What can I say?
The man who portrayed the only version of Batman I really liked has passed away:

Holy Grim Reaper, Batman! R.I.P.

I hadn't followed him in his post Batman life, but the few times I saw or heard him over the years, he seemed a kind man who embraced the legend of a "lesser" role that most actors would have tried to distance themselves from.

Pow! Wham! Sniffle.

Rest In Peace Caped Crusader.

I was reading about him yesterday (specifically about his Johnny Bravo Cameo), and today is now dead.

RIP Adam West. Your cheesy Batman will never be forgotten :sad:

Batman's legacy is kinda summed up (for me) in a recollection by his co-star:

"We put on our tights to put on the world"

I think that captures the essence of Batman
