His house/dog rescue facility are about 2 miles from my house in Norco, CA. I've seen him at least twice, just a plump little old man, but still has those pretty eyes! Never spoke to him, though.
Thank you so much for this - over the years some horrible stories have circulated about Burt Ward and it's lovely to discover what a very good, generous and kind man he really is.
He wasn't called the Boy Wonder for nuthin'.

He certainly has done some good deeds and is probably an all around good fellow but he did his share of Hell raising.
I met Burt and Tracy Ward at their dog rescue in 1997 when I was having behavior problems with my Great Dane puppy. It was a memorable experience. They were both so nice, gracious and down to earth. It only hit me on the drive home who he was. I kept saying to my kids, “I know his name from somewhere.” Granted I was 5 or 6 when I watched Batman. Lovely genuine people who honestly wanted to help dogs and their owners.
How can someone be so perfect - Kind, Humble. Super Smart, Well Endowed, Super Athletic even from a very young age, Endurance and some kind of Healing Factor. Was he made in a lab or something ? He could have been his own super hero or a rich suave villain that keeps the heroes on their toes
I had no idea what a kind big hearted man. So many accomplishments so young. Never was impressed with him before this video. Now that I know what he’s all about, I’m so impressed there are no words. And that was before you got to the dog rescue. Now he is my hero. 😂 got to love a guy who loves dogs so much. 👍
Burt is a good looking guy, but the mask made him even better looking - it worked perfectly with his face and eye shape.
His autobiography is excellent reading. We recently started using the Gentle Giants food for our dogs. I'm hoping our dogs benefit from the same longevity that the Ward's dogs have.
Always knew Burt Ward was a great person. A fan forever
I met Burt Ward and Adam West.. at the B&I Shopping center in Tacoma Wa. They were dressed in their costumes, a lot of people attended.. it was a lot of fun!.. It was Aug. '66
So glad to know him better! Two really nice men.
I met Bert years ago. I work at a print shop. He was a customer of ours. He drove a black car a take off of the Batmoble. Nice gentleman.
His life is a very inspiring one and a lovely friendship he had, may Adam rest in peace and their friendship to live forever
Adam West and Burt Ward were the best Batman and Robin that there ever was. It's too bad that back in those days people were so prudish about the costumes and the male form. Burt was so handsome
Mr. Ward was born to perform! How awesome for him to be genius at what he does! My grandson taught himself to read before even going to kindergarten. He had to go to the first grade class when it was reading time because kindergarten reading was way too easy for him.
Great information! Brought back wonderful memories of when I was a child, I never missed an episode I watched it every day after school.❤❤
Burt is a good hearted man! I met him at the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOTION PICTURE COUNCIL 3 years ago. He was there along with Anson Williams, Donny Most from HAPPY DAYS tv show. They were there to receive awards.
He was gifted in many areas😂

Censors probably had problems with Ward's physique below his belt as probably did some very conservative viewers who were concentrating on things most of us never paid attention to...I watched the show back when it aired & never once saw a reason to crotch-watch anybody. Censors back in the 1950s & 1960s were very odd, even making several actors shave their chests before doing shirtless scenes or because their chest hair could be noticed through their shirt collars...William Shatner on Star Trek was told to shave his chest so he would appear more civilized & less barbaric & wild...Leonard Nimoy was told to keep his chest hair because they said it made him look more devilish & alien. ...Also, no man would volunteer to shrink his package unless he desperately needed money...there are types of jockstraps any man can wear that makes his private shape nicely contoured instead of being obvious.
An amazing Individual, truly remarkable, Thank you for sharing this video
Awesome that he cared about the dogs that's great. A lifelong friend that outlasted how many marriages.
Any of the many garden variety drag queens that call LA home could have taught him to hide his candy.

I was around 6 years old when the Batman series began. It was my favorite show. But, I will say, I only watched to see Robin. I've always leaned towards hero characters that were still considered teenagers that could kick grown mens asses. Hehehehehe. Living in Glendale, CA at the time, my grandmother had somehow managed to get me an exact duplicate of Robins yellow cape. Wearing colored underwear and t-shirt, I became Robin when I was needed for emergency situations...eheheheheheh. Ahhhh, Good Times. :)

Burt seemed to have faded into history where as Adam Ward was still getting work especially voice work (The Simpsons). Was happy to find our he has remained upbeat and developed more positive real life endeavors such as animal rescue. Never knew he had been that close a friend to Adam or, friends with Bruce Lee!

For such an iconic show it actually only had three seasons from January 12, 1966, to March 14, 1968, twice weekly during the first two seasons, and weekly for the third. It was a child star kind of thing for Ward. Maybe if the show went on longer he might had to more projects. Can you imagine being that associated with that part ?

Sounds like Burt never let celebrity status ruin the person he was in private life. He was smart and always did the right thing. Saving dogs and starting his sanctuary for them, makes him a wonder in his own right...!
I was 10 years old when this show started and it was the absolute perfect escape for a young hyper boy! Even when it went into re-runs it was fun I knew I was gay by then but honestly never really thought about Robin being “large” I was in love with his looks and athletic ability! 😉

That's the difference between kids and adults. THEY are the ones who are obsessed with sex. Kids just see a cool superhero they want to be. They just want to watch and be part of the story. Get caught up in it. When you lose your ability to imagine, lose your ability to believe in the magic of the story, you become one of "those" adults.

I read in a book a long time ago that Burt was pretty well endowed and they made him tape it down somehow between his legs. But I never knew they made him take drugs to shrink it! I know I wouldn't have taken those pills no matter WHAT the role! I also read the same thing about Ricky Nelson. Once the dude hit puberty he became hung as a Shetland pony and they made HIM tape it down for his parents TV show as well! If any of you ever saw still photos of him when he did Rio Bravo with John Wayne you'd know it true too!
Hell in today’s comic book TV shows, nobody would have a problem if his thing was 18 inches long. Makes me wonder what kind of people are working behind the cameras these days.
Burt Ward was an extremely good looking young man.
A really nice piece, many thanks, My dad had an old Batman comic book from either the 1940’s or 50’s , I was just a little kid at the time that I saw it, So I didn’t pay much attention to it , However this is definitely a top piece, Many thanks

His love of his friend and dogs is Noble, no wonder they were a dynamic duo, Bat Man and Robin forever, POW💥ZAP⚡️
He was so adorable!

30,000 wpm and 90% comp?!?! And I felt pretty good about my measley 700-900 wpm and 81% comp. That's insanely cool and impressive AF.
People are surprised he had an actual martial arts background, and he had even sparred with Bruce Lee.
