Synopsis:
The real story behind ”Batman” from the star of the classic TV series.
The appeal of a Batman book by a guy who still regularly appears in public in full Bat-regalia is overwhelming, particularly when in places it reads like the old TV show’s dialogue; “[Julie Newmar] caused curious stirrings in my utility belt.” But West, Batman’s TV avatar, can also be introspective: ”The time [the mid-1960s] was wrong for a sinister, film noir Batman.” And sometimes, were it not for the possibility that West may soon appear at a mall opening nearby, his narrative would be sad: ”I was angry and profoundly disappointed when I was not asked to reprise the role” (in Tim Burton’s feature film).
In short, this is an informative book about a classic bit of television history by a participant who cared and still cares about the character he portrayed. Oh, some parts seem strained or naive, but this merely makes the book more evocative of its subject.
A light but interesting memoir that as pop culture history is valuable for, besides West’s insights, its annotated episode guide featuring his commentary. Mike Tribby
