DC Entertainment released the following Saturday afternoon in remembrance of Adam West, who passed away early Saturday.
Adam West's portrayal of Batman was a huge contribution to the Caped Crusader's status as a true pop culture icon. His work helped bring comic books
into the mainstream, and encouraged a generation to discover the wonderful stories and characters that made up Batman's world through the pages of comic books like Batman and Detective Comics."Like many others, Adam West as Batman was part of my childhood," said Geoff Johns, President & Chief Creative Officer, DC Entertainment. "Watching those reruns every day after school, Batman made reading comics that much more real for me growing up."
"Batman's popularity will be forever linked with Adam West," said Jim Lee, Publisher, DC Entertainment. "He brought joy to legions of fans around the world and was the gateway for many of them to discover or in some cases rediscover their love of comic books. He'll be deeply missed."
