We lost a pop culture icon, and one my boys from the West clan, who was the best of us. Adam West passed away from a brief battle with leukemia at the age of 88. Adam in many eyes is the definitive Batman, able to play a role so deadpan, and yet so hilarious. Even though many people in the industry didn't cast him because of Batman, he succeeded at being a good sport and parodying himself and having a ball while doing it, especially as Mayor Adam West in Family Guy. RIP Mr.West, and never forget old chum, remember to do "The Batusi" every chance you can get, and never mess with Adam We! (1928 - 2017)
yo i didnt know he passed until i saw the discripton im about to cry right now because adam west was the shit back in the batman days r.i.p to the ol chum adam west you will be missed 😭😭😇🙏
john A. I remember when i was 3 or so and i watched one of his batman movies and not only was it my first batman movie but it was when i was introduced to hi
I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news. Adam West may not have been the most serious or action oriented Batman, but there's no denying he had his own charm that lent itself well to the Caped Crusader. And that's probably why so many of his roles involved parodies of Batman, or were from superhero shows. May he rest in peace.
R.I.P. Adam West (1928 - 2017). One of my childhood inspirations, you will be missed sincerely. From Batman to Family Guy, it doesn't matter, he loved what he did.
Holy comic book icons Mr West! You'll never be forgotten, we'll always have the memories, my one regret in life is that I never got you to sign anything of mine. Truly a great icon in the history of actors, one of the most recognisable voices R.I.P old chum! You brought us all 73 years of joy! Since that's how long you were in showbiz
Family Guy is never going to be the same again without Mayor West and so is the DC Universe without its first Caped Crusader. As a lifelong fan of Family Guy and DC Comics, I cannot express enough how devastated I am that Mr West is gone. They're probably gonna retire Mayor West out of respect for Mr West after the final 5 episodes he recorded have aired. RIP Adam, old chum. I hope you get those future old people wizard powers up in the skies.
Adam, you wickedly unintentionally humerous genius, your history is legendary, your story is known to all, you are an icon amongst Men, for Justice and truth that was only brought by the best, you are the Man to the Bat R.I.P Sir Adam West....
I barely recognized his voice in Chicken Little,his voice lines and the way he said was too damn badass unlike his usual subtle and comedic randomness from his usual characters. RIP Adam We,I'll miss you running Quahog the most.
@@lisettegarcia7013 I hope they're doing well in the heavens. Rest easy Adam West and Yvonne Craig. You two are in a better place now... We will never forget you.
West may not have been the best Batman but he represented an aspect of Batman that has been lost in modern Batman. Caring. For all the torment and brooding Batman still cares about the people he protects. Good guy or bad guy.
He's in heaven with Yvonne Craig, Frank Gorshin, Eartha Kitt, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Rudy Vallee, Lyn Peters, Lesley Gore, Madge Blake, Alan Napier, Stafford Repp, Neil Hamilton, James O'Hara, Victor Buono, David Lewis, Anne Baxter, Vincent Price, Cliff Robertson, Richard Bakalyn, Al Wyatt Sr., Carolyn Jones, Estelle Winwood, Tony Epper, Milton Berle, Jock Mahoney, Louis Quinn, Talluah Bankhead, James Griffith, Tol Avery, Van Williams, Bruce Lee, Julie Gregg, Dina Merrill, Michael Fox, Frank Baron, Howard Duff and more RIP Adam West
It's just terrible that so many amazing actors have passed away in only 1 1/4 years. He was one of the best people I ever knew about, he was wonderful and could fit any role given to him. Adam West will surely be missed.
Holy cow. He did so many voices for different shows. RIP the greatest person ever and also the first Batman. We will never forget you Adam West. :( I loved his performance in Fairly Odd Parents and Kim Possible. He had so much fun voicing these charaters. :D
Carter Heer Well he was in plenty of roles that weren't Batman and most people I've seen know him as more than "The Campy Batman". I see what you're saying but we both know that he was happy to be as loved as much as he was.
Two great legend left us, the batman Adam west and the king of marvel himself Stan Lee, thank you two for everything and may God have mercy upon both of you
Tear were shed upon his passing. Not only because we had lost a star, but because we would never be blessed by his magnificent voice again. Rest in peace, Adam West
There will never be another hero like him. No matter what super-hero series premieres, it won't be the same without him. Rest in Peace Adam West. You were a true hero, always and forever.
A little fact. My dad's friend once was married to Burt Ward's daughter. That's right, Adam West's young ward! But alas, a moment of silence please to the late Adam West.
every hero has their fame and a legacy (Adam west) is one of them and he will be remember as the original batman and he personal characters that he played over past few years. (will miss you bright knight a.k.a Adam west born: September 19, 1928 died: June 9, 2017) [long live the bright knight forever]
RIP Adam West your work here is complete rest easy. and for those who dislike this video, your the biggest losers in life to miss out on a great actor and a blessing to entertainment.
I am surprised that he preformed this long as an actor. Congrats to him. You can't beat the originals especially when it comes to Batman. RIP may you have a safe journey.
Thank YOU, Mr. West for all your years of Service to the Public Good... for showing Generations that Humor & Devotion to Craft are essential... Thank you for being my FIRST Batman/// and for showing us all that you can be more than just one thing... you were Loved for the hero you really were to those of us who needed Humor & Guidance
A piece of my childhood is gone now. I respected Adam West not only for his portrayal of Batman on TV, but the loyalty he had for the character in other media versions of Batman..the most important I felt was in a Superfriends' /Super Powers Team episode entitled "The Fear" ( 0:16- 0:45 ) in which Bruce Wayne (voiced by West) briefly re-tells the origin of how he became Batman. This was the first time (and I believe only time) in cinema history that Batman's origin was ever told outside the comic book medium. I am blessed that I got to grow up with his version of the character. You shall be missed many fans around the world. Say hello to George Reeves and others that have portrayed iconic heroes of our past. RIP
Even though his Batman role pretty much cost him his future career, he toughed through it, and he embraced the role of Batman so much, that he practically became the character. He WAS Batman. Actors usually just treat their roles as throw away, and move on to the next. But not Adam. His misfortune of being unable to leave Batman, became a blessing in disguise. He will always the the one and only true Batman. Rest in peace.
Blast Wave Good Point. Adam West was only in 2 or 3 Simpsons episodes, but James Woods was only in one, and the crossover episode featured Simpsons' James Wood talking to Family Guy's James Woods.

