Adam West plays the only Batman that doesn't break the spines of all criminals he meets, isn't brooding half the time, and actually obeys the laws as well as enforcing them. The show also provided a serious show for kids and entertain the parents who had turned on the television for their kid rather than bore them to death. The other actors also elevated the greatness to a new level, with Frank Gorshin's Riddler easily being the best bad guy on the show. The commisioner and o'hara are hilarious in their ineptitude as well.
@@chrissteele1362 I mean, isn't it mentioned somewhere in the series that he and Robin are officially deputized? lol. So technically speaking unlike other Batman's he's within his legal rights to do what he does as well.
@@scottmemelord6130 I just saw a clip of that. They're climbing up a wall, and someone pokes his head out a window, asking if they're there to audition. (I'm sure it was a member of some music group popular at the time.) Batman responds that he and Robin are "duly deputized" officers.
As much as much as I love Batman, I don't like the overly-dark angle he has taken in recent years. I get it, his parents were killed as a kid, it kinda messed him up, but you know what? He has a really unorthodox method of dealing with his pain: BEING BATMAN. Adam West's Batman is my favourite Batman because, yes he acknowledges that it's the murder of his parents that drives him, but unlike nearly every other Batman I've seen, you can tell he gets a strong sense of genuine satisfaction that he's making the world a better place. The pain is there, but he's working through it.
I always felt that Adam West and Christopher Reeve would have made a great farce team. Each of them were so perfect at underplaying and self-awareness, the two would have worked so well together. You can just imagine it, can't you? It's such a shame it never happened, but we'll have our memories.
I always loved hearing Adam West's voice coming out of whatever aninated character he played. Made me smile every time I recognized his voice. Good Ol Adam West lol.
I actually watched Adam West’s Batman growing up (back when they used to show reruns back on TvLand in the early 2000’s). And while there were several versions of Batman made even before I was born I still picked Adam West as my Batman and that remains to this day. Because although it’s older, not as flashy and it’s cheesy as sin it was something both my Dad and myself enjoyed. You see we were both at sort of a disadvantage. We not only had a very wide age gap but I'm also a female so we had vastly different interests and tastes in tv shows. I didn’t like sports, he didn’t like the Nicktoons I liked but we both liked Batman. And just like he did growing up I can say I watched it growing up and if I ever have kids I’ll have them watch Adam West’s Batman first.
Right! I was 7 when West put on the cape and cowl! My grandson's now love this Batman! Batman was like a police officer in tights! Riddler and Catwoman were my favorite villians
"Whilst there have been many actors who've taken on the roll if the World's Greatest Detective, none have retained such a powerful connection to the character as West." *cough*Kevin Conroy*cough*
I always loved the Bright Knight. While I do appreciate the way some writers have since written the Bat (I genuinely think films like The Dark Knight or even Batman ‘89 are among the best ever made) as a dark and mysterious detective, I do dislike the writers’ seeming need to constantly one up each other in making the characters and stories grim and gruesome, the ultimate example of this being “Death Of The Family” in which the Joker has his face cut off and he proceeds to wear it as a mask. People forget that Batman does have this silly undertone. I mean, you can only take a rich guy who dresses up as a Bat to punch muggers in the face so seriously. Plus, West always provided this dead pan nature to Batman. He always played it straight. He never winked at the camera like George Clooney. He treated it as though it were Shakespeare. And he never gave a dull or phoned in performance as Batman in all 120 episodes of the show, which I can’t quite say the same for every actor who has donned the cape and cowl. He will forever go down in history as the Batman who acknowledged proper sleeping routines, followed road safety laws and was officially deputised as an Officer by Commissioner Gordon. The Batman who danced the Batusi and could hit people so hard, sound effects appeared on the screen. Personally, I feel he may be the most iconic Batman, at least near the same level as Micheal Keaton and Kevin Conroy. Perhaps one day another actor will join them, but I feel these three have set the standard of Batman for decades to come, even when others like Val Kilmer, George Clooney or even possibly Bale or Affleck have been relegated to obscurity.
I stood in line with Adam at Pinks about thirty years ago. Nice, genuine fellow. Wonderfully friendly and conversant. We both ordered the bacon chili cheese dog and iced tea........................
As a kid, I just saw the action with the words blasting the screen. As an adult, I finally saw the funny witty tongue-in-cheek quips that made me laugh out loud for their comedic timing.
I’m 16 And I remember watching the 60s show with my dad Adam is my Batman, he’s going to save the day Also lego Batman 3 West was amazing, I’m sad I never got to meet him and tell him how much he influenced me. R.I.P you legend, nearly 5 years since his passing, and I still think about him
I've rewatched it as a grown man and teared up a little, it's an incredibly moving episode for a supposedly made for kids tv show, and West voicing the character added a whole new layer of depth in the story. It's kind of poetic actually.
Me and my dad used to watch this show everyday when I got home from school. It was one of his favourite shows growing up and because of the magic of reruns he was able to enjoy it all again with me. This show is genuinely one of the cheesiest goofy iterations of any character ever and I love it. It's so funny yet also so endearing. I'm still charmed by it today. And it's a nice way to remember my dad, because he was a lot like this show. Absolutely bonkers, with an abundance of heart.
You mentioned Stan Lee cameos not calling attention to themselves. You forgot about the cameo in Rise of the Silver Surfer where he tries to enter the wedding and says his name is “Stan Lee” over and over again.
I wish I could have met Adam West at a con. I wouldn't have asked him any Batman related questions, (I wouldn't even ask for an autograph even though I would buy something that's at his table just out of courtesy obviously), but just talk with the guy, buy him a beer or something. You seem like a legit cool guy to hang. I know my uncle Tracy would have loved to have asked him so many Batman related questions like myself
