The Archer appears in two consecutive episodes of the 1960s Batman television series.

Archer is a modern-day Robin Hood who robs from the rich and gives to the poor.

Just as Batman and Robin do not go at crime-fighting alone, Archer needs fellow partners in crime to assist him with his malicious schemes:

Maid Marilyn (portrayed by Barbara Nichols) - Archer's female assistant. Her name is a spoof of Maid Marian. She is usually seen cooking, eating, or having just eaten a fried chicken leg.
Big John (portrayed by Loren Ewing) - Archer's henchman. His name is a spoof of Little John.
Crier Tuck (portrayed by Doodles Weaver) - Archer's henchman. His name is a spoof of Friar Tuck.
Allan A. Dale (portrayed by Robert Cornthwaite) - Archer's henchman. His name is a spoof of Alan-a-Dale
First Poor Person (portrayed by Robert Adler) - Archer's henchman.
Second Poor Person (portrayed by Heidi Winston) - Archer's molls
Third Poor Person (portrayed by Kitty Kelly) - Archer's molls
Poor Person #1 (portrayed by Maria Andre) - Archer's molls
Poor Person #2 (portrayed by Audrey Betz) - Archer's molls
Poor Person #3 (portrayed by Jane Crowley) - Archer's henchman
Poor Person #4 (portrayed by Jimmie Horan) - Archer's henchman
Poor Person #5 (portrayed by Johnny Kern) - Archer's henchman
Poor Person #6 (portrayed by Dominica Rico) - Archer's molls
