    Watching Batman as first aired when I was a kid, I had no idea the the guest villains were famous actors in their own right.

    Worked with Adam West in 1988 on a film called, "Omega Cop" he was on set for 3 days and was such a hoot to be around. He was kind to everyone, patient and joked it up on the set. Which made working those days all the more fun! Miss you Adam.

    When I was a child growing up Adam West was and will always be the "Batman" for me. I grew up watching the 1966 1967 Batman tv series twice a week, part one on Weds. and part two on Thurs. 7:PM to 7:30PM on WABC channel 7 here in NYC. And to this day whenever I watch the show I still enjoy it very much.

    This is a terrific interview. Adam West's wit and humor come through (15:15 - one of the funniest comments in any interview and very Batman of him). He didn't get to it, but Adam West was "rock star" popular in Japan.

    Batman has always been my favorite show. As a kid I didn't see anything funny about it, to me he was so serious. Once as a kid I got in trouble for something, and my mom told me I couldn't watch Batman for a week, (it was on everyday at this time) and I could have just died. Adam West was the best

    13:37. Adam mentions Burgess Merideth, who played the villain, The Penguin. I can still hear The Penguin's evil laugh, "Hu-whe, hu-whe, hu-whe!". I think that's how you'd spell an evil laugh.

    I wonder if he is purposely overstating the artistic direction in Batman on purpose - to have fun with the audience. He is being what he claims that Batman was. It seems all tongue-in-cheek.
