Almost has that weird Batman vibe to it. The 1960\'s TV show that is. Decidedly different.

I love this episode. It's one of the best ever. It has everything. A disabled super-villain with a weird attitude (I was tired of walking anyway - wtf?) and an even weirder plan. Meanwhile some sort of Jupiter Effect or planetary conjunction is taking place. I love it when Mole basically does in Sausalito or Redwood City or w/e. . . The end doesn't make a lot of sense and the very end is a bit lame, but it's worth it. This felt like a comic book and the very first Fantastic Four had a Mr. Mole with a tunneling machine as the bad guy . . . perhaps some inspiration was gained there.

I love the 'Mr. Mole' character. Like many villains portrayed by Ralph Bell, I can't help but feel sorry for him, even though he is dangerous. He is a three dimensional character.
