No, the reason why Buddy didn't pull the trigger that night was at once simpler and infinitely more complex than mind control.

->'''Q: Do you think that, for all their superficial campiness, the [[Series/Batman1966 Adam West Bat-villains]] are actually the least likely to reform or even feel bad about the crimes they've committed?'''\\
A: ''[...]'' There's a very simple answer to this question, which is that it's absolutely right. The arch-criminals of Batman '66 will never, ever reform, mostly due to the fact that [[StatusQuoIsGod nothing is ever meant to change on that show]]. ''[...]'' The quirks of the crimes were different, of course, with cat's eye opals, gold-plated sarcophagi and valuable clown paintings all reserved for the appropriate villains, but if you swapped out a couple of adjectives and a bit of set dressing, one could work as well as the next. The motivations were all the same, particularly in that they didn't actually exist. ''[...]'' The crooks of Batman '66 didn't really have any life-changing, motivating tragedies -- and, incidentally, neither did that version of Batman. They just had affectations, high pitched giggles and sparkly catsuits that were applied to the same formula of crime and deathtrap. Nobody ever really seemed like they were that hard up for cash, so crime wasn't a vocational thing for them. They didn't need the money they'd get from heisting the ancient riddle scrolls or whatever, and there's only really one episode I can think of where someone is actually frustrated at being unable to fence stolen goods and actually profit from the crime. It wasn't about the money for them, it was about the act. They weren't just criminals, they were arch-criminals -- they only existed to break the law, committing crime simply for crime's sake. ''[...]'' But that's only one facet of crime, and if Batman is a new kind of person, someone with limitless resources and fantastic determination, then Crime is going to have to evolve to keep up with him, metastasizing into a purer strain of criminal. Just like Batman no longer really needs to avenge the death of his parents, the criminals of Gotham City don't really need to profit from their crimes, making them a means to an end. Crime is the profit, evil is the end, re-establishing that imbalance, trying to inject that element of fear and chaos back into a city that outgrew traditional ideas of evil. If you take that idea and flatten it out, ironing out all the psychological complexities and simplifying it for a 22-minute time slot every Tuesday and Wednesday, smoothing everything over with a healthy amount of irony, you're left with Batman '66: Criminals who commit crimes purely for the sake of crime, and a crimefighter who battles against them purely for the sake of the law. ''[...]'' The criminals commit crimes because they are capital-C Criminals, compelled to do so for no reason other than Crime For Crime's Sake.

So these evil people in the past, they committed evil acts because they were callous and horrible individuals, but they also at least had some kind of goal they were looking to achieve.
