Batman star Burt Ward, who famously played Dick Grayson, better known as Robin, is opening up about his friendship with his co-star Adam West.
While speaking to ReMind magazine in June 2025, Ward shared details about his screen test for the beloved series, which ran for three seasons until 1968. According to Ward, he and West, who played Bruce Wayne/Batman, immediately hit it off.
“I had a 50-some-odd-year friendship with my dear friend Adam West. I met Adam on set during my screen test for Batman. They handed me a single sheet of paper containing paragraphs labeled 'Bruce' and 'Dick' referring to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson — though I didn’t know that at the time," said Ward during the interview. “Adam and I sat down, started talking, and within five minutes, the two of us were laughing. We never stopped laughing for more than 50 years. He was the funniest person and such a kind man. We just had a great time."
In addition, Wade shared that "not once did any director ask [him] or Adam how to deliver [their] lines" during the show's 120-episode run.
“When it came to our dialogue, we played off each other. Adam portrayed Batman with an authoritative, grand presence, speaking slowly and deliberately. I was the opposite — quick and eager," explained the 80-year-old actor.
Wade and West reprised their iconic roles as Robin and Batman in the animated feature, Batman vs. Two-Face, which was released a year after West's 2017 death.
Wade spoke about the movie, which also starred Star Trek actor William Shatner, during a 2018 interview on 13WHAM ABC News. According to Wade, Batman vs. Two-Face "is wonderful family entertainment."
"It's a lot of fun. It has Adam West's voice as Batman. It has my voice as Robin. And we have playing Two-Face, none other than William Shatner. So you've got the two most iconic shows in TV history, Batman and Star Trek, with the actors working together," said Wade during the 2018 interview.
