Actor Adam West, famous for his straight-faced portrayal of the Caped Crusader in the 1960s “Batman” TV series, has died at 88, his family said Saturday on social media. West died Friday night “after a short but brave battle with leukemia,” the family statement on Facebook said. “He was bright, witty and fun to work with,” Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman to West’s Batman, said in a statement Saturday. He graduated from Whitman College, a private liberal arts school, in Walla Walla. Most recently he did the voice of nutty Mayor Adam West in the long-running “Family Guy” series.
