I know exactly how you felt and as a very young child. I built a bat cave in my backyard or what I thought was a bat cave and dreamt about one day becoming Batman.
That is what I was about to type. I am tearing up. And the look on Adam's face. I know he is very honored to see this collection. I was born in 1965. WOW!!! Just recently I was able to find Batman TV series on one of my cable networks. I was like, "HOLY CRAP!! THERE'S BATMAN!!" Those were the good ole days. I watched Batman and then Dark Shadows before my Mom got home from work every afternoon after school. Thanks Ralph. I know you have put some much time and money into this collection. Thanks for sharing it with so many Batman fans. Adam West was and is THE ONLY BATMAN!!!
The look on his face when he saw the cowl, it was like he saw an old friend after 50 years. he was young again just for a few moments. It must have been worth every second to him. What a gift to give.
I just started the story and I already knew as a Batman fan how highly respected and favored Adam west was and he started it all for Batman hitting the big screen and it warmed my heart after seeing him put it on it was like I didn’t change the channel, and I’m only 18 years of age, when I heard he past, it ate me up, but I’m glad to see that he knew his impact.
@@domlobo8029 It was a surprise to me when he passed away. Here, he appears so healthy and energetic. It really warms my heart that he saw this before he went. Some actors go their entire lives and no-one recognizes them but when Adam performed on screen for 3 years, It followed him and many children for the rest of their lives and made a mark on history. Some say it was cheesy, comical and very low budget but sometimes things work out better that way. It's more fun and entertaining if you don't take it seriously. I think Adam and Burt had a lot of fun making it. That's the magic recipe. Have fun. Don't take it seriously and enjoy yourself. You could see the memories flooding back to him. At that point, you could see, that he was in heaven. R.I.P Adam West
The moment when Adam west puts on that cowl......... I seriously got tears. Thank you so much Ralph for this wonderful video. I'm so happy you had a chance to be a part of your childhood hero's life.
Man you might get 100 views a day just from me, I cannot stop looking at this, especially the part when Adam puts on the cowl. Makes me smile every time.
If you want to see a Longer version of this video, Get Adam West Batman The complete Series DVD or Blu-ray Because I know This Ralph made this video of The Adam West Batman TV Series Special Features
Adam West is the Batman for whom I have the deepest personal affection. I am not a film critic to choose between other actors, I was caught by the luminous magic of a colorful series that immediately connected with my child's heart. I am not at all ashamed of this great Batman. Dozens of actors have come and will come to play Batman, but none will be like his Batman, "The Knight of Light"...
Thanks for this.You just made a 62 year old kid smile...We were lucky enough to get Adam's signed photo some years back from his site.We will keep it from now on...
Watching Ralph Garman show off his batman collection to Adam West reminds me of the batman the animated series episode when batman show's off his grey ghost collection who was voiced by Adam West.
Ralph, I've been a fan of yours for a long time and this is truly a heart warming piece. I can see how just one experience with Mr. West could impact you so much, not to mention becoming his friend. Thanks for sharing your friendship with us.
Reminds me of Batman showing off his shrine to the Gray Ghost in the Batcave. "As a kid, I used to watch you with my father. The Gray Ghost was my hero."
Great video, Ralph! I was born in 1954 and I loved the Batman TV series too. The first song our daughter, Shannon, who was born in 1988, ever sang was the sixties Batman theme, just like you. Thanks for creating this fantastic collection and for sharing this video of Adam West's visit. I'm sure all of our fellow Batman fans are glad to hear you say your Batman fever never "Wayned" (pun intended!).
I just stumbled upon this video and instant like! You can really see Adam West transform over time in the "Bat Cave" from shy to comfortable to fully immersed. By the end of the video, Adam became Batman once again!
That is an extremely awesome collection. My favorite tv show as a kid of the 60’s. It played twice a week that first season as I remember, which was rare for a weekly program. And the collection; oh what a collection. Some I remember having as a kid, especially that lunchbox. I could spend the whole day in that room and get lost in the nostalgia. Thank you for showing this and bringing back the wonderful memories. And RIP to the original Batman himself!
I have some Batman 66 items with other Batman collectibles and still collecting. Seeing yours Ralph is amazing and an honor having Adam West over putting on the cowl is somber and still mourning. RIP Mr. Adam West.
This was magical to watch.Thank you for this awesome video.To see the legend himself looking at ur collection made me almost cry happy tears.Omg this was the best batman TH-cam video ever.Thanks for sharing this.When he put the mask on i broke down and did cry happy tears.RIP Adam West.👍👍👍✌❤😃
I actually liked the 1966 cowl and have always thought it would look good in leather or a more modern fabric. Adam West was a great guy, and pretty funny.
As a kid I use to watch you with my father the Gray Ghost? I mean Batman is my Hero. Ralph you are very Lucky to have meet Adam and this is just like Batman: The Animated Series episode "Beware the gray ghost". And like Adam said So It Wasn't All For Nothing. Thanks for the post Ralph.
Back in a time when things were simple, meant to last. And after all these years the cowl still fits like they day it was made. Gotta say when he put the cowl on that brought back some memories.
This clip alone reminds me of that episode of Batman: TAS where Adam voices the Grey Ghost, and discovers Batman was inspired to make Gotham a better place because of Grey Ghost.
I know it's been a few years now but rip to the goat of batman. Wish I could have met Mr west. Love to meet u Ralph! Love babble on. So bable the fuck on!
oh man, I got tears in my eyes and the biggest smile when he puts on the mask! thanks for that Ralph! RIP Adam!
I know exactly how you felt and as a very young child. I built a bat cave in my backyard or what I thought was a bat cave and dreamt about one day becoming Batman.
yaaa me2
Same here. I was just about to post this almost verbatim and then I saw your comment.
So did I. What an amazing moment.

