George Sanders as Mr. Freeze was, undoubtedly, the most urbane, sophisticated, and high-class villain that Batman and Robin have ever faced. Sure he was evil. But that goes with the territory.

Because they wanted those Batman movies to be more kid-friendly, so they toned down all the dark elements in the sequels; this one especially. The Macgregor's disease subplot was only there for the adults. Then they realized they screwed up and had to make Barbara/Batgirl Aldred's niece instead of Jim Gordon's daughter.

We need to more of Mr. Freeze in future Batman movies. Some people have forgotten about this villain.

George Sanders’ acting talent and voice is nothing to sniff at, ranging from the eeriely calm and sinister voice he used for Sher Khan in Disney’s first adaptation of The Jungle Book (the 1967 cartoon, btw), to the sophisticated yet icy (no pun intended) German accent used for his version of Mr. Freeze for the 60s Batman show, as shown in this video (on a side note, of the three actors who played the character on the show, Sanders’ version of mr. freeze was the only one to wear something other than the cold-sustained suit, wearing a suit and tie while in his hideout. Not sure if it was Sanders’ request or an idea from one of the show’s writers, but either way it was perfect for Sanders’ version of the character). Truly one of the greats in the world of acting.

3:29 I believe this Mr Freeze is the only villain from Batman '66 to have murdered someone in, ironically enough, cold blood.

Probably the only villain who actually killed someone in the Batman show.

This Mr. Freeze was sure better than the season 2 version...

This actor is more serious then the other guys who played this role, but this is because the first season was more serious. And the 3rd guy, should should have played the role in season 3, just saying.

WOW! Thanks so much for this great comp SSS. I can't believe the man who played Addison DeWitt is the same actor here portraying Mr. Freeze! Just amazing! I just read his terrifically entertaining memoir which sadly doesn't include any recollections of his work on Batman as the book was completed before he guest starred on the show. If you love the work of George Sanders as I do, my brief "review" of his book might entice you to read it. You will not be disappointed with your purchase. "Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing." - George Sanders I have just finished one of the most delightful and surprising memoirs I have ever read and well, I'll get to the point. If you love movies and you are particularly fond of say, pictures between the 1930's through the 1960's, you won't find a more gloriously humorous, truthful and sardonic portrait of Hollywood as well as the London stage and New York theatre scene than George Sander's brilliant autobiography, "Memoirs Of A Professional Cad." No really, that's the title! I fell in love with George Sanders when I first saw the 1950 film "All About Eve." If you love the character of Addison Dewitt as much as I do, you are in for such a treat! You can't help but hear Sander's (DeWitt's) hilariously contemptuous voice in your head while reading this remarkably witty, perspicacious chronicle of a man who was more different from the characters he played than just about any other actor you can imagine excluding perhaps Bogart and Karloff. From fleeing Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution to actual sword fight duels in South America to becoming one of the most preeminent Academy Award winning stars of his era, this memoir reads like an adventure story written by a wise old philosopher rather than some entitled pompous over bloated actor. It's always a stinker to come to the end of book that has made you laugh out loud at least once a page. There are countless moments of such depth, clarity and insight into what makes humans tick in this memoir and Sanders is never afraid to point those candid and at times uncomfortable accusations at himself. I can't recommend it enough. All the best!

Of course Mr. Freeze is stealing some "ice". 😂😂😂

I wish Mr Freeze was in season 3 and could have gotten him instead of that collection of stand arch villains. But probably the cost would have been pretty steep. But still a possible idea for the episode's plot could involve Mr Freeze smuggling in tech from Gotham Airport to keep him cool with his collar and back tanks, But Batman, Robin and Batgirl could have found out that he was trying to make the city and everyone in it exactly like him.

George Sanders was by FAR the best Mr. Freeze of the TV series. Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach were both good actors, but neither could measure up to Sanders in this role. I believe there were six episodes of the series involving the character Mr. Freeze, with Sanders in the role for the first two, Preminger in the middle two, and Wallach in the last pair.

@roberthaworth8991

3 ай бұрын

Preminger paid heavily for his involvement with the show. His over the top performance brought him to the attention of the actors union, of which he had long been a member. Discovering that he hadn’t paid his dues in years, they docked him the full amount - with interest - which amounted to over $63,000 in today’s money. On net he earned nothing for playing Mr Freeze, and in fact was $20k+ in the hole.

Sad RIP MR SANDERS YOURE THE BEST MR FREEZE .

I always liked Frieze the best when I think about how COOL-HEADED he can be with his henchmen. But it’s consistent with all of the franchise. Even in the games. Even in the show: Gotham. I can respect the desperation he always ends up in, because it’s usually for Nora, his wife. I think the most malicious version was Arnold’s performance in Batman & Robin (1997). And even ol’ Arny’s role had its charms.

fun fact, I believe this show gave him the name Mr Freeze, originally he was known as Mr Zero.
