From Batman in the 60s to Mayor West in Family guy, great sense of humour. So sad. RIP.

The original and the best, with great humour.
Robin: "They have a machine gun Batman"
Batman: "They've used all the bullets Robin"
Robin: "Holy broken bones Batman, how do you know?"
Batman: "I counted them of course." :D

How can you (nearly) connect Adam West with Burnley FC?

It's a bit obscure!

The old Batman series was always done with tongue firmly implanted in cheek.

It had a much higher budget than most TV series, which is why it was cancelled so soon.

OK it was obscure: quote from Wiki:

West was considered to play Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father, in Tim Burton's Batman. Thomas Wayne - Wayne Thomas! Oh well.

Don't forget Jack Nicholson"s Joker. Superb. "Wait until he gets a load of me."
