In Memory of Adam West

Description

I didn't watch a lot of the old Adam West Batman show, but I do remember watching the Adam West Batman movie back to back with the first Batman movie done by Tim Burton. One of the last performances I knew Adam from was his reprisal in Lego Batman 3, because they were also celebrated the anniversary of the Batman show and the 75th year of the Batman Comics all together. There was a bonus stage in Lego Batman 3 that was based on the Adam West show as well as cameos of things through and even the ending credits was of Batman & Robin climbing up a build old school style. They even did the the Batusi dance. 

I know Adam was in a lot of other things, but like Leonard Nimoy as Spock, if you though of Adam West, you more than likely thought of Batman. And while you could argue he's the silliest of Batman, that only just made it more enjoyable. It was a product of it's time but in a good way. He was still clever, always did the right thing, and was even a gentleman to the ladies. He played such important part in Batman's history that I don't think the bat would have stayed in the public's mind as much if he wasn't around. Plus you gotta admit that car even by today's standards is still classy and cool.

I like his version of Batman so much, I was even planning on doing a issue of Solar Girl where she would travel to an alternate universe that was very much an Adam West style version Solar Girl's universe. Complete with "BAM, POW, THWAK," sounds, over the top super villain plans, and of course (hopefully) the charm of what made that show great. Heck I made nods to it in the very first issue of Solar Girl.

So Long Ol' Chum. See you in the Next life, Same Bat-time, Same Bat-channel.
