Batman Adam West Dies

It is with great sadness that I write this post dedicated to Adam West, the real and original and very best Batman. I grew up watching Batman and Robin on TV after school and was captivated by his bravery, handsomeness, ability to escape every problem and of course, the Batmobile. 

The CNN news today reports that:  

Adam West, star of the popular and campy 1960s "Batman" TV show, died Friday night after "a short but brave battle with leukemia," his family said in a statement. He was 88. In a signature role, West played Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, the crime-fighting, costumed Batman, a popular comics character who came to life on the ABC-TV series. The show, with a catchy theme song earned a cult following.

I always hoped one day I would somehow meet this man. He was my hero. Thanks for making me always believe in superheroes. Boom Crash Kapow Batman, I miss you already.
