Rest In Peace Adam West 3 3

[KirbyJack]

My friend Mike is an avid Bat collector, and he once won a customized phone message voiced by West! He got to write exactly what he wanted, and it's still on his phone.

The man did not disappoint!

Man.  Julie Newmar was so HOT.  I wonder if Adam ever tagged that?  I'd admire  him even more than I do now.

I'm a big fan of the show.

I think they got a lot of things right on the show. The Mansion, access and interior to the batcave, some good casting (Newmar and Ward especially), and superb writing (Lorenzo Semple). Naturally, the show was part-comedy, so it was purposely cheesy. Special effects weren't available for comic book tv/movies until just the turn of the century.

I liked a lot of West's work on the show, but to me he wasn't what I pictured Wayne/Batman to be. Robin (Ward) was spot on.

I don't mean to speak ill of the man after his death but he wasn't not the nicest person to his fans from autograph signing stories that I have heard, and his ego was higher than his acting career merited.

Now if Newmar dies I'll really be in mourning. They broke the mold after they made her. I'll never know when we see another woman like her.

He was such a great guy. He had a great sense of humor as well.

loved hearing his voice on family guy. His bits where amazing.

His Big Bang Theory episode was pretty good as well---- "Grade A West"  and "...people new I was Batman..."

Being on Batman (1966) allowed me to do something we actors are taught never to do: overact.
