Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.
West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.
West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
“Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans' lives. He was and always will be our hero,” his family said in a statement.

 

Rest in Peace :(

Damn, RIP.

 

RIP.

I wonder how, or if Family Guy will write off Mayor West.

 

I was thinking that. He was playing himself in a few shows still.

Aw damn it. This is what I get for not being on social media for the entire weekend. I just read about this too. Adam West was a barrel of laughs as Batman. R.I.P and bring the laughs to 'em up there, Adam.

 

This sucks. We lost James Bond, Wallace and now Batman in 2017 already.
