Adam West, the actor behind one of the most beloved and enduring renditions of Batman, died Friday night at age 88. West donned the black mask of the Caped Crusader in the 1960s, playing the role oakley polo as a plucky, intrepid hero for television. "Adam West passed away peacefully last night after a short but brave battle with leukemia," his family writes in a Facebook post. "He was a beloved father, husband, grandfather, and great grandfather. There are no words to describe how much we'll miss him." Our beloved AW passed away last night. He was the greatest. We miss him like crazy. The TV series West led, which ran from 1966 to 1968, filled the small screen with "pop art sensibility, vibrant colors and rogue's gallery of playful guest stars," Fresh Air critic David Bianculli said in 2014. Despite this revolving door of big personalities, it was West's bright spin on the Dark Knight that came to be synonymous with the series. The show and its 1966 film adaptation managed a distinctive "tonal jiu jitsu: high silliness executed with grave seriousness," NPR's Glen Weldon wrote last year. Of course, West eventually dropped the cape of that intrepid hero, starring in dozens of films and eventually reinventing himself as a voice actor perhaps known best for his recurring role as the mayor (also named Adam West) on Family Guy. But he never quite got out of Batman's long shadow, both for better and for worse. West shared a complicated relationship with his signature character. "There was a time when Batman really oakley polarized sunglasses for men kept me from getting some pretty good roles, and I was asked to do what I figured were important features. However, Batman was there, and very few people would take a chance on me walking on to the screen," West once told Variety. "So I decided that since so many people love Batman, I might as well love it too. Why not? So I began to re engage myself with Batman. And I saw the comedy. I saw the love people had for it, and I just embraced it."
