How sad. West came across as a guy with a good sense of humor and made a career out of sending up his signature role, Batman.
ZitatAdam West, the actor best known for playing Batman on the classic ’60s TV show, died Friday after a battle with leukemia, his family said on Saturday. He was 88 years old.
West was not the first actor to play the Caped Crusader, or the crimefighter’s millionaire alter-ego Bruce Wayne, but his campy portrayal is considered by many to be the gold standard.
“In my eyes there was only one real Batman — and that is and always will be Adam West,” Burt Ward, who played the hero’s trusty sidekick, Robin, told The Hollywood Reporter.
