Although he would continue to make meaningful appearances in respected projects including 1995’s 12 Monkeys before his death in May 2005 at 72, the Riddler would remain his best-known role.
Garman says Gorshin hoped his Emmy nomination for his Riddler turn would enable him to move beyond doing impressions on The Ed Sullivan Show and bit parts on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. “It was Frank’s embodiment that really brought that character to the forefront, who made him a main player in the Batman mythos.” “The Riddler had made a couple appearances in the comics and had been largely retired by the time the mid-’60s came around,” he explains. Ralph Garman, co-writer of the Batman ’66 Meets the Green Hornet comic book series, credits Gorshin as a key reason why the Riddler is now seen as a prominent villain in the franchise.
