West’s signature voice would also appear in two other Batman series, The Batman and Batman:The Brave and the Bold (where he would voice Batman’s father).
Following his first turn as Batman, West would go on to appear in a number of other TV shows and films, including The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and Family Guy (where he voiced a version of himself).
In 1965, West appeared as a James Bond-esque character, Captain Q, in a commercial for Nestlé Quik, which prompted his hiring as the caped crusader in the Batman TV series.
Adam West passed away peacefully last night after a short but brave battle with leukemia.
