As I’ve noted many times, Adam West is the reason I do this. He introduced me to Batman and everything followed from that.
He was born Sept. 19, 1928, and I’ve spent barrels and barrels of digital ink writing about his exploits and legacy — and those of his Bat-colleagues — over the last few years. It’s been an incredible joy.
But I’ve never taken a step back and looked at his best, coolest, funniest, wackiest moments as Batman. I did it for Burt Ward’s Robin when it was the erstwhile Boy Wonder’s birthday last year (click here), so I’m doing it for Adam West here.
Because while he wasn’t actually Batman, he was an underrated performer who had a gift for melding comic timing with an action persona.
So, happy 88th birthday, Adam West!
