Hollywood is mourning one of it’s most recognizable faces.
Adam West, who immortalized the caped superhero for the 1960’s TV series Batman, died Friday after a short battle with leukemia at the age of 88.
“Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero,” his family said in a statement.
Burt Ward, the Robin to West’s Batman, also released a statement remembering his good friend and costar.
“I am devastated at the loss of one my very dearest friends,” Ward said in a statement.

* 9th Circuit says FCC political ad ban too broad
* Dissent fears for future of public broadcasting
* FCC ban on ads for goods and services upheld

By a 2-1 vote, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the Federal Communications Commission violated the First Amendment's free speech clause by blocking public broadcasters from running political and public issue ads.
The court said the ban was too broad, and that lifting it would not threaten to undermine the educational nature of public broadcast stations. It upheld a ban on ads for goods...
