Mr. Freeze was an enemy of Batman.

Biography
Dr. Schivel was a criminal mastermind residing in Gotham City until he met his match in Batman. During an attempted arrest, Batman accidentally spilled some 'instant freeze' solution on Schivel, freezing his molecular structure making him a being of pure cold. Thus, the criminal 'Mr. Freeze' was born.

Weapons and Equipment

 * Freeze Collar: A special device used to keep Freeze at sub zero temperatures. Without it he is capable of dying at normal temperatures.
 * Freeze Gun: The commonly used weapon Freeze uses to freeze his opponents or turn a specific place to ice.

Behind the scenes
Mr. Freeze was potrayed by Otto Preminger in the 1960s, taking on the role after George Sanders.

He was by far the most unpopular actor in history and annoyed quite a few of the cast members which is why his role was taken over by Eli Wallach.

Alan Napier who played Alfred said this in an interview:

"I had worked before "Batman" with Awful Otto Preminger in "Forever Amber" as the English expert and dialogue director. Otto got me mad because if anyone dried up on a close-up, he would say, "Why don't you concentrate?" Then he comes on the set of "Batman" Instead of looking six foot tall, as I thought, he looks five foot tall, because it is now my territory 'and he is playing Mr. Freeze. It happens that I was on the set while he was doing a series of close ups. And in everyone of them Otto dried up and it was only because of the gentleman built into my nature that I didn't say: "Otto, why don't you concentrate?" "
