Batman's Burt Ward

Burt Ward, who played Robin and his alter ego Dick Grayson and wife Tracy Ward, address Adam West Day attendees in Walla Walla in a Q And A by videoconference.  Robin was Batman's crimefighting sidekick in the 60s ABC TV show.
In the lower right hand corner is Jonathan Grant, one of the founders of Adam West Day.  Thank you to Amanda of Walla Walla, who attended the conference and took the picture.

Great post Mike. I bet he has some great stories about the fun they had making the show. I remember that the Batman TV show was the first show I ever saw in color.

One of the worlds best pranks was pulled on Burt Ward by the Harvard Lampoon and Conan O’Brien. When he was appearing at an event, him and a cohort dressed as the penguin, announced they were going to commit a crime. Then had the house light turned off then stole his robin suit. They proceeded to taunt him wit weeks afterward
