L- Why don't we learn some interesting facts from one of the one-time villains?

S- Ooh! This is getting good. Which one-time villain are we gonna talk with first?

D- I got that handled already. He's one of my favorite one-time Batvillains. He's mostly known as a piano virtuoso all around the world.

S- And he used his last name as a stage name. He's Liberace!

Lb- Hello, kids. Hello, everyone.

L- G'day, Mr Liberace. Tell us about your villainous character. Actually, you played two characters.

Lb- That's right, Levi. I did. The main villain was the great Chandell. He was named after my famous chandeliers. The character is famous as a piano virtuoso, but he's really being blackmailed into a life of crime by his twin brother Harry, whom I also play.

S- And what do the brothers try to do?

Lb- The main thing they want is to steal Bruce Wayne's riches. Their plot is to kill Bruce and Dick Grayson and have Chandell marry Aunt Harriet, because she's the heir to Bruce's riches.

D- Oh boy! Does it work? I mean, does it seem to work before Batman and Robin come to the rescue?

Lb- Well, at first, they're on vacation, but then Bruce Wayne hears one of my concerts on the radio. And it definitely seems to work when he and Dick fake their own deaths and Aunt Harriet does fall in love with me.

S- Gawrsh. Odds really were against the Dynamic Duo.

L- Thanks, Mr Liberace. 

D- Stay tuned, everyone!
