RIP Adam West
 

Adam West, TV’s ‘Batman,’ Dies at 88

F*ck Cancer.

This really, really sucks. :(

A man who pioneered the art of self-deprecation in the later stages of his career, but above all else, delighted generations of children as the definitive tv Batman.:(

RIP Adam West. I didn't know he was ill. Liked his portrayal of Batman in the 1960s series. He was my first introduction to a live-action Batman.

I just saw this on Variety. I was not exoecting it especially with the follow up to the Batman direvt to DVD coming up soon. Kevin Conroy is Batman's voice but Adam West is Batman's soul.:-(

Aw man. This really hurts. He was such a class act and a fine actor. I was very fortunate to have been able to get a photo with him and Burt Ward two months ago at Fan Expo Dallas. R.I.P. :( He was my first and favorite Batman. R.I.P.

So much no!!! >< Goid grief.

Rest in peace Bats.

Rest easy, Mayor West/Batman/Catman. :cry:

RIP Adam West

I watched the 60's version as a kid on cable and he also voiced The Gray Ghost episode in B:TAS, among characters in Family Guy and other cartoons. I think he also finished his recording for the new DTV Batman animated moving coming this Fall, so he'll have one final performance as Batman coming later this year.

Very sad. It seems like in the next few years all our childhood actors will pass away.

Brandon Auman said they almost cast him to play Wingnut. :cry:

Glad he to be a living legend for so long and kept going 'til the last, keep flying high & enjoy heaven Adam West

This really stinks. :(

RIP

This is just some very shocking news. We lost one of the greats. I enjoyed his Batman as a kid, and he will be missed by many.
Rest In Peace 'ol chum. :(

It was such a dumb concept yet it would be freaking awesome simply because of Adam West! Adam West and Ninja Turtles so close yet never to be.:( You are quite the informant today,Vicky.

Edit:
Coola, there could always be Mayor Burt Ward, his unknown vice-mayor once Mayor Adam West retires to paradise. Now its up to Seth McFarlene and Burt Ward,but it would be a perfect tribute and not killing him off per se,but retiring to paradise could imply that.

So true. The spirit of Batman has fallen.


This.

I was shocked when I heard the news, and when I told my co-workers noone believed me until they Googled it for themselves (TBH, I did the same thing). It's hard to believe that he's really gone.

I do wonder if Family Guy will suddenly kill off Mayor West or just make him not appear and have some new Mayor take over.

Good thing there's a new DTV 60's Batman movie coming out this Fall. It'll be Adam West's last performance as Batman, and last thing he ever made in general.

Though I like the dark Batman better IE BTAS, Keaton Batman, and the Dark Knight films, With out Adam West and his version of Batman, We may not have the Batman we have today. It was a major hit in the 1960's, and even when the show was over, it was still on reruns for decades after the fact. It had lasting impact. I loved Batman so much I did pick up West's Batman the complete series I think a year ago. Adam West was a TV legend, and a tv great. He will be miss. As a kid in the 1980's predated the 89 Keaton, West was Batman as I saw the reruns on TV almost every day.
