RIP Mr. West

[ToyMachine78]

Another icon lost

[GaijinD]

I had no idea he'd been sick. Definitely a shame. I loved watching reruns of Batman when I was a kid.

RIP sir

[crazydean]

He was well before my time, but I still love watching the old Batman show. So many good (random) villains like Egghead (Vincent Price). And the fucking puns! All the puns! He has also had some of the best cameos on movies and TV shows.

[esteban]

Damn. I watched Batman everyday when I was a kid.

Damn.

I'll be doing my Adam West impression for the next hour or so in tribute.

Let me check....

UPDATE: Ok, it appears that you *attempted* an Adam West impression in *every single episode* of GameBump.

Goodnight, Mayor West. 

He seemed like a genuinely fun guy, totally willing to laugh at himself and make the best of whatever his career brought him.

agree 100%. his self-awarenes was inspirational.

I was just talking about his the other today:

The best homage to Batman & Robin (60's series) was Spongebob's MermaidMan and BarnacleBoy.

This is not open for debate.

No, just for outright rejection.
The actual best homage is that Campy radioactive man show.

A noble attempt, but not even a contender.



Awww, the MermaidMan and Barnacle Boy segments were ongoing and really developed into something special. It was parody homage with a genuine heart.

I *care* about MermaidMan and BarnacleBoy.

I don't feel that way about most humans, let alone cartoon characters spoofing Batman.

Show me a spoof where you actually care about the characters.

(This will be very difficult, because the Spongebob stuff is actually charming, dammit!)

Damn sad after this one.  Grew up enjoying much of Mr. West's work.  Hope his family and friends are moving forward during this tough time.

[Dicer]

All our campy gentlemen are dying off :/

[SignOfZeta]

Guys, he was 88. He lived through the depression and WWII. He had two or three careers. He entertained milions. What's sad about that?

When Nintega dies, or Roy Vegas, or everyone with more than 80 posts on Nintendoage, (Nintendotage?) now *that* will be sad.

So until then, shut the fuck up and watch this:

Written by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. It's great
