Adam West, the star of TV's popular and campy "Batman" TV show in the '60s, >has died,[1] according to his agent. West was 88.

I don't know why but, just a couple of days ago I was thinking about that Simpsons episode where Bart and Milhouse (??) meet Adam "Batman" West and
are not impressed. That, and that Adam West is the only "real" Batman. :(

Adam West may have made some Batman movies, I don't know since the
last Super Hero movie I saw was one about Superman that had a scene
that I didn't appreciate the movie makers having in that movie.

Since then I haven't paid to watch any of the recent Super Hero's flicks because the portions of those movie(s) I've seen Advertised on Television
have turned me off.

To me, these Newer movies have ruined the Ten Cent Comic Book Super Hero's
I read about when I was a youngster.

When I saw the phrase 'is the only "real" Batman' my mind drifted back
to going to the Crescent Movie Theatre in Saint Matthews (Louisville),
Kentucky in the mid-1960's.

The Movie was a Black&White Batman Serial made around 1938 and they
showed every one of the Episodes from the First to the Last.
And Yes, I sat and watched them all and enjoyed it too.

I haven't checked imdb.com to see if that was the earlist Batman movie
made.
There may be a Batman movie prior to that Serial, I don't know........

Did You go to the Crescent on Frankfort Avenue and watch Batman back then?

He was not in the movies. He played Batman in the 1960's TV series, which would have been in reruns on WDRB in the 1970's, which made him the first Batman I was ever exposed to.

Did You go to the Crescent on Frankfort Avenue and watch Batman back then?

No. I am not 100% certain, but I suspect that the Crescent may have been closed by the time we moved to Louisville. I have seen a couple of the old
b&w Superman serials that used to run in movie theatres, though. They were entertaining.

Thanks for the update.

The theater's name is Crescent Hill, not Crescent as I wrote earlier.
Memory flops occure behind the keyboard here as well as inside the pc.

I never saw a Superman Serial, the first Superman movie I saw was at
a theatre in the late 1940's or early 1950's and it was in B&W of course.

It showed His parents putting the baby in a rocket and sending it away
from the planet Krypton towards Earth.

I can't remember the theatre's name at the moment, but it was located
on the South side of Chestnut Street between 3rd and 4th Streets in
Louisville, Kentucky.

Back then Lincoln Park was on the other side of Chestnut Street before
the Grants and J. C. Penny Department Stores were built on that land.

Actually, someone reminded me that there was a movie with the cast of the
TV show. I thought it was a made-for-TV movie, but they said they saw it
in a theatre when it first came out in the late 1960's. I have only ever
seen it on TV, hence my confusion.

Back then Lincoln Park was on the other side of Chestnut Street before
the Grants and J. C. Penny Department Stores were built on that land.

I think I can remember when JC Penny still had a store down in that area,
but not Grant's.

Iirc JC Penny and Grant's were built along side each other at the same
time.
Grants was closer to Chestnut, Penny's was just North of it on the East
side of Fourth Street.

I remembered the Theatre's name was The Strand.
