I didn't know that he was still alive, to be honest. RIP.

You must be one of the few people below the age of 40 that does not watch Family Guy.

Not to mention two (one upcoming) animated Batman movies based on the 1960's series. Staring his voice.

Even when it's someone who's lived a long, full life, it's sad to see them go. Few actors could understand the absurdist humor behind both the Batman series and his role as the Quahog mayor (named Adam West lol) and deliver perfectly, especially considering he was in his 70's when he took on that second role.

If he hadn't been typecast following Batman we'd probably have more funny material from him, though thankfully over the last few years he's finally gotten his due attention. He'll certainly be missed.



He will always be the best mayor of Quahog. Will truly miss his work.



Wait, this is the guy who voices Adam West in family guy? Damn...

 

RIP



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I loved that version o batman.

May you rest in peace Adam West.You deserve it



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

You have never heard of Family Guy or Batman?

 

Well his version of Batman is really bad by todays standards, so be happy you missed it. Still a classic, but just hard to watch.

Of course I know who Batman is, but I've never heard about this series. I know that Family Guy is a cartoon, but I've never seen it and I have no idea what it is about.

How is this even possible?

Considering the show went off the air like 20 years ago, I don't think anyone has watched it in quite some time.

It's still on the air.

I am below 40. 33 to be exactly. I love family guy. I have watched also with my brother the old batman series where the rooms were always a little turned to the side. 

But i was a child. Why do we have to know every step of adam west? Last time i saw him on BigBang.

Yeah, I looked it up. It got canceled 2002, but then came back on in 2005. I guess I just never heard about it coming back on. Also, it's more recent than I thought it was. I thought the show was older than that.

Either way, not everyone under 40 watches it.  It's a kids show, I would say few over 14 or 15 watch it. Most people are likely not even aware it is still on TV.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

You clearly have no idea about what Family Guy is. It's as much a kid's show as the Simpsons was, in other words, it's more geared to the (young) adult demographic, and is still hugely popular in the US and many European countries.

Adam West was brilliant, may he rest in peace.
