I miss Adam West 😢 But I'm thankful for Burt Ward

[@HansCent]

I didn't even realize the clip was 14+ mins, the stories he told were so interesting and engaging.

[@JackKirbyFan]

I totally agree. He's so humble and gracious. We need more people like this in the world.

[@davidhire4344]

I forgot the video 14+ minuets. I see Burt Ward (The Boy Wonder/Robin) in a whole new way. All the work he does for canines.

[@themysteriouscatperson9483]

Your likes are at 66. Holy coincidence

[@postersandstuff]

Hes not humble at all , ever read his book ? I talked about scammers forging his signature but it didnt bother him , after all hes not getting ripped off

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

Its true when he says he enjoys talking to people. I met him years ago and he talked to me like we were old friends. I was so surprised.

[@mikemerkweki6949]

I met him also at a Comic-Con , he's a very genuine people person! He's not there just for the money, it was interesting here him talk with the other Batman actresses and Adam West....

[@ArtofLunatik]

Holy ridiculously surprising interview Batman!!

I'm honored to have met and befriended Burt and Tracy Ward. God Bless The Canine Crusaders!

I would like to see Burt Ward demonstrate his love of helping Dogs. I just like to see it.

[@pooooo52]

Cool. I wish I met Mayor Adam we.

[@warriorsofcamelotlotro3347]

BURT is a true National Treasure!!!

[@jose14629]

If anyone notices, Mr. Ward is the last from the true moral, respectful, well rounded, professional and just well brought up generation. The kind of upbringing that makes another feel astounded now, today. This is the way it should be. Of course if everyone was like this, then this would not be a surprise but the norm because, well everyone would be like this. But now, it most definitely would be a huge surprise! People like him are no longer around for today, this new generation seems to be preoccupied with their own vanity!

Burt comes across vain in his book

The Batman TV show made me a life long Batman fan. I loved the show and I didn't see the show until the reruns of the 70's. Ceaser as the Joker was my favourite Batman Villain. He made me a life long Joker fan. At the age of 52 I still love the show. Adam West & Burt Ward are part of my Childhood. Rip Adam 💖

[@26hypnotica]

Batman 1966 tv series was a breath of colourful fresh air and still is fun. I could not imagine a better Robin than Burt Ward, he was a bundle of energy and was the king of one liners. Love you Burt.

[@only257]

Agreed 🎉

[@marjoryrainey5761]

Thank you Burt and wife for caring for the dogs!

[@charlesbandini6650]

They are a blessing..

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

It's great to hear from you Burt. You held the flame for us all. Thanks.

[@robinbrl]

Burt is hilarious. He has told some pretty wild stories about his Batman days.

[@postersandstuff]

Both him and Hogan likes to embellish stories , some people simply cant stop lying

[@kwayneboy1524]

@@postersandstuff what do you mean?

[@RockU2Death5150]

His stories are so much fun! I could easily watch a full-length "behind the scenes" for the original Batman show.

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Both worked so well together to me as a kid they were the real deal .. the car the boat the chopper all real too.. anyone who can nearly double a dog's life's span is cool with me

[@Decimator-jh4gu]

Thank you, Burt for helping dogs so much, that's so amazing and such a wonderful life saving thing to do. I HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE SAVING DOGS, YOU ARE BOTH REAL HEROS.

[@TheMOSEPH]

Burt Ward should be cast as the Penguin. A return to the world of Batman! He'd probably be amazing.

[@darwinharkey9421]

We went to the kiddie show every Saturday morning at the Brunson Theater, and they played Batman movies a lot and every kid there would scream out "pow"or whatever when it came on screen . Batman was the favorite movie for kids. I'm 63 now and it's still one of my favorite memories from the 60's. Thank you, Burt Ward, oh!, I mean Robin....... Sharon

[@reonmaterman6600]

Anyone else notice how at times he sounds like Mark Hamil

[@stripervince1]

I watched it. It was a monster in the ratings from the first minute. The colors, the action, the superstar villans . What a great show, when tv was great. When Hollywood was great....the 1960s. When EVERYTHING was great. Yeah, fantastic interview Burt. Very good enjoyable and interesting listening to you. Been a fan since day one

[@charlesbrentner4611]

I'm working through the series on DVD at the moment. Great fun that will never get old.

[@Chandasouk]

Goodness gracious. Exclusive indeed!

[@richardbennett6237]

Thanks, Burt Ward. Enjoyable time with a TV icon …

[@monmixer]

Thank you for caring for these animals. Dogs are so loving and so unconditional. They should never be mistreated. Had to put our black lab down yesterday morning. He had a mild stroke last year and we got him good medical attention and bought him another 6 or 7 months of quality life and then he started to turn for the worse again and his bad days were far out weighing his good days. He passed over in loving arms. He was 17. 119 years old in human life. He wiill be sadly missed. He was gentle friend to all and serious protector to the people he loved. RIP Murphey.

