice the character but another character, Fingers, in 11 episodes later called Speak No Evil.
(edit) Malachi Throne's real face is briefly seen when he is "disguised" as the armored car guard, although he's wearing a presumably fake mustache.
(edit) The late Bill Finger created False Face in Batman #113 (February 1958); this episode was based on a June 1958 comic book story featuring The Protean Plunderer. (edit) Gary Owens later became the comical ear-cupped announcer for Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In which ran on NBC from 1968-73.
He would later provide the 1950's Batman voice on the October 10, 1998 episode Legends of the Dark Knight in the Batman Gotham Knights animated cartoon. (edit) Gary Owens was a Los Angeles disc jockey at the time of his appearance on this episode. He later would become the announcer for Laugh In. (edit)

FalseFace: The Express will be through here inside of five minutes, Batman. Inside of six, no more Batman!
Robin: Fiend!
Batman: FalseFace, you'll regret this! Eventually. (edit)

Stafford Repp, despite the fact that Chief O'Hara is supposed to be unconscious, is rather noticeably walking himself into the Trick-Truck. (edit) Rather foolishly, Falseface straps Batman and Robin to two separate sets of parallel tracks. The passing subway car would kill one of them, but not both. (edit)
