It's so ironic that Burt Ward was there that day, because the show she mentioned, Circus Boy, had the exact same origin for its lead character that Robin had. Corky's parents were killed in a trapeze accident and he became adopted. Also, Corky was played by Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, so Isabella could still meet him if she wants to.
