Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman,
the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire
playboy Bruce Wayne. Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick
Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.
Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo,
which their opponents often seek to exploit. Robin is also
cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent
crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman. He is often in trouble
and in need of rescue.
This
blog is based upon the 1960s Batman television series and the episodes

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".
