Adam West, the former “Batman” TV star, made an appearance at Comic-Con 2011 on Friday, speaking alongside fellow former cast mates Burt Ward and Julie Newmar.
Commenting on his portrayal of the character, West said, "My Batman, I think of it as the Bright Knight; the others are the Dark Knight,” reports Reuters.
"It's just a different ball game, that's all -- not that I wouldn't love to play the Dark Knight's father," West offered.
He was speaking during the panel honoring the 45th anniversary of the "Batman" TV series at Comic-Con 2011.
West was joined by his former co-stars Burt Ward (who played his trusty sidekick Robin) and Julie Newmar (the first of three actresses to play Catwoman).
The panel packed the hall with fans of the superhero series, many of whom had clearly not been born yet when the series debuted in 1966, Reuters reports.
During the panel, West discussed how he scored the role: "I was hired to play Batman because they saw a commercial I'd done for Nestle's Quik and they said, 'This is the turkey to play him.’”
"It was such a harmless show, and it was so much fun – absurd. I enjoy it so much more than any other series or movie I've done since,” West reminisced.
