Actor Adam West has died. :(

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/adam-west-dead-batman-star-832264

He was our hero in the 60's. When we were four or five, our lives revolved around that time slot twice a week when Batman and Robin were out to do battle with The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, and The Riddler.

He inspired so many of us to take up careers in crime fighting and driving awesome cars while dressed in nifty capes and masks.

:batman:

:rip: Adam West. I guess they'll place the Batcorpse in the Batcasket, which will be placed in the Bathearse, from whence will be driven to the Batcemetary, where the late Adam West will be laid to rest in the Battomb.

(Sorry, I just I jist HAD to do this!, no harm intended!)

There's already a thread for this.

There's already a thread for this.
When a really big actor dies, it's okay to have multiple threads, usually on their show's forum and on the Chit Chat forum. The same thing was done when Mary Tyler Moore died.

I didn't find another thread on this Somehow I missed it. I just found out today about his death. Oh well.:)

Never missed an episode. Quite a character. Batman, too, of course.

Rest in peace, caped crusader

The Batman dance I love this!:lol:

Goodbye, Mr. West... :( :( :(

It's alright I guess.

Oh. I didn't know this and I apologize.

Ok, I'm curious. Where was this news first posted? Before I posted mine I looked at all of the obvious places and there is no Batman forum. I didn't see it on Chit Chat . Had it been pushed off yesterday's forum?:confused: And yes, it is normal to have multiple posts on a famous person. Bur if I see one I usually won't start a new thread.

Not meaning to belabor the subject but I did a search and found the original thread by Zoneboy. It was posted on the Classic dramas/dramadies forum! I would never had looked there as I always considered Batman a sitcom. No wonder I couldn't find it!:confused:

It is not until now that I realized that Adam West had Swedish ancestry.

RIP.

Good-bye old chum! RIP Adam West

I understand Robin, Batgirl, Superman, Spiderman, Captain America and Iron Man will be pallbearers at the Bat Funeral. :rip:

God bless all policemen
and fighters of crime,
May thieves go to jail
for a very long time.

They've had a hard day
helping clean up the town,
Now they hang from the mantelpiece
both upside down.

A glass of warm blood
and then straight up the stairs,
Batman and Robin
are saying their prayers.

* * *

They've locked all the doors
and they've put out the bat,
Put on their batjamas
(They like doing that)

They've filled their batwater-bottles
made their batbeds,
With two springy battresses
for sleepy batheads.

They're closing red eyes
and they're counting black sheep,
Batman and Robin
are falling asleep.

RIP

Rest in peace.

And the odd thing is, most people consider a show like Eight Is Enough to be a drama or dramedy and yet it is on the 70s Sitcoms Boards.