Having Batman check out your Batman collection has got to be an amazing feeling!
Brings tears to my eyes when put on the kowl...rip dear bright knight
Man you might get 100 views a day just from me, I cannot stop looking at this, especially the part when Adam puts on the cowl. Makes me smile every time.
The best part is when he put that mask on, wow! Rest in peace Adam!👍😎🙏
"Gime that sucker!" Haha so awesome. RIP
That was what cracked me up! So cool to see this. Love his collection.
I need this to be a hour long!

I'm speechless... Adam West with his cowl again after years put me on my face a smile and, at the same time, a tear. I... we, miss you Adam.
What an honor to have the late Adam West admiring your 1966 Batman collection in the flesh!
I can't help imagine Trekkies trying this kind of thing on Shatner. There would be a different kind of tears.
Adam West is the Batman for whom I have the deepest personal affection.

Great collection, I really got emotional when Adam put on the cowl, he was a legend.
R.I.P. Adam West.
3:30 the best part of the video.
I could tell you genuinely appreciated Adam seeing your collection. Seeing Adam put on that cowl had to have been a special moment.
this will always be timeless. I love that Adam enjoyed the experience and this is really cool to see for collectors like myself.
Thanks for sharing this, Ralph. That's quite the treasure you've got there, and the collection's pretty great too.
Thanks for this.You just made a 62 year old kid smile...We were lucky enough to get Adam's signed photo some years back from his site.We will keep it from now on...
RIP MR WEST
Brought me to tears..... Good job Ralph
A bit late in watching this but I love the way Adam West appreciates the collection and doesn’t dismiss it. Wonderful.
Watching Ralph Garman show off his batman collection to Adam West reminds me of the batman the animated series episode when batman show's off his grey ghost collection who was voiced by Adam West.
Watching this makes you say that Ralph is very truly an die hard and it's awesome when Adam West puts on the cowl from the show, RIP Adam West.
I was 7 when the show premiered. l was totally hooked. My cellar became a mini batcave for me & my friends. I had all the merchandise. Great memories.
This is August 2020 . And I’m crying in sadness and joy 😭😭😭
Ralph, I've been a fan of yours for a long time and this is truly a heart warming piece. I can see how just one experience with Mr. West could impact you so much, not to mention becoming his friend. Thanks for sharing your friendship with us.
Reminds me of Batman showing off his shrine to the Gray Ghost in the Batcave.
"As a kid, I used to watch you with my father. The Gray Ghost was my hero."
I’d be crying for weeks after this, that’s truly an awesome experience!
I can tell from this video that Adam was both a friend and a hero to you Ralph
Great video, Ralph! I was born in 1954 and I loved the Batman TV series too. The first song our daughter, Shannon, who was born in 1988, ever sang was the sixties Batman theme, just like you.

Kevin Smith just mentioned you Ralph, in a live facebook video. Had to search out more about your Batman collection.
We love you Adam
Oh man, 56 years ago during the very first episode I became a fan.
Back in a time when things were simple, meant to last. And after all these years the cowl still fits like they day it was made. Gotta say when he put the cowl on that brought back some memories.
