If you ask this writer, Burt Ward has definitely earned his reprieve from the pain of portraying Batman’s red-clad sidekick.
Now he has moved on from portraying Robin in live-action (though he has joked about reprising the role as the new Robin for the DCEU) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales actor Brenton Thwaites will take on the part of Dick Grayson in the DC streaming service’s upcoming Titans series.
When we put these stories together, we are just glad to know that Burt Ward survived the making of Batman all those years ago.
