{{quote|''Nobody messes with Adam We.''|The man himself on '''[[Family Guy]]''' after contemplating that the letters missing in his name on his Lite Brite board was intentional.}}
Hello old chums, I'm TV's Adam West. [[Hey, It's That Guy!|You may recognize me]] as the 1960s ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]''. Once upon a time, I was considered a serious leading man. However I couldn't get serious work after ''[[Batman (TV series)|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]]'').▼

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]]''.

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 [[It's Personal]]. By the way, [[Black Scorpion]] is described as [[Batman (TV series)|TV Series Batman]] + [[Ms. Fanservice]]. Oh, and as a bonus, [[Casting Gag|Frank Gorshin]] [[Batman (TV series)|(the Riddler) ]] interpreted supervillain Clockwise.

Thanks to an initiative spearheaded by actor Ralph Garman, I've got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame now! Thanks, Ralph.
