Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights

Great book if you are a fan of the 1966 Batman TV show. Lots of behind the scenes information and a very interesting tales of what it was like to be in the production of the series back in the 60s.

It is a good thing that I did not know this stuff in my younger years! Who would have thought that the "Boy Wonder" had very adult adventures?

This book is my prized possession fr

A very difficult book to find. Amazon found one for me. (Thank you😊) I paid $100 for it. No regrets . If you were a kid At age 5 through 10 At the time that this show was airing. You have a lot of memories of Batman. This book will help you "understand " some of the scenes in the shows. It was the sixties.

Interesting reading for all Batman fans. If you read it along with Adam West's Back to the Batcave, you get a better overall picture, but both books are enjoyable in their own way. This one goes into more graphic descriptions of what went on behind the scenes than West's. Amusing, light reading.

You gotta hand it to Burt Ward, he's not a guy hiding behind the usual mask. He really tells ALL in this memoir of sex, stardom, and life as a sidekick.Any one of his excruciatingly detailed descriptions of his myriad sexual encounters reads a little like a sex blog, but there's something genuinely likeable about this talented guy who never seemed to grow up. And when I say, "talented," I am not referring to his dorky acting in that atrociously camp TV series. His talents consist mainly of great personal charm, a near photographic memory, early athleticism (pro skater as a toddler? believe it) and impressive martial artistry. Whatever "IT" is, he has it in spades, and the book has a kind of glow about it. He's confident, enthusiastic, funny, and unapologetic. Even when he's dishing dirt about Adam West (Batman), or devouring groupies like a bag of chips, he's utterly captivating and ...I don't believe I'm actually writing this... playful.In between the smutty sections, there are lots of interesting tidbits about 60's network television, vignettes of what it means to make the best of being forever known as "Robin the Boy Wonder", and through it all, he manages to stay juuuuust gentlemanly enough to praise the good work of fellow actors and those whom he depended upon. But surely his wife is just a little grossed out to know that in print and wide distribution is his rating her AAA+ in "screaming wallbangers", multiple orgasms, and "tongue action" a page flip away from a lovely baby picture of their daughter. Eeeyw!Fun reading for fans of the series or of 60's tv in general, but don't take it too seriously, fandom folks. I mean, he even admitted he never read Batman comics as a kid.

I saw this in a store back when it originally came out, circa 1995, and it looked like a pretty interesting read. But then it vanished since it had a pretty limited print run. Was glad to see it back in print on here again so I could finally order it. Quite informative. One does wonder if some of the things mentioned aren't slightly...uhm....exaggerated...but it makes for quite a fun read. And there's a happy ending and an upbeat tone all the way through, as he never whines and complains after "the gravy years" of his career have ended.

I had read all kinds of reviews about the ribald tales of Robin the Boy Wonder. The first 30 - 40 pages have Burt complaining about how many injuries he go filming the pilot episode of Batman. Not much juicy sexy text there. I went a little farther and Ward started to touch some on Adam West and his libido, but not near on the level that I was expecting.I put it down about a month ago and haven’t gotten back to it yet.VERY overpriced for this medium-sized, not so saucy paperback novel.
