Quotable Quotes:

"[on his typecasting as The Caped Crusader] It was inescapable. I'd just about land something substantial, something I like or a good career move. Then some dinosaur would rear up and say, "But the audience will think of him as Batman." It was formidable. It was there like a brick wall." (IMDB)

"Adam West was a successful actor known mostly for his American TV role as Batman, who sadly passed away after battling leukemia for a number of years. (V)"
