Not to mention his role in one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time:

Re: A little perspective is in order: here in 2017, ABC couldn’t pull a 29.4 rating if it was offering a live broadcast of President Trump hitting Nancy Pelosi in the face with a Boston Cream pie.

Gadzooks-- I'd pay good money... to see that!

And it is not... an impeachable action--

That is unless Nancy... melts from the moisture in the cream.

Weren’t there plans to have Adam West reprise the role of Superman instead of Matt Damon’s boyfriend in the last couple of movies of Batman (Ben Affleck)?

You would think that if Gordon REALLY wanted to know who was under the mask, all he would need to do is trace the phone wire to its endpoint at stately Wayne Manor.

Must we peel off the man’s skin like that?

Have some class.

“despite admiring the bigscreen Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan versions”

Never cared for the Tim Burton versions, as a matter of fact I find all his movies to be a little too dark and creepy for my taste.......but that’s just me.

No eulogy would be complete without a reverent nod to the Batusi. Long Live the Batusi - a Tribute to Adam West

My favorite. I liked the way the car flipped over in the garage.

As a kid, I once had a picture taken with him and one of the Batmobiles in the background.

This was in the 1980’s, long after the show went off the air. He then walked around the car show and talked with “Normal people”.

It was a great day for me. My Dad and him chatted about some car that they had both owned (a Super Sport maybe?), and my Dad probably didn’t realize it was Adam West. I did, and couldn’t get the idea out of my head that my Dad was talking to Batman.
