Holy Cast List, Batman!

It all began when I came upon Frank Gorshin's name. You may remember him. He portrayed Stash in "Welcome to Our Branch Office" (Season 7). Well, it seems he also portrayed The Riddler in the Batman television series (1966-1968). So, I decided to see if any other actors from Batman had appeared on Hawaii Five-0. Oh, yes! I made it only a fourth or a fifth of the way down the list of Batman television actors before I ran out of steam. I didn't even get to the Batman movie actors, except for Pat Hingle, whom we never will forget. Even so, I created quite a list of my own. Take a look:
