The Bat-signal was used in the show when the fictitious Gotham City Police Department needed to summon the superhero.
According to an announcement from DC Comics, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Police Chief Charlie Beck joined “Bat-guests” to light the Bat-signal in tribute to West’s portrayal of the “Bright Knight” on Thursday night.
The West family encouraged fans who are unable to attend the ceremony to make a donation to either the Adam West Memorial Fund for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Camp Rainbow Gold.

Well Sirs, the solution to US problems is a $25,000 dollar guaranteed income for everyone. And get this it won’t cost one penny. It will pay for itself seven times over by streamlining government. Thats right, it will cost $175 billion per year while saving $1.22 dollars. And is this being done? No! Why? Probably because a lot of bureaucrats would then have to pick shit with the rest of us chickens out here. Simply it’d be the right thing to do, and it could be done be now. Nothing else would be required of Congress and the President for the country to suddenly have a ton of problems solved. . Jsav.
