Actor Adam West, famous for his portrayal of Batman in the legendarily-campy 1960s TV show, has one final animated Batman movie in the pipeline, to be released posthumously.
Late last year, West reprised his iconic role along with co-star Burt Ward in Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Batman VS Two-Face is a sequel to that film, planned for release digitally and on home video later this year. Warner Bros. and IGN have confirmed that West managed to record his lines for the sequel before his death last week.
The film will pit West against another well-known 60s TV actor - William Shatner, providing the voice of Two-Face. It is likely to have been one of the final performances in West's 60-year-long career.
In the last decades of his career, West made a significant resurgence in the public eye by voicing a variety of characters in animation, often paying homage to his Batman role through characters loosely based on exaggerated versions of himself. He also voiced other characters within the Batman universe as a further nod to his legacy, such as the DCAU's Gray Ghost, and The Batman's Mayor of Gotham City.

No hard release date yet but they're apparently aiming for 2017. Off-chance it gets pushed back though...

Mostly because there's no one that can emulate West's Batman

Especially because Jeff Bennett has emaluated Adam in Mask Of the Blue Falcon, and there's 995 he can emaluate his Batman with tweaking, given his highly impressive range.
Daran Norris was someon another person said but I'd go with Jeff.
A third movie is pointless with Adam dead, but Jeff channeling him in something isn't, liker if he had to hypothetically finish his lnes here for example.

It's just the comment was a bit blunt and replied with recommending Jeff Bennett.
