Who didn’t watch this show when it was first on in the 60s? Catwoman was the first time I realized that girls were pretty hot after all! I must have been around 8 then.
Best “Batman” ever! We used to watch his show every afternoon when we came home from school.
My daughter just met him and Burt Ward at a Comic-Con in Dallas in April. She said he and Ward did a Q&A also, and both were very funny and nice.
He didn’t make any mention of being ill.
Rest in peace.
Good night old chum.

When I visited Sun Valley, Idaho, they told me to look up Adam West in the Sun Valley phonebook. And I can verify that this is how it really was.

When I was pledging my fraternity one of the more popular pledge line questions was:
“Who were the baddest and the bat-est Betas?”
The answer was George Peppard and Adam West.
Rest in peace, brother.
Forever in -kai-
when Adam West entered a room Chuck Norris would tremble
I still remember this exchange between Batman and the Penguin (or maybe the Riddler) on the old series:
Penguin: Your mother wears army boots!
Batman: Yes, she did. And she found them quite comfortable!
He was the best Batman ever. That show kept true to the campy nature of the original comics. The new stuff has turned to the dark side.
Imagine assembling a cast of typecast actors such as Batman, Jethro, Gilligan, etc.
Loved this show. The first custom car show I ever went to, at the Westchester Cty Center in White Plains, NY had the Batmobile on display. RIP, Mr. West.
Eternal Rest Grant unto Adam O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon him
may his soul and all the souls
of the faithfully departed
through the Mercy of God
rest in peace.
God Speed, to that great Bat Signal in the Sky, Adam!
Wanted to hear Adam West sing,
“Nana nana nana nana
Nana nana nana nana,
Me!”
I remember as a little boy I rigged a rope to the second story of my granddad’s house and Was very surprised that I couldn’t just walk up the wall from the backyard to my bedroom window.
Iconic part of my childhood. Back when the 89 movie came out, I started watching the old TV show (which I didn’t know existed) on the old Family Chanel religiously after school.
West made batman a hero and role model instead of someone with a serious mental illness and anger issues.
We are almost down to Mr. T as the only real good example for kids these days.
Sorry to hear this.
Just a few days ago, I was watching episodes of Batman the TV series on “the Daily Binge” that was airing on the “Decades” channel.
This entire month they are showing TV shows that aired fifty years ago, in 1967.
The last time I saw Adam West on TV in a recent series, he was playing himself on an episode of “The Big Bang Theory.” A birthday party was thrown for Sheldon, and his friends hired Adam West to appear (as himself) at the party in the apartment.
What a show...same bat time, same bat channel... RIP Batman...

Burt Ward all grown up.
