Remembering Adam Wests Animated Batman Roles. Start Slideshow Today superhero fans said goodbye to a legend as the news broke that Adam West, the star of the 1. Batman television series, succumbed to leukemia at the age of 8. Batman ran on television for three seasons from 1. Adam Wests relationship with the character of Batman did not end when the show did. Though West never made an appearance in a live action Batman movie, he continued to return to the franchise several times over the decades in its various animated incarnations. Approximately ten years after the live action television series, West helped Batman make his Saturday morning cartoons debut in The New Adventures of Batman. The series was short lived, but West eventually took over the role of Batman from Olan Soule in the final two season of Super Friend. West was considered for the role of Thomas Wayne in Tim Burtons first Batman movie, but ultimately didnt get the role. However, Batman The Animated Series, which was launched from the momentum of the Burton helmed film franchise, honored West with the episode The Gray Ghost, in which West voiced a television hero quite similar to his own live action Batman whom the animated Bruce Wayne idolized as a child. When another Batman cartoon, titled The Batman, launched, West took on the role of Marion Grange, the Mayor of Gotham City. He played Bruce Waynes father, Thomas Wayne, in another symbolic guest role in The Brave and the Bold, a cartoon that was heavily inspired by Wests Bright Knight interpretation of Batman. Though The Brave and the Bold may have been inspired by Wests Batman television series, the show was practically reborn in the 2. Batman Return of the Caped Crusaders, which saw West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar reprise their live action roles. Keep reading to learn more about Adam Wests many animated Batman appearances.
