Liberace got to be on Batman, and I actually really liked it. He gave a pretty good performance, even if he was a little bad when he seemed to try and do an accent at one point. To be honest: I understand why he never successfully transitioned into film. He's not as good an actor as some other singers, but he still does a good job with what he's given. Also, I loved his many costumes. Chandel's many extravagant tuxedos are amazing. The fact that Liberace also played twin brothers via green screen effects and stuff was great too.
But the best parts are definitely the deathtrap at the end of part one, and the strange emphasis on Liberace being a romantic idol for women everywhere. Women fawn over him, and he also seduces Aunt Harriet. Even Batman admitted he was attractive! And the deathtrap with Batman and Robin almost being sent through a piano wire machine was really melodramatic and intense. I loved it.
Oh, and finally: Aunt Harriet got to threaten the villian with a gun! She actually figured out the villians plans, and got just as much action as Batman and Robin. Madge Blake was a wonderful actress, and she actually really plays well off of Liberace in their scenes together. So I enjoyed the Chandel episode immensely. Kind of wish the show revisited him. Liberace and Madge Blake really had a shockingly good amount of chemistry. Shame we never see it again...
