Adam West was the Batman we needed — earnest, committed, not afraid to risk his life or his dignity when defending civilization — but not the Batman we deserved. He played a comedic part in an often silly* show, and it typecast him for the rest of his life; but he bore up under it well, and I have heard nary an unkind word about the man. And Adam West passed peacefully at the age of 88, with his family about him; which is not a bad ending to it.  My prayers and condolences to his family and loved ones.
