In honor of television's first Batman, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 88, the city of Los Angeles will shine the iconic bat-signal atop the city Thursday night. Everyone waited in anticipation as Garcetti and Beck did the honors at exactly 9:19 p.m., projecting the green Bat-signal onto City Hall's tower.
Warner Bros. has confirmed that West completed his voice recordings for the new film, which features fellow 1960s TV star William Shatner in the role of Two-Face (a villain who was never actually seen in the original show). Recently, rumours of him leading a wild life which was filled sex and alcohol were doing the rounds on the internet.

Some 250 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire during the same period, a lot of them identified as attackers by Israel. The incident was the latest in a wave of violence between Israelis and Palestinians that started since mid-September.
The Bat-Signal has shone over Los Angeles in tribute to the late Adam West, the actor best known for playing Batman in the 1960s television series.
Mayor Eric Garcetti, addressing the "citizens of Gotham", named former Batman actors such as George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck.
With his previous cast mates, such as Julie Newmar, Burt Ward and Seth Green having already shared their thoughts on their friend and co-star, this Bat-Signal lighting is a chance for the fans to also pay tribute to the iconic actor. For his generations of fans, West will always be Batman and at least we can rest easy knowing that we have this one last turn in the role to enjoy. West's relatives are requesting that any donations be made to the Adam West Memorial Fund for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, which supports children with cancer and their families.
Despite modern versions of Batman taking a far more serious and gritty approach to the comic book character, West's children said in a statement following their father's death that he always aspired to positivity and always considered himself to be "the Bright Knight".
