J.T. Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Goddammit. I totally forgot that he was in The Happy Hooker.Goes To Hollywood and was the voice of R. Kelly's attorney in an episode of The Boondocks. RIP to the Bright Knight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Was he still doing voice work for Family Guy (I haven't watched FG in a very long time)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 West voicing a guard in the GTA V prologue might still be my favorite random role he has done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Loved his guest role on The New Zorro. Spoiler And this random photo I just came across is glorious. Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 RATS. 88 is a good run, but it still stinks. His turn as Simon Trent/The Gray Ghost in Batman: The Animated Series and Thomas Wayne in Batman: The Brave and the Bold are gems. It was always a treat to hear his voice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Maybe Family Guy will do a Mayor West funeral episode that won't stink for a change RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The power went out a few weeks ago, so I decided to watch the '66 movie on my laptop. As I watched, I thought to myself how much longer West would be with us. He made the absurd work on a constant basis with Batman. And I gotta pile on what Burgundy said. His work in TAS is fantastic and made for some of the best episodes of a remarkable series. Pure West! "I shouldn't wish to attract attention."

(BP) Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 West, possibly hammered, cutting a promo on Superking Jerry Lawler. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just found out from a best friend. Gutted. I grew up on the Batman TV series, the movie from it and his memorable turn in Beware the Gray Ghost from the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Adam West will be missed R..I.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Can't rally remember the tv show and movies since I only caught reruns from when I was really young, but I always loved hearing his voice. His random Family Guy appearances were usually fun, and I will always love the Grey Ghost episode from BTAS. This is a shame to hear.

The Natural Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'll also remember Adam West for his voiceovers in the Simpsons, the Fairly Odd Parents and SpongeBob Squarepants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I don't know which episode it was, but I remember as a kid being terrified at one particular cliffhanger that this was really the one time that the villains captured Batman. No way was there any escape for him and Robin this time! Of course, li'l fascinated me was a bit disappointed when he basically just walked out of the trap at the start of the next episode.

twiztor Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 so sad. adam west as batman was my introduction to the character and began a lifelong love. as mentioned, his guest roles on batman TAS were highlights on an already fantastic show. guess we'll catch him on the other side. same bat-time, same bat-channel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I echo what's already been said. Goodbye Caped Crusader. I'm so glad they got the rights to Batman '66 straightened out before he died and we got the cartoon movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APO Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I may have fallen out of love with Batman over the last 20-ish years, but nothing can replace the memories of me and my younger brother coming home from school and gleefully yelling out all the sound effects while watching the '66 show re-runs at our grandma's house. Godspeed, Mr. West, and thank you so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 If you haven't watched STARRING ADAM WEST yet it was a pretty fun doc. and Adam is hilarious throughout. The trailer makes it look way darker than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASSSS I KEPT MY REASON BY RECITING THE MULTIPLICATION TABLES BACKWARDS~! Like everybody else here I grew up on West's Batman and though rewatching in recent years it seemed a little cringeworthy (I guess I've not been as innocent; also, weed would probably have helped) but seeing that again was great. I did the eye gesture as I took a shot earlier today in honor. EDIT: Forgot to mention Robin geeking out in the Batmobile. It appears that Burt Ward might've been touching himself in the scenes they didn't show. Also, this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
