Whether you know him as the caped crusader, or the mayor from family guy or having a trope named after him, he had a pretty cool and unique career.

The guy leaves behind an unforgettable legacy. And he kind of had a resurgence in his career, long after he probably thought it was over after Batman. Not many actors can say that late in their life.

fuck the world
I'll also remember him from Robinson Crusoe on Mars, which is a fantastic 60's-era sci-fi retelling of the classic tale and one of the few good ones of the early 60's that did not involve Irwin Allen.

Like @ThatNickGuy said, he enjoyed a rare resurchance to his career. He will be missed greatly
When I was 5 years old, it was 1990 and I was in love with the Michael Keaton Batman movie. I loved everything about Batman, and somehow got it into my head that I should send Michael Keaton a letter to thank him for being Batman. So my mom helped me write it, and found the address to send fan mail, and also at this time showed me the Adam West series that she used to watch. I loved that too, so we sent Adam West a letter too.
Michael Keaton never responded, but Adam West did, with a very nice hand written letter inviting me to be a junior detective and be a good citizen, as well as a few goodies like stickers and stuff that I don't completely remember.

That's an amazing story Poe, any chance you still have the letter? I'd love to see it
I now have zero reason to watch a new Family Guy episode. Rest in peace caped crusader.
I am about to tie a towel around my neck and run and sing, " nana nana nana Matman!" Like I am 6 again...
That nickname followed me for forty years.

When I was 4 and 5, my dad would get home late from his second job, eat dinner, then he and I would go downstairs and watch whichever Batman reruns were on that night. Though I later started to look down on the Adam West show when I started watching Batman TAS a couple years later, having gotten older I appreciate that Adam West and Burt award introduced me to Batman in the first place.
He'll be missed.
He'll be missed.
Sadly no, not anymore.
I think I like him because I put him in the same category as William Shatner, except without all the "I'm so awesome I will even let you touch my ego" that Shatner brings.
And that's terrible.

I read that he already finished recording his lines.
Seemed like an interesting fellow. RIP my first avatar of Batman.
Damn, I just realized the lady at the bar is the same lady that played Tiffany Case from the 007 Diamonds Are Forever.
