Batboy’s Bragging Rights

While perusing some feminist literature online, I came upon this little known fact about Batboy.

Earlier this week, Burt Ward, famous player of Robin in the 1960s Batman TV show, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During the ceremonies, he revealed some information that has us just bursting at the seams with curiosity.

It turns out, while there was nothing flaccid about Ward’s charismatic performance as the (clearly actually an adult) Boy Wonder, there was one part of Ward’s Robin that ABC wanted to have a little less on-screen presence.

“They thought Robin had a very large bulge for television,” Ward told Page Six. So large was Dick’s dick that, apparently, the Catholic League of Decency complained, and apparently ABC was so concerned about the enormity of the problem that the company took matters into its own hands. According to Ward, he was put on medicine from a studio doctor that would, in his words, “shrink me up.”

Conflict of interest, cited as the reason he wasn’t cast as Wilbur,
on the Mister Ed Show.

Also, maybe now we have the rest of the story, when June stated:
“Ward, I’m worried about the beaver.”

So thats why Robin did not have a utility belt. He always carried the only tool he ever needed.

“Oh no Robin its Catwomen”

“Hold my beer Batman I got this”

I told my brother one day that his hair was looking kind.

He said what do mean my hair is looking kind ?

I said it looks like the kind of hair you find on a monkey’s ass.
