Adam West thinks the modern 'Batman' movies are too "dark".
The 88-year-old actor portrayed The Caped Crusader in the iconic 1960s ABC 'Batman' TV series and 1966's 'Batman: The Movie' and has voiced the DC Comics character in various animated projects and video games.
West's adventures as the superhero on screen are famous for their humour and camp capers, and the acting legend is always disappointed with the brooding big screen interpretations of the character which have seen Christian Bale brood in 'The Dark Knight' trilogy and Ben Affleck's battle-weary Batman in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
He said: "In the new movies Batman is very full of vengeance and has deep-seated angst and so on ... They're very dark."
