In conclusion, a lot of fun and perfect to go with the classic TV series, not as good but worthy. Perhaps unfair yet understandable, whereas Gorshin and Meredith are definitive in my opinion when it comes to Romero while I love him he is my least favourite Joker of the four(counting Hamill). Adam West (born Septemin Walla Walla, Washington - Jin Los Angeles, California) was an American actor, most widely known as televisions first (and some would still argue, best) Batman/Bruce Wayne from the 1960s Batman adventure/comedy series.

Romero is the least exceptional of the four for me, he is still great but Joker is written and used better in the series meaning he was rather underused compared to the likes of Penguin and I also think he suffers from constant comparisons with Nicholson, Ledger and Hamill(if he counts).

Frank Gorshin, Cesar Romero and especially Burgess Meredith show their successors how to play Riddler, Joker and Penguin, and all of them are great fun and this is one of a couple of times when the use of more than one villain works.

Usually, he is seen as the Batman parody alter-ego 'Catman', although he has appeared sometimes as a normal person animated in the style of the Fairly OddParents. Lee Merriweather is a very slinky Catwoman and that suit really suits her, and she is further advantaged by some fun lines and good delivery of them, also a fun and affecting chemistry with West. Adam West in The Batman Some people decided to make a video splicing Adam West into footage from the Robert Pattinson Batman. Knitwits (while inside the Catman suit) Voiced by: Himself (Seasons 4-6) Jeff Bennett (Seasons 9-10) Adam West, until season 9, voiced a caricature of himself in The Fairly OddParents. Alan Napier is a perfect Alfred, and Neil Hamilton is a hoot. Burt Ward is good enough, he is better in the series though, with some annoying/funny catchphrases and an easy-going chemistry with West. Adam West is a lot of fun, and does deserve some credit for making some of the cheesiest dialogue at least credible with a sly and deadpan delivery. The performances are very enjoyable and the characters are still fun. The direction is good and the effects and action are decent enough too. The dialogue is very cheesy, but that's part of the fun for me, and the gags are the sort of gleefully enjoyable throwaway ones that Schumacher's Batman and Robin could have dreamed of(I can't think of shark repellent without laughing uncontrollably now, and the "some days you can't just get rid of a bomb" line is one of the truest yet funniest lines I have heard in a film in recent memory). Also the music is great fun to listen to, the score is very driven especially. However what does compensate a lot are some nice photography, colourful costumes, good scenery and a well-realised Gotham City. The pace does slacken a tad towards the end though it is quite fast and brisk up to then and the plot is quite thin and rather silly. This film is equally camp, but like the series it is also colourful and very enjoyable with great characters to drive it. It is camp, but it is also colourful and fun, and actually the campiness actually works in its favour. West married his third wife Marcelle Tagand Lear and remained married up until West’s death in 2017.Just to say, I am a fan of the 1966 series. He did eventually settle down, though, and left the Swinging Sixties behind him. Adam West / YouTube Screenshotīy the time West was cast as Batman, he had already been married and divorced twice. He also dated sisters Natalie Wood and Lana Wood. While West slept with a lot of random groupies during his time, he also had some well-known Hollywood stars on his arm. According to Groovy History, West went on to introduce him to the “ wildest sexual debauchery that you can imagine.” One thing leads to another, and soon both West and Ward were using their dressing rooms as ‘quickie’ areas between filming scenes. He was just 20 years old and had only been on a few dates when West introduced him to the new lifestyle. The folks at Corridor have taken old footage from the 1960s Batman television show specifically, Adam West’s campy Caped Crusader and digitally added it to The Batman, replacing Robert. However, Ward wasn’t always a sex-crazed ladies man. He helped introduce Burt Ward to the lifestyle as well
