RIP Adam West

Holy Grim Reapers! Batman has flapped to the great bat cave in the sky.



Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.

West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.

West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The actor struggled to find work after the campy superhero series was cancelled, but he rebounded with voice over gigs, including one as the mayor of Quahog on 'Family Guy.'
