Batman - Adam West - Dead!

[Melonfeud]

My mom told me she got Adam West's autograph when he was filming a scene for a Perry Mason episode in the early 60s. Said he was so handsome. lol. She was around 16 or 17.

Pretty cool!
I've got an older sister who lives in Atlanta and she kinda lurked/ stalked ' frank Gershwin' (?) The RIDDLER for his autograph
she was all excited telling me about it

I never cared much for the Riddler but I loved the Penguin and Joker, they were great villians

I'm pretty sure she would've lurked/ stalked those two guys as well,,,if she knew where they were at.

I'm very saddened to hear this. Fond memories of watching Batman as a kid. RIP Adam.

Yeah they were. lol. I miss the villains of the good ole days. Hard to believe how long ago it was. RIP Mr. West. You will always be remembered and loved, dear sir.

...Adam West was the first to bring the "Batman" character to screen, at least for me.!...His portrayal of the caped crusader was actually very much in line with the comic's version of "Batman!"....sad to see him pass!...TDM

Loved his version the one and only. As Batman was funny and warm. While being no nonsense at the same time. Do not like the darker versions of him in the movies. May Adam RIP! Hence the avatar.

Joker, Penguin, & Riddler should go the funeral.

You guys can have the Riddler, the Joker and the Penguin. I'll take Julie Newmar.

Catwoman, Ginger, Mary Ann and National Geographic were all I needed as a kid!

It was the Batusi




RIP, caped crusader.

I've just finished watching this again, Cracking me up!
I find it hard to believe out of 36,000+ registered forum members that I've got to be the one that sez':
" Must,,Reach,,,, Utility, Belt"

Yowsers!

All of those visual sound effects in the Batman show could actually be heard emanating from my pre-adolescent shorts while watching those TV shows!

Just an fyi - I think his name was Frank Gorshin. Burgess Meredith played the Penguin and Cesar Romero was the Joker.

Thanks and I Copy!
I'm certain my sister would point that out to me also!
After all she apparently slapped a 8" x10" black and white photo on him to sign, hell, she prolly had a transit bus driver on a smoke break take a picture of them,she mentioned something along those lines,,, I was just listening to her over the phone?,,, it was prolly in my scotch drinking days,anyway.

When I was young, I watched Batman and took it at face value. As I got older, I appreciated West's campy portrayal of the character. It was like an inside joke to the parents of the kids watching the show. It was like he was telling them, "Its OK, your kids are safe with me."
