(16 Jun 2017) BAT-SIGNAL LIGHTS UP LOS ANGELES IN TRIBUTE TO ADAM WEST
Los Angeles became Gotham City Thursday night (15 June) as the Bat-Signal glowed at City Hall in honor of late Batman actor Adam West.
Hundreds of fans, some in costume, cheered as Mayor Eric Garcetti and Police Chief Charlie Beck switched on the iconic signal and splashed a yellow oval with a bat silhouette high up on the wall of City Hall.
West, who played the Caped Crusader in the campy 1960s TV series, died last week at 88.
The mayor also led the citizens in a rendition of the TV show theme song, which consisted of playfully singing "nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah" to imitate the driving rhythm.
On display was a red Bat-Phone like the one Gotham City's Commissioner James Gordon used to chat with Batman in the TV series.
West's wife and children attended the event.
Burt Ward, who played Robin on the show, called the actor a "family man."
"My friend Adam would want every single one of you to be incredibly happy and to be joyous, because he spent his entire life as a performer making people happy, making them laugh, and trying to make this world a better place," Ward said.
Before the lighting, people lined up to take photos with two red-and-black, sharp-finned Batmobiles parked on the sidewalk.
Some wore Batman masks and others wore capes, T-shirts and hats adorned with the Batman TV logo.
