I met him at a personal appearance at a car dealership in Washington State in 1978. He told my mom she was pretty. I asked him what it was like to ride in the batmobile. He said it was like riding in a sherman tank, and the guy that designed it should be "strung up" lol. I got to try on his green gloves.

I was a 7 year old boy (growing up in DunDrum Ireland) when all us lads fell heads over heels with Batman & Robin. It was easier to immigrate to America for me because that’s where Batman & Robin lived!

[cathleanjohnson]

Glad he is still with us, we are losing so many of our stars from the 1960s-70s, Batman will forever be a piece of my 60s childhood TV viewing, he's forever "Robin" and he was so cute then..

[antheic]

So glad he got the part, he made a huge contribution to the classic show.

[crystalheart]

He still sounds like a kid. I'm glad he got the part, it wouldn't have been the same without him. I was in high school 14 at the time and I thought Robin was cute but Batman was my crush.

[mikentx]

He was very lucky to have met so many famous actors making guest appearances on Batman.

[marquiswallace]

“Robin…I’m glad you noticed the oncoming THRUST of Manhood.” Now that’s a classic Batman line. 😂😂😂

One of the Coolest moment's of my life was Meeting Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar at a comic book convention in 2003, I think. It Cost me over $ 250 bucks for there autographs but I don't regret it 😁👍

Part of superhero history. Thank you Burt.

[derekdemarco]

I worked in Hermosa Beach and would drive by Bert Ward's house. I got to talk to him a couple of times and he was always nice!

[VicMartino]

Holy good interview Burt Ward!! U are and always will be Robin to me. No one else will ever be as good in that part!

[bmoshareholderappleshareho]

I used to love watching Batman as a kid. When I was a kid, the VCR did not hit the market yet. So us kids used to rush home every day after school to watch Batman at 4 PM. As a kid, Batman was exciting to watch. As an adult, it's hilarious.

[Texasbaubles]

You were the best actor they could have picked!! So cute!❤

[josephlloyd]

Burt Ward is the greatest storyteller about his life and career in television and movies and thankfully he's still alive and well and he's in his 70's and birthday is in 2 more months and he will be 78 years old until July 6th 2023

That show was so fun to watch. Burt Ward and Adam West were so fun to watch. My brothers were attending Palos Verdes High School when they did some filming nearby the school. A big deal to hear about the Batmobile in the area.

I was 7 when it started and the Theme song was my favorite, I took my cassette recorder and recorded with the mic 6 weeks in a row, now I had the song to play for almost 2 minutes.
