I heard about Adam West’s passing pretty quick after it was announced. I posted a simple message in Facebook:
“Batman is dead…”
Not a single person asked which, they all knew there was only one Batman: The original. I observed the same on other timelines and it is good to know that even younger generations knew that for million of us, old farts, batman will always be the funny and campy Adam West.
I have this vision of George Burns as God sticking his head out of a window and talking with the Caped Crusader as often happened during those climbs.
What a great image.
