I was just about to post this. Rest in peace, Mr. West v..vSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyNot trying to seem like a jerk, but there'll be an influx of Batfan artwork because of this
God dammit this is horrible. He will be missed.Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyAlso we may have to do a thread merger.
Yup, it's raining a lot where i'm coming from. He truly lived a grand life, to die surrounded by family... RIP Caped Crusader.
I'm sad that he's gone, but I'm so happy he lived such a full life. Especially to have such a resurgence at the end of it where he got the appreciation he deserved.Rest in peace, old chum.
R.I.P. BatmanI don't care what other think; the campy version of Batman has its own charms that makes it just as good as the mainline. Not every version of Batman must be grim and dark to be good.
Damn. With this I make a bet the Joker is crying now.Rest in Peace you funny cape Crusader. May the Angels do the Batsui in heaven now....
Well that's pretty saddening I must admit.Atleast he died in peace with family at 88 good luck wherever you are Adam West. You will never be forgotten.
