Hollywood is mourning one of it’s most recognizable faces.
Adam West, who immortalized the caped superhero for the 1960’s TV series Batman, died Friday after a short battle with leukemia at the age of 88.
“Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero,” his family said in a statement.
Burt Ward, the Robin to West’s Batman, also released a statement remembering his good friend and costar.
“I am devastated at the loss of one my very dearest friends,” Ward said in a statement.
