* Once Adam West passed away, the show's batsymbol was projected on Los Angeles' city hall. Hundreds of people came to see this. Some have even started a petition to get a bronze statue of West's Batman erected on his birth town.
* In essence, Adam West's entire career could be one. He acted his heart out playing a beloved character on a wildly popular TV show in the 60s, but afterwards couldn't find work because people thought he was over-the-top, because of that very role he was so famous for. It wasn't until the 90s that he was able to get some recognition, from a tiny cameo role in an episode of 'Batman: The Animated Series', where people began to realise the difficulty he'd suffered from the role. Finally in the 2000s, 'Batman 66' became a thing, with DVD releases of the show and it's tie-in movie, action figures of the characters, even Lego sets and, subsequently, an entire portion of 'Lego Batman 3' being devoted to Adam West's version of the character. It took a while, but Adam West's Batman has gone on to become one of the most fondly remembered of all time.
** [[https://youtu.be/KAavLplaL0M The eulogy from friend/collaborator Ralph Garman summed it up best]]; Ralph loved Adam because his version of Batman taught him how to be a hero, and it grew into a genuine friendship. His love for the man summed up how many felt about him.

He's stunned when Batman says that, thanks to Bruce Wayne, the Gotham Science Board will give Charm membership after he finishes his jail term.

* In the episode featuring Louie the Lilac (played by Creator/MiltonBerle), Batman and Robin come to sympathize with the [[NewAgeRetroHippie hippies]] who are camping out in Gotham Central Park. Considering a lot of mainstream television of the time took shots at hippies on a regular basis, having ''Batman'' of all shows be sympathetic to them means a lot.
