I agree with Pixle, Adam West was pretty fat.
To be honest I am not seeing the problem with West's torso that some of you are seeing. He always looks thick around the waste to me.
Just to clarify politely mate - as has been mentioned before in here, the huge belt starting high on his waist - masked it.
The top of it touched his rib cage most of the time, & so because the belt started at the top of his trunks, & ended under his ribs.. the appearance of his sides looking thick, has skewed folks' perception of his body proportions from then - till now. It's his ribs sticking out.. not his torso girth.
Those earlier shots just posted aren't perfect either - you're right, he wasn't fitted that way in the show. The belt's sitting lower on his waist there.
The truth though, is that West was a pretty damn fit guy. The way the suit looked on him (in the show) added to the comedy factor to some degree by way of my aforementioned points.
Quick! Someone start a poll! "Adam West: Fat or Thin?"
Call that coworker thick and then call her fat. See which one registers a harder hit.
