By the end of the story, it was revealed that his ultimate objective was to steal a heavily guarded stockpile of valuable books.īookworm didn't make the jump from television to comic books for a couple of decades. He also carried knockout gas in trick books, usually the boring type that "put people to sleep," like the Congressional Record. Like the Riddler, he left clues to lure the caped crusaders to the scene of his next crime - the clues, of course, always inspired by books. The Bookworm appeared in two consecutive episodes of the 1960s television show, "The Bookworm Turns" and "While Gotham Burns." Little was disclosed of Bookworms origins or motivations over the course of the show, other than the fact that he had an apparent vendetta against Batman and Robin and committed crimes inspired by literary plots.
