Burt Ward was the most handsome actor to ever play a costumed hero

He was my first real celebrity crush. Such a hottie.

He likes to claim that he's hung. Which means he's probably about 2 inches, max.

He and his wife ran a giant dog rescue and adoption service on their property in God forsaken Norco, Ca.. It is now closed and apparently for good reason. It and the Wards had terrible reviews. From the reviews I get the feeling Burt & Tracy are very rich lowbrow deadbeats who will do anything to get out of taking care of their responsibilities.

I'm just amazed a couple reportedly worth $120 million would choose to live out there in that horrible area. They have this gigantic house with a pool that probably cost over a million dollars and all around them are nothing but cracker box houses on dusty dirt lots.

We took a beautiful dog home after they neutered her (bizarre that their dogs are not neutered since they roam freely together). the dog was TERRIFIED of children and us and a leash since they do not walk their dogs or train them and they have almost no staff working with them."

I read his memoir. It was poorly written. Part hetero escapades, part braggadocio . He claims to have been up for the lead in The Graduate but the Batman show wouldn't allow it.

This review on Amazon about sums it up.

"Published by a company that Burt Ward owns (with good cause... no one in their right mind would touch this), Burt tells us how he was an honor role student, best chess player in his school, and speed reads 30,000 words a minute. He later describes how he was Bruce Lee's equal in the martial arts and how the nasty Batman producers kept him from playing the title role in The Graduate, leaving the role open for Dustin Hoffman. What he does not tell us is how such a great actor as he seems to feel that he is, spent the next thirty years making a living shaking hands at car lots. He does tell us that he got laid a lot. Not as much detail is spent discussing the un-named compainons though as tales as to how large his organ is, and how many orgasms he was able to bring them to on a regular basis. Funny thing about the book. He never discusses any friends. Upon reading the book it is apparent as to why. It is hard to imagine him having any."

other episodes (the joker episode "surf's up") where he did show bulge as did adam west... also the riddler episode where both he and west are tied up on those rotating wheels, both ward and west ESPECIALLY west are majorly bulging...

and there was a particular homoerotic scene in the episode of the sandman with michael rennie (white powder blown in robins' face metaphor anyone! while he is held down by the tall sexy handsome masculine rennie/sandman and then brainwashed and led away and in control of by his new "daddy" the sandman who towers over him.....
