    Wild funny clever episode with the "Joker"

    As far as I know this is the first episode involving "The Joker" in the "Batman" TV series from season 1 episode 5 called "The Joker is Wild" the first of a two part episode. It's clever funny and you see the clown prince break away from prison to go rob the Gotham Comedy hall of fame. And along the way the unique and clever trick happens when the clown forms his own utility belt to battle "Batman and Robin". And it was nice to see the camp yet funny work from Cesar Romero as his "Joker" was funny with laughs and wit and some of the action moments from this episode were cool too.
