  • Batman Goes After The Joker....In A U.F.O.?

    "Mediocre"
    By Dana58, Nov 28, 2011
    This bottom of the barrel silly episode is the worse or one of the worse episodes of the series.
    While almost at the end of the series itself.More than likely the episodes later was almost as bad if not worse.
    The silliness of the series reached an all time low right here.
    I have always loved the Joker (Played by Romero) but not here!

  • One of the more bizarre "Batman" episodes you will ever see...why this wasn't the first episode aired in the series, I'll never know...it should have been, with Batgirl appearing in all the "Batman" episodes.moreless

    The Joker is even more erratic than usual, breaking a mad scientist out of prison and launching a flying saucer as part of his plot to take over the world, something that The Brain in "Pinky & The Brain" could only dream about doing...this should have introduced viewers to the "Batman" TV series the way the short introductory Killer Moth film introduced limited numbers of viewers to the Batgirl character. Even more so, Killer Moth should have been a supporting character in this episode, leading to his own role in a future storyline. Since it got relegated to the third-to-last episode aired, however, "Joker's Flying Saucer" falls just short of excellent.moreless

  • The Joker is back in Gotham again and this time he plans to create a flying saucer and take over the world!!

    This episode is not the best Joker episode I have ever seen but it does keep you interested. The plot is okay, some weak spots but as you all know this was the third to last episode of the series. Cesar\'s performance is good, he will always be the Joker sadly this episode doesnot capture his full \"power\". Overall fair episode.

    • The actor playing "Chartreuse" in this episode is not the contemporary British actor Tony Gardner, although the role is listed as one of his credits. The British Tony Gardner was three years old when this American episode was first aired. He did not become an actor until the 1990s.

    • The idea of The Batcave being destroyed was later adapted in 1995's Batman Forever.

    • Stock footage from the classic 1953 20th Century-Fox scifi film Invaders From Mars was used to show The Joker's Flying Saucer in flight.

    • Richard Bakalyan (seen here as Verdigris) previously played Arbutus in Episode #1710, "Louie the Lilac," Sphinx in the Season-2 episodes #9755, "King Tut's Coup/Batman's Waterloo," and C.B. in the first-season episodes #8731, "Death in Slow Motion/The Riddler's False Notion."

    • This is the final appearance of both the late Cesar Romero as The Joker and Byron Keith as Mayor Lindseed.

    • The footage of The Dynamic Duo driving The Batcycle to the heliport where they switch to The Batcopter is edited from the 1966 Batman movie.

    • Although The Joker had a run-in with Alfred Pennyworth at the end of Season-2 Episode #9723-Pt. 2, "The Joker's Provokers," he failed to recognize him in this episode.

    • The late Ellen Corby (Mrs. Green) was well known for her portrayal of Grandma Esther Walton on The Waltons (CBS, 1972-81).
