ADVERTISEMENTLongtime actor Adam West died Friday night, June 9, at the age of 88. The West family also tweeted from his account:Our beloved AW passed away last night. “Adam West” seemed to be immortal no matter what medical catastrophe came his way. West’s “Batman” is now remembered as being comically over-the-top, as he was in relatively low-budget action sequences and often uttered cringe-inducing dialogue. It wasn’t until 1959 ― when West moved his then wife and two children to Hollywood, California ― that he took the stage name Adam West, adapted from his given name, William West Anderson.
