Boy Wonder Burt Ward

The character of Batman is the epitome of what Everything Old is New Again is all about. The caped crusader gets reinvented for each generation. Currently, Ben Affleck wears the cape and cowl. But for kids growing up in the 60's and 70's, their dynamic duo were Adam West and our guest Burt Ward.

Burt joins us to discuss the lasting legacy of the iconic 1960's TV series Batman, and about the new animated film that will once again reunite the cast. Burt has also become a superhero in real life for our four legged friends, through his Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions organization. We'll hear about that as well!
