Sad news . . .

Adam West, star of the 'Batman' TV series, dies at 88

Luckily we had you to bring justice !

Maybe I should start watching them all again . . .

RIP my friend

I never saw a single Batman TV episode but Adam West is the face I see when I think of Batman.

Given the nature of the show it's amazing the amount of actors and some good quality actors that appeared on that show.