TheGenerationWest R I P Classic Batman
No one messes with Adam We
Oh snap that's in the video lol
🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫😒
Who is Adam We?
Nimble Bubble
Um, the Mayor of Quahog.
Nimble Bubble
Adam West. (I think)
It's weird how 90 percent of his characters are just cartoon versions of himself.
You know you're good when a TV show allows you to play yourself in the cartoon's universe
Really ?
It's tough being typecast. At least Adam was one of the kinds how eventually embraced it.
His voice is really distinct, it's kind of hard for him to do anything else.
he was typecast but dude was an amazing actor
when he voiced catman in the fairly odd parents is when I was first introduced to him. I don't remember how old I was but I miss him :(
john A. I remember when i was 3 or so and i watched one of his batman movies and not only was it my first batman movie but it was when i was introduced to hi
Same! I loved Catman. Adam West helped make my childhood.
He also played himself as TVs Adam West in one episode
john A. Me too and his appearance in KP
Same dude, he was the best
I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news. Adam West may not have been the most serious or action oriented Batman, but there's no denying he had his own charm that lent itself well to the Caped Crusader. And that's probably why so many of his roles involved parodies of Batman, or were from superhero shows. May he rest in peace.
RIP Old Chum.
Kaio Scott Lost but not forgotten rip Adam west
R.I.P. Adam West (1928 - 2017).
One of my childhood inspirations, you will be missed sincerely.
From Batman to Family Guy, it doesn't matter, he loved what he did.
R.I.P you were a true batman
and a true grey ghost.
Arkham Ty not "a true batman" "the true batman"
Arkham Ty hey was
And a true Adam We.
Amen.
Rest in peace Adam west. We'll never forget you
R.I.P Amen
Ben Claesen Amen.
*Adam We
nobody messes with adam we
ikr I missed hearing his voice in some of the shows he played in even in a video called LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham always in peral
"I guess one person can make a difference. Nuff said."
-Stan Lee
Wrong guy
@@RadioactiveRubberPants he means that any person can make a difference. And Adam West has made a difference.
@@lisettegarcia7013 not only as the 60s Batman.
But also as Adam We.
Austin Robertson As himself XD!
Fr the only good part of spider man 3 rip to Stan lee 😭😥😭😭😭😭😭
RIP Adam West, we'll miss you pal. You were the best Batman
pure west
Adam we*
And he brought both Butch Hartman and Seth MacFarlane together at Hanna-Barbara.
I mainly remember him for being Catman, but I didn't realise how much he was actually involved in my childhood.
R.I.P. Adam We.
People knew him as both Batman and a voice actor, but he will always be an icon that died too soon😢😭
Holy comic book icons Mr West! You'll never be forgotten, we'll always have the memories, my one regret in life is that I never got you to sign anything of mine. Truly a great icon in the history of actors, one of the most recognisable voices R.I.P old chum! You brought us all 73 years of joy! Since that's how long you were in showbiz

