Hello old chums, I'm TV's Adam West. [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy|You may recognize me]] as the 1960s ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]''. Once upon a time, I was considered a serious leading man. However I couldn't get serious work after ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]'' ended. I am currently known for [[Actor Allusion|portraying eccentric versions of myself]]. I embraced it and even have [[Adam Westing|a trope named after me]]. Almost every role I've had since is either a parody of Batman the goofy superhero, Adam West the washed-up actor, or both at once (as in my role on ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'').
 
Or my role in ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' "The Gray Ghost", where I play a washed-up actor who can't get any decent work because everyone associates me with my role as a cheesy superhero.
 
I played a washed-up superhero who turned out to be a deluded actor on ''[[Kim Possible]]''. And I played ''another'' deluded actor in the pilot for ''Lookwell'', a [[Conan O Brien]] and [[Robert Smigel]]-produced pilot. In this version, I had formerly played a detective on TV and thought I could use my actor training as [[Genre Savvy]] to solve real crimes. And a super-powered [[Super -Powered Robot Meter Maids|pizza delivery boy]] in ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]''.
 
I also played a goofy rendition of myself on ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'', in which I drive the Batmobile from the show (which is now a broken down wreck), complain about the [[Michael Keaton]] Batman films [''*taps his pecs*'' - "Pure West."], and dance the "Batoosie" while The Simpsons slowly back away. Also ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''.
Line 19:
In the ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria]]'' episode "The Legion of Super Writers", I voiced a superhero-portrayed [[Ernest Hemingway]]. Currently, my biggest role is as the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[The Danza|Adam West]], Mayor of Quahog in ''[[Family Guy]]''.
 
Interestingly, I played the supervillain [[Darth Vader Clone|Breathtaker]] in the [[Black Scorpion]] TV series. [[Steven Ulysses Perhero|Dr. Noah Goddard]] [[Innocent Bystander|was an ordinary doctor]] until [[Black Scorpion]]’s [[Create Your Own Villain|police father wound him in a shoot out]]. [[Darth Vader Clone|Breathtaker]] was born and years later, and he will take his life. So Breathtaker could be considered [[Black Scorpion]]’s [[Arch Enemy]], because [[ItsIt's Personal]]. By the way, [[Black Scorpion]] is described as [[Batman (TV)|TV Series Batman]] + [[Ms. Fanservice]]. Oh, and as a bonus, [[Casting Gag|Frank Gorshin]] [[Batman (TV)|(the Riddler) ]] interpreted supervillain Clockwise.
 
Bizarrely, I also voiced Mayor Grange, the Mayor of Gotham City in ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'', [[You Keep Using That Word|which begs the question]] of why [[Christopher Nolan]] hasn't cast me in any of his versions of the ''Batman'' movies. Shame. (Bizarrely, you say?)
Line 29:
I played a cab driver in the low budget superhero spoof film ''Super Capers'', and am easily the most watchable part in it. I just need to show Chris Nolan that I've still got star power in the movies [[Batman the Movie|like before]]. It's a crying shame he hasn't asked me to be a part of ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]''. I can do a great raspy voice.
 
I recently appeared in ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' as myself at Jack Donaghy's birthday party. After I flubbed the introduction and got thrown out, I complained that I was promised a sandwich and hasn't received it. Silly me.
 
Following the release of a Batman game, a host of the show ''[[X-Play]]'' visited me on the show.
