Camp as a troop of boy scouts, but a most enjoyable TV series!

R.I.P.

RIP Mayor West.

In the message on the radio it was said that Adam West could not get many other moviejobs, because they made always a connection with Batman. But there are many others that have that weight! Yes; surely something from my childhood. RIP Adam West!

Best known for his role on Family Guy, surely?

Maybe for the younger generation, thats if they knew who Adam West was, for some it's probably just a character.

For everyone else, he was THE Batman.

Yeah, I wasn't actually being entirely serious about "best known".

Yeah, I wasn't actually being entirely serious about "best known".

Quite hard to know either way on a forum though.

I guess it depends on age. But I'm willing to bet more random people in the street would recognise the character on the left than the one on the right.