If West has a predecessor in this phenomenon it would be Vincent Price, who was already playing "Vincent Price" by the time he was guest-starring on West's tv show.
Damn while watching this I just got teared up alil 😢 but this was 100% an amazing video dude! & I love seeing that Adam wests career was appreciated n loved by so many it really fills that empty place in my heart that iv had since he's been gone #R.I.P-Adam-West
8:54 the only time I can think of Family Guy connecting Adam West to Batman was an early, pre-cancellation episode where Adam attacks Peter in his office before apologizing and saying he thought Peter was "the district attorney", a subtle reference to Two-Face.
As a teen I thought Adam West’s batman was dated and stupid and did batman all wrong. I then went to watch the movie then as a joke thinking it’d be so good it’s bad. Christ I proved myself wrong! Turns out it’s genuinely hilarious and is probably the best ages series from the 60s as it’s still hilarious as it was always intended today. The jokes and his performance are fantastic in a way people don’t understand unless they watch it.
@@scottmemelord6130 yes I know u should watch the documentary on the making of the show the creator read those comics and thought “this is ridiculous”. So he made it ridiculous
@@LibertyBridgeProductionsHave you seen the animated film 'The Return of The Cape Crusader' ? It's an modern adaptation of West's Batman and the man himself does the voicing, it was one of his last works before passing away, if i'm not mistaken, and it's a blast, it totally nailed the 60s Batman vibes. You won't regret watching it if you enjoyed the original 66 movie.
Shatner approaches West in this regard -- as a self-parodist -- but it took him a long time to get comfortable with that. I suppose it took West a long time, now that I think about it.
That explanation of the difference between West and Keaton was very wishy washy. In both cases, it’s an actor turning to a very meta approach essentially playing themselves after they were typecast in a high profile role. I wouldn’t say Adam West JUST did it as “a way to poke fun at himself.” He was fine with laughing at himself and never did take himself too seriously, but this was his livelihood and he was doing the best he could to relaunch his acting career too. It was business. Let’s not forget that West was wanted for playing Thomas Wayne in Tim Burton’s Batman movie, but he felt betrayed that he wasn’t considered for Batman anymore. If you don’t really know the history that sounds hilarious and absurd - him thinking as an old man he could play an ‘80s Tim Burton Batman, but when you realize what all Adam West gave the Batman character (who was on the verge of cancellation before Bat-Mania) and yet West himself turned out to be utterly disposable and easily replaced by new blood and considered obsolete even though he probably saw himself as still having many years of talent left in him to give the world, it had to be sad for him then... But it’s okay for Keaton and West to have found similar strategies for getting by after the industry considered them old and obsolete. It doesn’t make West any less special. In fact, I’d say Keaton was very aware of West’s successful reinvention of himself when he made Birdman, and probably knew he was standing on the shoulders of giants
It's Really Sad That Adam West Was Never Recognized As a Talented-Actor. He Wrote a Screenplay It Was About a Boy Who Was Autistic For 14-Years He Finally Learns To Speak The Story Was About What His Life Is Like Afterwards. It Was Never Made Sadly.
Adam West was a great Batman , I could care less for his Batman character not being dark, i guess both variations work unless you can top it off like OG Adam West, if it can work in the comics then it can work on live action, 1940's to 1960s in Comics batman was hardly serious we did not get the character serious till 1970's
The fact that Shatner did the voice of Harvey Dent alongside West as Batman in the Cartoon film Batman vs Two Faces made me happy, he nailed the part and he was in his mid 80s already.
A true legend and the reason we still have batman today cause where u was wrong was his batman was the batman of the comics cause that's how jokey the characters had to become to get passed the comic book code of authority his show and movie was made without the backing of dc comics but did get the seal of approval by batman creator bob Kane and I type this with tears in my eyes cause of how much Adam west means to me
Adam West va a quedar en la historia de la television como el unico y mejor Batman de todos los tiempos por eso podran ver mi logo la imagen de aquella inolvidable serie hoy en dia tengo en DVD la serie completa de 101 capitulos
It's a shame Adam West got typecast and didn't get more work. But on the other hand.. if he had gotten more work... we may not have had the genius Adam West we got. The only other person I can think of that has capitalized on their previous fame like this is William Shatner.
@@fernandomaron87 yeah but he's not really famous for being Ralph Machio. There's Betty White who got to be a pop culture icon, Adam West, and William Shatner. All pretty much famous for being themselves. They transcended the characters they played.
This one got super slept on. Really insightful on a subject that I otherwise wouldn't have given much thought to. Great stuff!
His version of Batman doesn't get enough credit because that character geniuinely was the upright role model for the children but as an adult, you can hear all the multiple layered lines and tone of voice. It is sincerity and irony in a perfect harmony.
I totally agree with everyword of this
West is a master of comic vocal delivery; I can’t not laugh when I hear his voice. Lookwell was hilarious.
Adam West plays the only Batman that doesn't break the spines of all criminals he meets, isn't brooding half the time, and actually obeys the laws as well as enforcing them. The show also provided a serious show for kids and entertain the parents who had turned on the television for their kid rather than bore them to death. The other actors also elevated the greatness to a new level, with Frank Gorshin's Riddler easily being the best bad guy on the show. The commisioner and o'hara are hilarious in their ineptitude as well.
Well said! Batman was a police officer in tights, cape and cowl! Loved it as a kid and adult!
He's also the only Batman who could arrest criminals. Also, the only one with shark repelent.
@@chrissteele1362 I mean, isn't it mentioned somewhere in the series that he and Robin are officially deputized? lol.

