Adam West, the actor famous for his wry, dramatic portrayal of Batman, died Friday of complications related to leukemia. He was 88.

After news of his death broke Saturday, fellow stars -- including Mark Hamill, Conan O'Brien, and George Takei -- shared tributes to West on Twitter.

"I'm so lucky to have worked w/ him & tell him how much he meant to me," Hamill wrote.

Holy hell, Batman. We'll miss you.
