Still my favourite Batman.

I saw recently saw an Episode of Batman, for the first time in decades.

I hadn't realized how campy it was.

What I did realize was that the Adam West Batman was the undisputed heart and Source of the Captain Kirk stilted Delivery.

Adam West created the Shatner voice.

Yeah, West's Batman was campy but his Bruce Wayne was nearly perfect.

 

[Rodders]

RIP Batman.

 

[reiver33]

Holy Heaven, Batman!

 

[HanaBi]

The best Batman of all.

"Quick! To the Bat-mobile, Robin!"

 

[Vertigo]

Camp maybe, but it was wonderful kids TV. I will always remember his batman (and not forgetting Robin) with warmth and affection. RIP

 

[REBerg]

Adam West may have left this world, but his Batman is eternal.

We tried so many times with torches, bike lights and cardboard cut out shapes to duplicate this signal as kids..

Metropolis and Gotham

He was in Robinson crueso on mars

 

[The Ace]

And, of course, we'll always have the memory of Sheldon's Birthday in, "The Big Bang Theory," when his friends decided to invite Batman.

West reputedly had a ball making the episode.

I watched a documentary about super heroes a few weeks ago, & it stated that Hef had been behind the creation of the BATMAN TV series. apparently, they showed the old BATMAN serials in the PLAYBOY clubs, & viewers found them hilarious.