Great idea! They would have made a great duo fighting crime!
_Superman and the Batman: Finest Tales_ would be a good title for a comic book series featuring BatWest and SuperReeves.
And Lynda Carter
So, Adam West successfully became a living meme. Respect.
Well umm "living"

The best thing about Keaton's "Birdman" is that _after_ that movie he starred in a Spider-Man movie as the villian "Vulture". A real birdman.
Vulture is not a real birdman but kinda, because marvel is actually have a character named birdman, so vulture Cannot be considered as a real birdman

For the Canadian equivalent, see William Shatner.
Except Adam West wasn't an asshole.
I can't believe you've made such a good video on one of my favourite actors, & favourite Batman

Not even half way through the video and I've already heard "Adam West as ...well, Adam West" way too many times
Another amazing vid :D
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed!
Stan lee wasn’t in homecoming. I was deeply disappointed.
This show laid show much groundwork ESPECIALLY the villains. Caesar Romero is so underrated as Joker.
One of the great Shatnerian actors ever to grace stage or screen.

what is the song at 2:50 ?
i miss him
In my opinion Adam West his Batman is the perfect example of the Batman from the comic book Silver age.
You forgot he was the “Grey Ghost” in Batman the animated series!
At around 6:50 there is a clip from The Grey Ghost
Why doesn’t batman dance anymore?
5:05 What about Kevin Conroy?
The problem with this is that Adam West didn't have a glass when he played Batman for the thirteenth time.
The guy that played ronin lives in my town my sister met him
I thought you were actually talking about the family guy character tho
The sign-off should have been, "Tune in next week, same Fat time, same Fat channel."
Wasnt Adam Wests Batman the closest portrayal of the comics?
He sure did some cool stuff
nopp.
This was in the same month his death turned a year old, and months before he would have turned 90 years old.
Beautiful work. Subbed and liked.
10:00 what show/movie is that?
It's a sitcom called powerless
The original comic series wasn’t camp though it was dark, the campiness came later driven mainly by comic book standards.
Love the videos!
"...limited range as an actor"!? Blasphemy! LOL I thought he made a great D.B. Cooper in News Radio.
Adam is the best Batman !
West is hilarious in the tv show of George Lopez where he plays a lawyer
The Adam West batman is the best batman. It’s unnecessarily funny

so... it's up to Keaton to take the role of our earths batman now..... old batman... batman beyond

So right! Love Batman and Catwoman episodes!
