Los Angeles became Gotham City Thursday night as the Bat-Signal glowed at city hall in honour of late Batman actor Adam West.
Hundreds of fans, some in costume, cheered as Mayor Eric Garcetti and police Chief Charlie Beck switched on the iconic signal and splashed a yellow oval with a bat silhouette high up on the wall of city hall.
West, who played the Caped Crusader in the campy 1960's TV series, died last week at 88.
"Like you, we all spent many hours in front of the TV, same bat time, same bat channel," Garcetti told the crowd.
"Adam West taught us each one of us had a heart of gold," Garcetti said. "There will never be another Batman like Adam West and there will never be another Adam West."
