“Like some of the children, I loved the villains because they were sort of the anti-heroes and you always wanted to see what they could do to put Batman and Robin in a predicament and then, of course, it was fun to see how they got out of it.” – Walter Slezak

Walter Slezak committed suicide on April 22, 1983.
