RIP Adam West. The utility belt is finally empty.

Have just been reading the news of his passing. "Batman!" was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a little girl, and I had never even read any of the comic books at that time. (It was only decades later that I began to read Batman graphic novels and learn about the history of the character.)
RIP, sir. You brought a lot of happiness to children and adults, and lived your life well.Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif

R.I.P Adam West. Where are all the heroes going? First James Bond now Batman.
I hope that he takes his trusty can of shark repellant spray with him.

Quite funny in the long run - he knew how to adjust to a comic turn in his post-Batman years. He also had a long standing role as the crooked mayor (named "Adam West") on "Family Guy". He will be missed.

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

The True BatmanComment

It was part-spoof (more so than the 1950s predecessor series, "Superman" with George Reeves), as the show was campy. But West was playing his role seriously for quite on the show, until he got into the spoofing. His later career showed he'd developed good timing.Originally posted by Harry D View PostAre you saying the 1960s Batman wasn't a comedy?

I think I am correct in saying that only 5 actors from the entire tv series are still alive.. including Burt Ward (Robin) and the 2nd series Riddler.
Most nearly all of the others..heroes or villains.. have passed away, sadly.
RIP Mr. West.
Legend indeed.
