The star of ABC’s Batman Adam West has died at the age of 88. Adam has been battling with leukemia confirmed by his reps.
His other Disney credits include:
- Jake and the Never Land Pirates (TV Series) – Wise Old Parrot
- Meet the Robinsons – Uncle Art
- Chicken Little: Ace in Action – Ace
- Kim Possible (TV Series) – Timothy North / Fearless Ferret
Adam’s family released the following statement:
Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight, and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero.
Burt Ward, who played Robin to West’s Batman in the 1960s TV series, gave the following statement to Variety:
I am devastated at the loss of one my very dearest friends. Adam and I had a special friendship for more than 50 years. We shared some of the most fun times of our lives together. Our families have deep love and respect for each other. This is a terribly unexpected loss of my lifelong friend. I will forever miss him. There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films. In my eyes, there was only one real Batman that is and always will be Adam West. He was truly the Bright Knight.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
