Another big part of my youth gone. His Batman was fun from a more optimistic time.

Dang, man. Sorry to see him go. So memorable as a campy Batman.

Adam West may not have been the greatest Batman, but he was certainly one of the very most memorable, setting a tone for the Caped Crusader for years.

A bit belated, but RIP. He was the best Batman. Also did great voice acting as 'Catman' from Fairly Odd Parents and 'Mayor West' from Family Guy.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Something i was and in fact still am very sad about. He shaped my childhood and was the only real father figure, even if he was only a fictional one, who taught me important life lessons in a campy but fun way! He was the only guy i would have gone to a comic con for in order to get a photo taken with him.
