We continue our look at actors who played villains in the 1966 "Batman" TV series. This week we feature Ethel Merman, who played Lola Lasagna.



We feature an episode of Supsense, "Never Follow a Banjo Act," where Merman plays a mature singer paired up with a hot young male talent, whose previous partner died under mysterious circumstances. When she discovers a dark side to the young star, will she be the next to go?
