Many pretenders have followed, but there is only one Batman!
I was checking out some stuff on YouTube this weekend and came across a great tune from 1989, by renowned raconteur, Wally Wingert.
I recall how the anticipation for the upcoming Batman film was tempered by concern by fans of the 1966 tv series (like me). In the end, the Batman film was a huge hit that spawned several sequels, but it just didn’t capture the escapist fun of the original tv series.
To me, there will always be just one Batman, and that is of course the legendary Adam West. And the sentiment is shared by Wally Wingert in his classic song. ‘Adam West.’ I enjoyed the video immensely and decided to share both versions of the tune!

Indeed, there is no one like the great Adam West! And this video is perfect for dancing the Batusi!

Batman a la West has been one of my role models, and the series is one of my all-time favorites!
Would you believe in high school I was voted most likely to become a villain on the Batman TV series? I always considered that a compliment!

Thelma,
Adam West RULES! I have seen every episode many times and I love it, too! It was a staple of after school tv watching for me also, and no doubt will continue that tradition forever!

Vinnie, when my son was 1 or 2 years old, there was a Batman marathon on TV and I taped as many as I could so he could watch them when he got older.
