Adam West


* picture from adamwest.com

Adam West passed away recently, and we all share the sense of loss.  After all, he was the Caped Crusader of our generation, the gold standard of how a masked hero would uphold good values and fight for justice.  He played the part with such ease, and the transition from Bruce Wayne (reality) to Batman (fantasy) and vice-versa carried over onto our own lives. We thus made sure we watched the program at the same Bat-time, on the same Bat-channel, week after week.  I read somewhere that he was offered the role of James Bond once, but turned it down, believing that Bond should be portrayed by a British actor. And rightly so. He is not Bond; he will forever be our beloved Batman.
