Adam West a/k/a Batman has died.

Adam West, Straight-Faced Star of TV's 'Batman,' Dies at 88....   Read Here

RIP, Adam. My sister and I watched the show religiously in the '60s. And, being kids, we absolutely did NOT pick up on the fact that it was tongue-in-cheek, and that it was basically making fun of itself. We saw it as a straight-up superhero drama.

Same here, I never caught on until I grew up!



Since it has been on MeTV my wife and I watched all the episodes about a year ago. I had never seen them all. We enjoyed it but my kids thought it was hokey.

This is SO COOL!!!

 Had to share this....The Mayor of L.A. flipped the switch to light up the Bat Signal....Robin (Burt Ward) was there as well to say some nice words for his friend.

I think that was cool, re the bat signal. I wish though the producer of the many Batman movies would have let him have a cameo as he always wanted. Maybe not a huge things, but that small walk-on would have meant so much to him and been a "wink" to his fans.
