Where To Watch
According to Adam West, everyone on the set of Batman was a big happy Bat-Family
Maybe they were...Super Friends?
If you need another reason to love Adam West, look no further. Not only did he play the Caped Crusader, but he was also a downright nice man.
According to an interview, it didn't matter to West that he was starring in his own television show; he went out of his way to be kind to every actor and crew member he met on the set of Batman.
"I am trying to work this series my way," said West during an interview with the Liverpool Echo. "We are all a good, happy team on Batman. We are all important to each other, at least that is how I see it. Yes, of course, we are all a team."
West knew he was a star, but he also knew that getting conceited wouldn't help anyone.
"After all, I have been acting for 12 years," said West. "I am 32 now, and this is my job, so what is there to get all up about? This is why I want to know everyone on the set, and it doesn't matter what their job is, they are one of us. I think it is a happy crew, and we are trying to keep it so."
West was proud of his work in television and was willing to do anything to keep his picture-perfect Bat-Family. "This week, after Batman got such a terrific name, I have had three multi-picture contract offers from major studios," said the actor. "But I shall be in Batman a long while yet."

just for starters.
Errol Flynn would have been jealous of this guy.
I have come across these stories as asides when reading other star's bios, as such it
doesn't interest me much otherwise, as it's more the case they fall into the National Inquirer
realm.
If you do a search on the subject, you will find much more. Including Frank Gorshin
and West attending orgies, other stuff not really appropriate for these boards.
If West embellished these tales, I have no idea, I don't know his character or if he
had a sense humor, like when Robert Mitchum fed BS to not too bright reporters who he
perceived didn't have their facts.
