Lucky Pierre was a successful criminal defense attorney, famous for never having lost a case. He kept a lucky wishbone in the band of his hat and a lucky rabbit's foot around a chain on his waistcoat.
Biography[]
When Catwoman was arrested, she demanded her phone call, with which she called her attorney, Lucky Pierre. At Catwoman and Joker’s trial, Pierre refuses to cross-examine any of the 14 witnesses Batman brings on. He also does not attempt to convince the jury of Catwoman and Joker’s innocence. However Pierre had previously replaced the jury with former members of Catwoman’s gang.
Because of this the jury’s verdict is not guilty, to the astonishment of the judge. But when the Jury Foreman’s fake moustache falls off, he is revealed by Batman to be Marvin the Moose, one of Catwoman’s former henchmen, and Juror Number 2 is revealed to be Dave the Dummy, another felon of Catwoman’s.
After the ensuing fight all the villains are captured and Pierre, having just lost his first case, breaks his lucky wishbone, throws away his lucky rabbit's foot and storms out. Later, Robin and Batman comment to Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara that Pierre could have had a successful career in politics, had he not turned to crime.[1]

Behind the Scenes[]
- Lucky Pierre was portrayed by Pierre Salinger, who in real-life served as White House Press Secretary during the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson from 1961 to 1964.
- In the Batman episode "The Joke's on Catwoman", Lucky Pierre keeps a photograph of former Vice President Richard Nixon on his desk. This was an allusion to the then-upcoming 1968 United States presidential election and an in-joke, since Pierre Salinger was actually a Democratic politician in real-life.
