His popularity with fans soon translated to the television screen during the 1966 Batman TV show which featured actor Frank Gorshin as the memorable live-action version of the sinister genius villain. It wasn’t until 1995 when the Riddler starred on the silver screen as Jim Carrey in the movie Batman Forever. The character still remained popular in the comic book and animated versions of Batman.
