    My favorite Adam West memory is from Newsradio. Jimmy James is on trial for being D.B. Cooper, insists that it was really Adam West. And then West walks into the courtroom and admits it.

    West seemed like he had an incredible sense of humor and never took himself too seriously. It's a rare trait. He had a long career and will be remembered forever for his work. No actor could ask for more.

    Him and Leslie Neilson should have been besties.

    I got a picture with him and heard him speak at Phoenix Comicon a few years back. He was just great all the way around.

    Why am I just now thinking of the idea of a Adam West and Leslie Neilson Police Procedural Parody TV show. WHY IS THIS IDEA NOW LOST FOREVER.

    Batman (1966) is one of the first movies I remember watching. Homerecorded tape, I think.

    Adam West held out against 2016 the longest.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

    that's the one that ends with
    Batman mixing up the entire united nations' bodies and minds and then "sneak out" really obviously while credits roll, right?

    Hulu just randomly reminded me I had the last episode of Powerless to watch (quit watching it after they announced it was cancelled). Adam West was a guest star for that episode. Talk about a punch in the gut. He's great in it though.

    That episode never actually aired on television. They released it specifically as a tribute.

    They're doing a screening of that Batman movie next week at a local indie theater as a tribute to Adam West, which is pretty cool. I would have considered going had I not just watched it on Netflix a few weeks ago.

    i did go a bit back and forth on whether to bring back this thread for this trailer, but ultimately decided that this is a memorial, a tribute and as such should include Adam West's final turn as the Caped Crusader.
