Holy Piano Keyboard, Batman! Adam West died today at age 88. Rest in peace.

BAM! RIP Caped Crusader.

Holy shit. Holy bad news. This is sad. I loved that show when I was a kid.

Thanks Batman and thanks Adam West.

God bless Adam West.

Rest easily, Caped Crusader.

Strangely I was talking to Jimbo last night that my earliest memory of watching TV was Batman during the 1966-67 season when I was 6. We weren't really a TV family in those days and it was B&W. But Batman was the bomb for a 6 year old.

Now I wake up to this terrible news.

RIP Adam West, my Batman.

Oh wow man?! RIP Caped Crusader.

The only true Batman. Rip.

RIP to the real Batman

That show was my introduction to superheroes at age 6. And like John G said, that show was the bomb when I was 6.

This is a great loss to those of us who grew up on that show.

I just popped in one of the blu rays and watched a couple of episodes in tribute.

How will he get out of this one?

It had to happen some time. A classic hero, a childhood memory, and a continuing presence in popular culture with his iconic voice. He gave us so much. He will be missed.

R.I.P., Adam.

I heard that line in the voice of Wiliam Dozier.

Thank you.

He was so cool. His show was so much fun. Everybody wanted to be on it, even Frank Sinatra.

Glad he lived to see it FINALLY get to DVD and get a few pennies for it but more importantly that the legacy continues. As it will forever!

Thanks Mr. West for all the fun and memories. RIP, we all love you.

I wonder why Sinatra never appeared? Scheduling conflict?

I assume he would have done a window cameo, as I can't imagine him playing one of the guest villains.

Oh, I don't know Dr. Chris. He loved the camp of the show. Probably scheduling issues and maybe his agents kind of resisted his interest.

Mr. Sinatra is on record saying he just loved the show. Like John Lennon getting a kick of 'The Monkee's' tv show. These icons had a great sense of humor as well.

CLASSIC

Very happy that we got the recent animated movie with Adam and Burt. Rest well, Caped Crusader. The denizens of Gotham will never be the same.

THE best TV show opening ever, bar none. Watched six eps tonight, was never tempted to skip the theme. From the running opening to the morph into the logo, to the unshakeable anticipation of hearing Batgirl's motorcycle even when I know it's not coming.

Not going to repeat my post from upstairs, but I got to meet Adam West a couple years ago, and it was everything I could have hoped it would be.

There is a crisis in Gotham City, who will answer the call?
