BookWorm- - Roddy Mcdowall
Like the Riddler, Bookworm is one more interchangeable antagonist who frequently and intentionally leaves clues and hopes to rub out that Batnuisance. Instead of originating more devices and manic villains, of which there were many in the generally untapped comic books, Batman writers fell into an ultimately lethal Batformula and redundancy eroded the series' success.

Roddy McDowall gives the Bookworm a wonderful, edgy quality. The villain had volumes of potential, and was even supplied with a smidgen of origin/motivation: he could only copy, not write/create anything original, not unlike the series' scripters. Unfortunately the character never returned.
