dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Adam West died today at 88 years old. He played Batman in the campy version back in the 1960's but has continued to work. He did the voice of the mayor on Family Guy. I remember seeing him and Burt Ward who played Robin a few years ago at a Fan Comic Con. RIP old chum! pow! Bam!

That fuckin shark repellent made me laugh every time RIP Yeah, my mom saw it when it was released in the 60's. It's still in reruns sometimes on a cable channel. The Batman show is on every Saturday night on the local "me" channel. I was able to watch the show on reruns growing up and now my daughter knows that batman show too. I have to tell her that they are very old now. lol I read in today's paper that Adam West played the mayor's voice on Family Guy for over 17 years. Wow! No matter what he will always be remembered for being Batman and he probably loved it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 glad to see all the glowing praises and affirmations about the so charming, witty, and personable Adam West. so many quotes but i think this was my favorite: "He was the giant upon whose shoulders all that have donned the cowl have stood." by Troy Baker rest well Mr. Adam West, you will be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm posting this here because I think ALOT of his Mayor West character was kinda based off of this. It was a TV pilot he did but it is brilliant. It was called Lookwell. A washed-up TV action hero Ty Lookwell, (played by Adam West) —who at the peak of his career was ceremonially deputized by local law enforcement—falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 He had a good run. It's a shame he could never shake off the Batman typecast. He could've been good in lots of other stuff but never got the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
