Adam West, the US actor best known as the star of the 1960s hit TV series Batman, has died aged 88.
West died peacefully in Los Angeles after a brief battle with leukaemia, a family spokesperson said.
His tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Batman and the superhero's alter ego Bruce Wayne won a cult following.
However, West later struggled to find acting work. He most recently played a character in the animated comedy Family Guy.
West was born in 1928 in Walla Walla, Washington state, and began his acting career in Hawaii in the 1950s.