Lukimus Prime i sat is wife will replace him and since she's louis sister she'll go power crazy
"So it wasn't all for nothing." No, it wasn't, you've made a great impact.
You can't have a Batman show without one cameo from Adam.
And sadly there shall be no more.
R.I.P Adam West. You will always be the best Batman. 😔
@CaptainKiwi2 No, he isn't. Conroy just does voices. West was a 6'2" guy.
That is the second Family Guy actor to have died in 6 months (after Carrie Fisher). RIP Adam.
Victor Swamps who was the other one?
Carrie Fisher
Victor Swamps Oh yea. but that would be 7 months
She died late December. So wouldn't it be that her death was still six months ago?
Victor Swamps 6 in a half at best
I kind of cries through this. Adam West, you made the saying "Old chum" cool. Rest now Caped Crusader.
Adam, you wickedly unintentionally humerous genius, your history is legendary, your story is known to all, you are an icon amongst Men, for Justice and truth that was only brought by the best, you are the Man to the Bat R.I.P Sir Adam West....
I freaking love Adam west voice

Damn he almost lived a whole century, good run Adam west you'll forever be in the hearts of batsman fans and story tellers on Christmas
First Batgirl and now we lost Batman RIP ADAM WEST
Thomas Dotson What if the last jedi dies?
Thomas Dotson How did batgirl die?
Yvonne Craig died of cancer last year
We lost Eartha Kitt as Catwoman and Carolyn Jones as Queen of Diamonds too. I guess he's reunited with them now.
@@lisettegarcia7013 I hope they're doing well in the heavens.
Rest easy Adam West and Yvonne Craig. You two are in a better place now...
We will never forget you.
Im still saddened of the news of him! God, what a legend he was. RIP, Mayor West
I wish they made a gray ghost spinoff show.
This was shocking to me to see him go since I planned to one day meet him but that one day is a never now, farewell caped crusader
SmashBlaster 1-Up :(
SmashBlaster 1-Up Sorry to hear, old Chum. He was also gonna be at Boston Comic Con.
SmashBlaster 1-Up, same here bro 😔😭
I love that he re-appeared in later Batman shows. RIP Mr. West, you'll be greatly missed.
West may not have been the best Batman but he represented an aspect of Batman that has been lost in modern Batman. Caring.
For all the torment and brooding Batman still cares about the people he protects. Good guy or bad guy.
Didn't he did get batman popular?
He was Batman [period]
that grey ghost episode of btas was a brilliant homage to Adam West. rip caped crusader. you'll always be the batman and the mayor of Quahog
Wait I just realized he was Ace from chicken little WHAT ?!!?
Aldair Reynoso dude he also vioced uncle art from meet the robinsons
Wait seriously?!
Austin Robertson Yes we're serious!
RIP Adam West
Rest in peace Adam. You where a big part of my childhood, and a big impact on my future.
Hm, I'm beginning to notice a pattern here.
He's in heaven with Yvonne Craig, Frank Gorshin, Eartha Kitt, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Rudy Vallee, Lyn Peters, Lesley Gore, Madge Blake, Alan Napier, Stafford Repp, Neil Hamilton, James O'Hara, Victor Buono, David Lewis, Anne Baxter, Vincent Price, Cliff Robertson, Richard Bakalyn, Al Wyatt Sr., Carolyn Jones, Estelle Winwood, Tony Epper, Milton Berle, Jock Mahoney, Louis Quinn, Talluah Bankhead, James Griffith, Tol Avery, Van Williams, Bruce Lee, Julie Gregg, Dina Merrill, Michael Fox, Frank Baron, Howard Duff and more RIP Adam West
I was just playing batman Lego 3 and everything he was in peril. I would attempt to save him, even if I couldn't.
