There is a great documentary running on Showtime which chronicles West's life and
the drive by fans to get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  He was 84 when
they shot it, and incredibly energetic.

Besides Batman, Family Guy and Catman on the Fairly OddParents, he also voiced young Mermaid Man on the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Back to the Past." His co-star Burt Ward voiced young Barnacle Boy in that same episode. Their old-aged counterparts were voiced by Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway.

With both Adam West and Ernest Borgnine gone, the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon lost both versions of the superhero Mermaid Man.
