I was referring to Batman & Robin as comic book characters, not the campy TV series, not the Joel Schumacher nipples-on-the-Batsuit movies.

And if Adam West is gay, he sure fooled his wives and all those groupies he and Burt Ward boned back in the day:

...His last year of college he also married 17-year-old Billie Lou Yeager. Adam got a job as a DJ at a local radio station, then enrolled at Stanford for post-grad courses. Drafted into the Army, he spent the next 2 years starting military TV stations, first at San Luis Obispo, CA, then at Fort Monmouth, NJ. Afterwards, Adam and his wife toured Europe, visiting Germany, Switzerland and Italy's Isle of Capri. When the money ran out, he joined a childhood and college buddy, Carl Hebenstreit, who was starring in the kiddie program "The Kini Popo Show" in Hawaii. Adam would eventually replace Carl, but not the other star, Peaches the Chimp. In 1956, he got a divorce, and married a beautiful girl originally from Tahiti, named Ngatokoruaimatauaia Frisbie Dawson (he called her "Nga" for short). They had a daughter, Jonelle in 1957, and a son Hunter in 1958. In 1959, Adam came to Hollywood. He adopted the stage name "Adam West" which fit his roles, as he was in some Westerns. After 7 years in tinseltown, he achieved fame in 1966, in his signature role as Batman, in the wildly popular ABC TV series. (Though he has over 60 movie and over 80 TV guest appearance credits, Batman is what the fans remember him for.) The Batman TV series, which lasted 3 seasons, made him not just nationally, but internationally famous. The movie version earned Adam the Most Promising New Star award in 1967. The downside was the Batman fame was partly responsible for ruining his marriage; and he would be typecast, and almost unemployable, for a while after the series ended (he did nothing but personal appearances for 2 years). In 1972 he met, and then married Marcelle Tagand Lear, so he got 2 stepkids Moya and Jill; in addition, they had 2 children of their own: Nina in 1976, and Perrin in 1979...