Adam West is the only guy who'd make me watch an entire 20 min video of just voice acting... & have It enjoyable. R.I.P. Old Chum.
R.I.P he was a great batman
It's just terrible that so many amazing actors have passed away in only 1 1/4 years. He was one of the best people I ever knew about, he was wonderful and could fit any role given to him. Adam West will surely be missed.
Holy cow. He did so many voices for different shows. RIP the greatest person ever and also the first Batman. We will never forget you Adam West. :(
I loved his performance in Fairly Odd Parents and Kim Possible. He had so much fun voicing these charaters. :D
Adam West Quote "I didn't Have to yell IM BATMAN!,because when i entered everyone knew who i was."
Excellent video
It's always nice to see him in a role that has nothing to do with Batman. It gave him some more dignity as an actor.
Poor guy. He deserved better.
Carter Heer You do realize that it was his decision to keep playing Batman right? He clearly loved the role.
Shmooltifloop I know. I just like it when he gets recognition for being "Adam West", and not just "the guy who played Batman."
Carter Heer Well he was in plenty of roles that weren't Batman and most people I've seen know him as more than "The Campy Batman". I see what you're saying but we both know that he was happy to be as loved as much as he was.
Carter Heer he was very proud of his batman role and he has done a lot more other work.
Never noticed how many Batman roles and derivatives of Batman in other universes he has voiced.. wow
Man I grew up loving this guy he have shaped and gave joy to my childhood😭😭😭.RIP adam west😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Two great legend left us, the batman Adam west and the king of marvel himself Stan Lee, thank you two for everything and may God have mercy upon both of you
Yeah, he'll be missed. Thanks for doing this tribute.

Not only because we had lost a star,
but because we would never be blessed by his magnificent voice again.
Rest in peace, Adam West
RIP Mayor West, you will be missed as Quahog mourns your legacy
There will never be another hero like him. No matter what super-hero series premieres, it won't be the same without him.

I bet he's doing the Batusi up in heaven as we speak.
Still shocked he's passed away Adam West seemed to have so much energy at his age and didn't show signs of slowing down
I could listen to him for hours and he was so funny
This was long overdue. Good job putting this together, GenerationWest.
“I didn’t need molded plastic to improve my physique. Pure. West.”
He ain’t wrong though
I was first introduced to him when he made a cameo appearance in an episode of johnny bravo.

10:50 When Adam west swears, it feels odd and unnatural... I love it. RIP West, you were great as both the Grey Ghost, and the Lawyer from Boondocks.
When I Think Of Adam West, His Family Guy Counterpart Always Comes To Mind…
6:14
Beware the Gray Ghost was a great episode.
R.I.P. Adam West. You will be missed
R.I.P West.We'll miss you
Damn. His voice sounds like he’s still in his 40’s or so. Can’t believe he was in his 80’s for some of these roles.
R.I.P. A true gentleman...
Fitting how Adam West's final role before his death was Batman.
It ended where it began...

I wonder why Adam west wasn't next to himself in the crossover episode of family guy and the simpsons
Blast Wave Good Point. Adam West was only in 2 or 3 Simpsons episodes, but James Woods was only in one, and the crossover episode featured Simpsons' James Wood talking to Family Guy's James Woods.
BEN 5065 thank you that or it would just be too confusing
