Batman dead but not forgo en

– A giant Bat-signal lit up the side of city hall in Los Angeles on Thursday to honour actor Adam West, who played the superhero role in the ’60s television series.

He died on Friday at age 88 following a battle with leukemia.

The caped crusader helped protect the fictional Gotham City in a franchise that began as a DC Comics strip before also moving to television and film. – AFP
