The man pictured above sure does think so! Yes, Bat-fans that is Burt Ward. Burt Ward (the man who played Robin in the original TV show of the 60’s) thinks that DC made a terrible move in killing off Batman’s son/sidekick. Judging by most blogs, discussion boards, and public outcry; the comic-book society agrees. While we all saw it coming, the death of Robin was painful and upsetting. While this isn’t the first time a Robin has died (see Death in the Family 1988), the fans didn’t have a choice. Burt Ward goes on to say:
“It’s a terrible choice to kill off Robin. Why bite the hand that feeds you? … Robin should only die in people’s imaginations! Or in a state of primal ecstasy!”
Nevertheless, Burt adds, “Every youngster realizes that he or she is too young to drive and they are not big like Batman. So, they all yearn to be Robin who gets to RIDE WITH BATMAN AND FIGHT WITH BATMAN!”
DC should take more input from this man. It’s hard to imagine that everything began with the audition below!
