Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.

West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.

West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Damn!  RIP batman!

Adam West, the man who could hit criminals so hard that words popped out in mid air!

RIP Caped Crusader.

RIP Batman.

I could have sworn that I saw that he died a couple of years ago.  Obviously, I confused him with someone else.

I'll miss him. He was so good at poking fun at himself on Family Guy.

RIP
