- Batman: Revealed!First, let me start off by saying that if you go to Mr. West's website, "www.adamwest.com"; you can get a personally autographed copy of his book. I think this is an absolutely great treasure to give to any "Batman" fan. Second, my opinion of his tome. Simply stated, it's a fun ride back to your childhood. It gave me the scoop on everything and anything that was "bat-ified" because of that show. The only thing I wished was that there were more stories, even if little ones. It was like a peek over the shoulder of one of my heroes from my youth. The difference now is that I can appreciate the reality of what went on outside the fantasy of Batman; what Mr. West sacrificed for the character. If you have the chance to see him in any other role, you would then understand "what could have been" in his career, though I think that he was born to be "The Caped Crusader". What a look into the 60's and what was happening! Some of it delicious, and other parts, sobering. It seems that fame and fortune truly do have a price, but dealing with its effects is what made Mr. West a real man. He does this by being humble, quite honest, and quite funny, depending what part of his on-screen/off-screen life you're reading. Some of his tales are pleasantly quirky, and others, detailed enough to feel like you were there; you remember an episode he speaks of, then you begin to think about what went on while he was filming it (the cast, the guests, etc.). Pure reading pleasure. Even the story surrounding the movie was wonderful. I feel that he respected the reader enough, as well as himself, to describe the events of his life before, during, and after "Batman" by giving you insight that spins the yarn of all that was good and not-so-good, without having to give some of the harsh details. I make great mention of this because his co-star, Burt Ward, wrote his own version of life during "Batman" and if you have any morals or sense of respect for yourself or the show, DO NOT waste your time with his book. Mr. West was most gracious in his storytelling, and he deserves all your attention. Get the book because "we haven't one moment to lose!". Rating: - batman! The best book about West.I first bought this book and read it and had to re-read it all over again! Rating: - BAD PHOTOSI LOVE the book about Adam West, but the photos inside it are NOT CLEAR. THEY ARE VERY, VERY BAD. I can barely see Adam's face and the others details . The first edition was very better. Sorry, Adam! Rating: - A book that should have been written earlier!!It is enjoyable for me to read the story of my childhood hero. I watched the reruns of the show during the 1970's. Adam gives us a behind the scenes look of Batman, info about the guest villians, and how playing Batman has affected him. This like Burt Ward's book and Yvonne Craig's are a must for batfans & the batmania collector. Rating: - Great writing about this guy's life!Wow, what a auto-biography!Holy nightmare Adam, well writen! Back to the Batcave Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
