Louie the Lilac

Louie The Lilac was a villain and enemy of Batman created specifically for the Batman 1960s Tv Series. He dealt in illegal perfume and was fond of man eating Lilacs. Louie The Lilac was identified by his violet colored suit. He was known to use different lilacs, sometimes mutant breeds, to use against his enemies, such as a flower on his jacket that hypnotized people so he could manipulate them, or his special man-eating lilacs.

Louie tried to corner the flower market and take control of a group of young Gothamites who called themselves the Flower Children. While most people held the "Flower Children" in little regard, Louie recognized that they would eventually grow up to be the leaders of tomorrow. So he figured that if he could get in favour with them, he would one day be very powerful and influential. To do this, he cornered the flower market in Gotham City so that he could help them with their flower-in.

He later tried to corner Gotham's fragrance market by forcing Bruce Wayne to cut the scent pouches out of kidnapped zoo animals, but this attempt was equally poorly thought out.

Weapons and Equipment

 * Two-way Hat Lilac- a radio in disguise.
 * Alba bulgaria- poisonous plants whose fragrance knocks out anyone nearby.
