and the creator of the Hawaiian pizza...less joy in the world today.

True, but we can still eat the pizza while doing the Batbop.  I'd be happy to have left either behind

I am told that as a lad in '67 '68, I sat in a cardboard box , AKA my BatMobile, and watched the shows. My older brothers would slide me around on the carpet.

A huge loss for me, the world of comics, and Quahog, R.I.

 It's the yoga I tell you.  I wouldn't be a good sidekick if I couldn't do high kicks. 

 

 Crazy thing. Everyone I  spoke to today was taken back by his passing.  He definitely made a lot of people smile and still does.

 Hey, I'll take it where I could get it

I experienced them as reruns in the mid-70's as a 9 to 10 year old. Loved it! I have the box set and it is full of nostalgia for me. Makes me sad. RIP Mr West

[Dark Knight]

RIP the Bright Knight!  I'm so shocked right now. I wish I met him and got his autograph and pic..  Urgh!?

RIP

Growing up in 1960s England, the Batman television show was a really big deal for me. The tongue-in-cheek portrayals and campness of Mr.West and co., were lost on me as a child. I really took it serious. Although his Batman incarnation differs hugely from the broody night-time stalker persona that is favoured now of the Batman, Adam West is truly as essential to the Batman mythos as milk is to cereal.

RIP Adam. Truly a legend.

A fun moment in the show's history is the Green Hornet x over. 

You get to watch Bruce Lee lose a fight to Burt Ward.

He will be missed. Very sad news.

I met him in 1989 and talked to him for a couple minutes when he was appearing somewhere, some store opening and he was there. I sort of made a fool of myself from being nervous and he made a joke that was really funny, I wish i could remember what it was. He was a funny guy, I wish he did more comedy roles. Batman was geat of course, but he did some great funny appearances on some tv shows in the 90s. He should have done more, he was such a talented funny guy. RIP

Very sad.  Like everyone else that posted, such an important figure in my collecting life. 

I'd highly recommend to anyone that loved the show as much as I did to read the (somewhat recent) series "Batman 66".  There are trades available (series is over).  Batman comics  done in the campy style of the old TV show.   So well done.  So much fun, in that goofy, charming spirit of the show.

I had heard lots of stories about West being surly, but I met him 2 or three times and he was always holding court as the most charming guy you ever would want to meet.
