Burt Ward, who is best known for playing the role of Robin opposite of Batman played by Adam West, has received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Finally! And it’s appropriately located next to West’s star. He received his honor on a January 9th ceremony that donned actors dressed as Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and many more recognizable characters.
He and West played their iconic roles in the TV show Batman, which ran from 1966 to 1968. “It’s only been 50 years,” Ward says upon finally receiving his Walk of Fame star. “And I am a patient person.”
Even after the original ’60s television series, Ward would go on to reprise his role in spinoffs. These include its theatrical feature film, the Saturday morning animated series The New Adventures of Batman (1977), the two-episode pilot Legends of the Superheroes (1979), the animated reunion films Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016) and Batman vs. Two-Face (2017), and the live-action television event Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019).
