Everyone knows Frank Gorshin was the only true Riddler. Just like Julie Newmar was the true Catwoman, even if Lee Meriwether played her in the movie. And Eartha Kitt played her in the 3rd season though because she was black they laid off the romantic aspect of her relationship with Batman.

True classic TV!
A true power play would have been to have Batman portrayed by a Black Actor. So, Eartha Kitt and Sidney Poitier could have played Catwoman and Batman.
