‘Batman’: behind the tights

Prima donna standoffs, raging sexcapades and troublesome bulging undies are just some of the antics behind the scenes of ‘Batman’, according to Boy Wonder Burt Ward.

If the cult ’60s TV version of Batman was a colourful romp, off screen, it would appear the show was a positively kaleidoscopic mix of endless sex (with whipped cream and chocolate pudding), wardrobe malfunctions and epic rivalry. That is, if you believe the tales in Burt Ward’s 1995 autobiography, Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights.

Behind the scenes, Adam West as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Ward as Robin/Dick Grayson appear to have developed a rivalry to equal that of Crawford and Davis. In a backhanded compliment, Ward describes West as “the quintessential Superhero, with a face of stone and a style of acting as wooden as a larger-than-life crime fighter should be.”

Ward writes of tussles over who got the nicest carpets in their dressing rooms, which room was closest to the set and penis envy (that would be West of Ward’s). The pair tested the crew with their prima donna antics according to The Independent: “At one stage, each was refusing to enter the set before the other, so that producers had to rap on their doors simultaneously and lead them out shoulder to shoulder, like Premiership football captains.”

According to Ward, West was unhappy that Robin was made to look like the smarter of the superheroes, solving problems long before Batman. “Adam accused the writers and producers of ganging up on him to make him appear stupid,” he wrote. Batman’s producers kept the peace by giving West half of the lines that resolved the duo’s many challenges.

West seemed to write the rivalry off, at least in part, to Ward’s insecurity.

“I think that, from time to time, Robin had a real problem with not being Batman,” he told The Independent in 2005. “Burt wanted to play Batman. But he was a marvellous Robin. He was perfect.” – Source
