In his autobiography, Adam West tells the inside story of his role as the Caped Crusader. One day in the 1960s he woke up a star. The Batman TV show had become an overnight hit, rocketing its little-known lead actor to fame. But within two years Batmania had faded and West was on a downward path.

A touching celebration of humanity's ongoing quest for nobility, greatness, and integrity, as observed through the Batman's cowl.
