Adam West - R.I.P

Adam West  ... P.O.W ... B.A.M ... B.I.F.F .... surely?

Only the Boomers understand. I'm one and I do. Culture, popular culture, cultural revolution. Change, development, evolution and revolution. And high art, decent health care, discipline, education, literacy. Hovercraft, Concorde. Film, fashion and above all music. RIP Adam West

don't step on an ant

must have watched every episode a hundred times as a kid, sad loss

Unhappy memories for me, I was the only kid in my class that got sent to bed before Batman. Used to go to school early on a Monday morning so I could earwig what people were saying about the previous nights episode so I could pretend I'd seen it

Possibly the best camp-comedy Batman of all time.

That scene in the Batman movie where he tries to dispose of the bomb on the harbourside will never be surpassed.

I used to rush home to watch..excitement and expectation off the scale!!..happy days.

"To the batmobile!" For the final journey.

RIP Adam West

Holy Hand Grenades

Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin flew away.
The batmobile lost its wheels
and landed in the hay.

That's about as it came to humor when I was six

Unless of course you include "My friend Billy had a ten foot Willy

Good ffs

Georgie Best, superstar, wears frilly knickers and a Playtex bra a shocking omission.

It is starting to make sense Dan!

Yes WD I admit I'm damaged goods

Think my first ever Science lesson came from the first  Batman movie, people were dissolved into piles of dust with some sort of ray gun & Batman said something along the lines that people were 90 odd percent water then he proceeded to pour them in a glass vessel of some sort, it was all a bit too much at the time for a five year old !!

Oh Dan,

You have no idea

I went to a strict religious school where the boys were routinely beaten and no doubt buggered and I have had to live with that knowledge!

What was wrong with me? why didn't it happen to me!

I also always carried shark repellent spray in my utility belt after watching Batman!

Adam West was offered the role of James Bond in Diamonds are Forever before Sir Roger got the part.
Bert Ward (Robin) auditioned for the role- wait for it- of Benjamin in The Graduate- the role that started  Dustin Hoffman on the way to success!

BOOMF SPLATT SCRENCH RIP!
