Batman page 2 by ric Gustafson
From 1966 to 1968, actor Adam West was Batman. Today the 87 year old with salty gray hair still has the charisma. West's original name was William West Anderson. West was doing commercials when ABC and Fox noticed him. He tested with Sparky Gervis who became Burt Ward. He felt embarrassment and trepidation at first with the Batman costume. West enjoyed the Bat boat and the Bat cycle. West's favorite villains were the Riddler and the Penguin. Batman's foes included Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. David Wayne as the Mad Hatter. Otto Preminger as Mr Freeze. Vincent Price played Egghead. Cesar Romero played the Joker. Burgess Meredith played the Penguin.
