On the night of June 15th, Los Angeles did a very touching tribute dedicated to the legendary 60's Batman TV Show star Adam West, who passed away last weekend after a long battle with leukemia. The actor was loved by millions of fans worldwide, and so as a fitting commemoration for his time as the Caped Crusader and his charitable works outside of the cape and cowl, L.A and his family and peers like his co-star Burt Ward, aka Robin the Boy Wonder, stood at the steps City Hall to welcome a shining Bat-Signal in the sky, which lit up just after the event began at 9:00 PM.

Via YouTube user "Inside The Magic", check out the full commemoration to one hero and Hollywood star fans will not forget.

R.I.P Adam West - Batman 1966 star passes away at 88


He was known to a generation as "Batman" of the 1960's TV Series, but he was also an actor of many talents... And now he has joined our creator in the heavens after a long battle with Leukemia. Legendary American actor Adam West passes away at the age of 88, leaving many Batfans devastated and a lot of friends and admirers honoring his legacy by paying tribute to the iconic campy Caped Crusader who entertained millions by fighting crime for justice and peace.


The Best of 1966 Batman/Bruce Wayne

For his many accolades in film and television, Adam West was best known for his portrayal of Bruce Wayne/ Batman in the hit ABC "Batman" series of 1966 and its theatrical film feature follow-up. Embracing his typecasting, he went on to voice the Caped Crusader and play him throughout several features through the years - including a returning animated movie stint in "Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders" which reunited him with his sidekick Robin played by Burt Ward. West would also voice Simon Trent/ The Grey Ghost in the hit 1992 "Batman: The Animated Series" - a character that spoofed and honored his portrayal of Batman and was the inspiration/ hero of Kevin Conroy's Dark Knight.

As the world mourns and pay tributes including myself, the men who played Batman, and even DC Comics, we all give something to remember a man who is and will forever be Batman in our hearts. R.I.P Adam West, and thank you.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders: Blu-Ray Home Video cover and synopsis revealed


HOLY CLASSIC COVERS BATMAN~! Following the reveal of the very first teaser trailer for the upcoming animated film, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have revealed the cover and synopsis to "Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders" - which features Adam West and Burt Ward back to voicing Batman and Robin!


Here's the official synopsis (as seen in CosmicBookNews): "It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. This time, the four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray..Holy Multiplication Tables!"

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be released digitally on Oct. 11 and on Blu-Ray on Nov. 1/
