The death of Adam West, who played Batman in the 1960s television series and film, has inspired fans to share his finest moments as the Caped Crusader.

Fans of West remembered his legendary Batusi …

… which he also performed for King Tut …

… and his cameo on The Simpsons.

Who could forget the episode in which he fought off an ocean predator with shark repellent bat spray?

West died on Friday aged 88 after a short but brave battle with leukemia, his family said in a statement.

Burt Ward, who played Batmans sidekick, Robin, was friends with West for more than 50 years.

We shared some of the most fun times of our lives together, Ward told the Variety entertainment media outlet. This is a terribly unexpected loss of my lifelong friend. I will forever miss him.
