Adam West — ‘Batman’ Star Died Hating Hollywood’s Heroes

Adam West is dead at the age of 88 — and the "Batman" star went out fighting against the modern "Dark Knight" movies that he couldn't stand!

The beloved '60s TV icon — whose own favorite film was the Peter Sellers film, "Being There" — wasn't shy about blasting the dark depiction of Batman in films that started with Tim Burton's big-screen "Batman" in 1989. Adam also spoke out about the more recent movies — including Chris Nolan's "The Dark Knight" and "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice."

Calling the flicks “very dark,” West spoke out in 2016 to offer Ben Affleck advice for the upcoming "Justice League" superhero epic: “Enough violence. Let the costume work for you. And put a little humor into it. I think it’s about time to relieve all of that kind of attitude of vengeance, and ‘I can’t take it anymore, I’m going home and I’m going to suck my thumb!’”