[@douglaselliott8298]

I have great respect for 'celebrities' who after their respective "fifteen minutes" gracefully and unobtrusively retire and/or refocus their efforts on the humanities.

[@marciofadel4709]

I have a copy of "back to the batcave" signed by Adam, my greatest treasure.

[@holidaypunch6621]

Rip Adam west

[@michaelclentworth1283]

I hope that Seth MacFarlane can talk Burt into a voice role on Family Guy.

[@jaydenluna9635]

Its funny because I saw the 60s Batman on my grandma's TV in 2012 I always liked watching it on Saturdays also why would 9 people 👎 this

[@dannymcrooster4089]

These two great men made live an amazing childhood. I loved them, and I still do. When I saw something about that serie, I am thrown into that lovely lifetime.

[@brockbaby]

Has Burt had a quick cameo in any of the Batman movies? IF NOT it's way overdue.

[@carlalinton6142]

Carla Linton. I love Mr. Burt Ward. He is one of my favorite Television Actors.

It is sad to see Burt Ward without Adam West. Thank you very much Batman TV series team, love from India.

You should run for the new mayor of Quahog. You would probably win, since your opponent is a real dog.

im glad they picked these 2 guys for batman and robin😁

[@Pauldjreadman]

The 60s Batman had the reach of today’s internet. It was that powerful, wow.

[@davidskaar3232]

I remember when the Show aired Jan.12th. 1966. Gold...ZAP!! Saw Ceasar Romero at the Academy awards in 1984.

[@paulweston8408]

Bert Ward will always be special to me because I got to meet him at a signing in the early 70's. As a young 5 or 6 year old nothing was better. The big thing that really stood out to me back then is that even though he was in costume, he didn't have his tights on and his legs were so hairy!

[@rodneyhankins6417]

Thank You Mr. Ward for your acting and for you and your wife on caring for Dogs.

[@domimburgia935]

Holy interviewing Batman!!!

[@Richard_John_Dick_Grayson]

9-25-19 Ever since I was a little kid, Burt Ward is my favorite live-action Richard Grayson-- a very close second is Chris O'Donnell. To me though, Burt Ward is to Richard Grayson, what Christopher Reeve is to Superman. I loved Casey Kasem as the voice of Robin, but it wouldve been really cool if they had gotten Burt Ward to voice Robin on the last two seasons of Super Friends, along with Adam West. P.S. Happy Christopher Reeve Day.

[@larryshaver3568]

Burt's voice sounds amazingly similar to how it did when the series was made

[@aliostrowski1935]

Yeah your voice only changes slightly as you become an older adult

[@ectoplasmicentity]

I love this man, and I'm the joker!

[@brockbaby]

THANK YOU BURT!

Best live action Robin.

A truly great human being..thanks Burt for what you have done for animals and Batman was cool to.

When I was little and misbehaved my mother would threaten me with, "you can't watch Batman tonight ".

Burt Ward is a great storyteller. Not a boring second during this interview!

[@watsonsatot6925]

There's a movie titled Return To The Bat cave which is also served as a biopic about both Ward and West..

I heard that Adam West was going to make a cameo in the Batman movie with Michael Keaton but he had to cancel because he caught a bladder infection from Burt Ward

[@briancorcoran9888]

What a true gentleman, and very funny.

[@charlesbandini6650]

Burt Ward is amazing...

[@SINTD_666]

In my opinion the Batman died when the tv shows stopped. That was my first experience of Batman. I’m too young to have learned about Batman from comics. Don’t care much for the modern movie Batman. Controversial, I know but this is only my opinion.

[@only257]

huge fan of this show

[@TheGman2274]

As a kid, I loved the batman show, but I always wanted to be Robin

[@michwashington]

It’s A Shame They Didn’t have a cameo in Batman 1989

[@gumballrally427]

Thank you Mr. Ward.

[@twalrus1]

It reminds me of Mario. We wanted to play Batman and Robin and various villains. Mario wanted to be Catwoman. We wanted to play like we were playing guitars and drums (brooms and coffee cans) and be The Beatles. Mario and another kid wanted to be The Supremes. We were kids so we didn't know what wasn't quite right with Mario.

[@theelvisguru9490]

The pows and zaps were added later. What a surprise! 😂😂

[@nigelmathewsnrm]

I think there may have been some curious stirrings in the utility belts, but when you had Batgirl in a 'Bat seating sandwich' 'Holy hot seat', it's very understandable. RIP Yvonne Craig, legendry ladies were never more lovelier than you.

I broke my front tooth playing “Batman” the a rope on my swing set that was made out of that rebar stuff that is used in making roads. My tooth went into my lip. They had to get a piece of the tooth that had broken off out of my lip. I remember looking down and seeing it. My tooth did not get fixed until over a decade later.
