Ironically, Lyle Wagner had the look and build of the 70s comic book Batman.

Somewhere in the multiverse on a parallel timeline the roles of Batman and Robin were filled by Anthony Eisley and Robert Conrad.

Thanks, I did not know. I always associate Lyle with The Carol Burnette Show.😆

[jakeaustin]

Thank you again Rick for exceptional in depth reporting my friend. Continue to amaze us all. 👍

[captaingeneroddenberry]

I did remember seeing the testing with Lyle Wagner for Batman

[sandrasanders]

I was just watching Burt Ward talking about Waggoner trying out for the role.

[byronbrewer]

Holy Double Dynamic Duos! Great vid, Rick, thanks!

[brianedwards]

I didn't realise they worked so hard to get those roles. Too bad the money men betrayed them in season 3. They put their hearts into it.

[studlygrish]

Laura Wagner went on to be in the wonder woman TV show for three seasons

[jeffcarney]

Cool. I just watched the screen tests, and there's no comparison. I especially notice the voices. Adam West *sounds* like a hero.

[brianrebmann]

Thanks for a great video and for sharing this with us keep up the great work

[GarretGrayCamera]

Here's a nice bit of trivia for you. Lyle Waggoner started the company that makes the production trailers used on film sets called, Star Waggons.

[timsullivan]

Lyle Waggoner, Peter Deyell, and Marilyn Watson...HOLY FELINE RECASTINGS BATMAN!

[rickdixon]

I think Adam and Bert were the best choice because even today, 57 years later, when people think Batman & Robin, Adam & Bert are the ones that first come to mind.

[robertanzalone]

ABC made the right decision. Lyle Waggoner was best saved for the Carol Burnett Show and for Wonder Women.

[Viper-tnjz]

Just imagine how different it would have been, if Lyle Wagner had played Batman and Adam West had ended up playing Steve Trevor on Wonder Woman.

[johnpatterson]

No matter whom would have been cast in those parts. Adam West and Burt Ward's acting careers were forever typecast by this TV show.

[MsBackstager]

Golly gee RIck for always being in the KNOW.

[randytim]

They made the right casting decision. I watched the audition tape and Lyle Waggoner was actually very good but the actor playing Robin had a weird voice. Great video Rick.

[arthurgearheard]

Lyle Waggoner acknowledged that he was convinced that he would've been better in the part than Adam West!
