This sucks. Loved the show in syndication as a kid. Got to see him and Burt Ward at a con a few years ago. RIP Mr. West.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane wrote several episodes of the cartoon series Johnny Bravo. West played a similarly intense and eccentric rendition of himself in an episode written by MacFarlane, "Johnny Meets Adam West!", first broadcast in December 1997.[5] In the episode, West's fictionalized persona displays similar deluded characteristics to the later Family Guy character, such as believing a race of megalomaniac mole-people live under a local golf course. However, he dressed formally and behaved slightly similarly to his character in the 1960s series of Batman. MacFarlane found West's character and performance in Johnny Bravo so funny that he created a similar character for Family Guy.
i for one would hate to go out peacefully and surrounded by my loved ones.
"When I entered BATMAN as a naive 20-year-old who had only dated a couple of girls, I met Adam West, who immediately introduced me to the wildest sexual debauchery that you can imagine. Within a few months we were like two hungry sharks in a world of unlimited halibut. (laughter). Maybe I'm a little too harsh on Adam. Actually, to be more descriptive, he was more like a killer whale in a world of plankton. Together we had this wild time. Of course, remember, then was the 60s .... people did know about. The people on the show. I mean when you come into the set at 7:30 in the morning and you come out of make-up and the first thing you know, the ladies start coming into our dressing rooms at 7:45. We're talking about wild times in the dressing rooms, on the set, between the shots, in the lunch wagon. When we got home at night after fourteen hours on the set, I think we redefined the meaning of the word pleasure pad. And then of course, doing the personal appearances on the weekend, that's where it really got wild. And I have to be honest with you, we became like sexual vampires. On our show, I must tell you, it was...the 60s was a period of time when everything was free love. People made love to each other. It was a very open life, you know? So it wasn't as though we were out soliciting or anything. We were the ones being chased. But I must tell you, in today's world, which is really a sad reflection of our time, with the horrors and the scourge of Aids and God only knows what else is lurking out there, that in this time it seems like about the only safe sex is to read a book!"

http://www.cbr.com/adam-west-completed-batman-vs-two-face/Adam West reprised his iconic role as the Bright Knight last fall with Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, a direct-to-video animated feature that earned a sequel even before its wide release. But with the death last week of West at age 88, questions surrounded the future of the follow-up, Batman vs. Two-Face.
However, 13th Dimension reports confirmation from Warner Bros. that West had completed voice work for the sequel by the time of his death. No additional details, such as a release date, were provided, but it’s likely more information could be announced next month at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
West was joined in Return of the Caped Crusaders by his Batman co-stars Burt Ward and Julie Newmar in an animated adventure that pitted the Dynamic Duo against Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. William Shatner will voice Harvey Dent in the sequel.
If any members are in the LA area, you have to look up and let us know if you see the signal tonight.
