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.
As played by Burt Ward, Robin has a cute, boyish face, clean-cut, brown hair, and a compact, athletic physique which fits perfectly with his character's acrobatic background. His colorful outfit, with his dark green mask, gloves, and booties, his bright, red shirt, his shiny, yellow cape, his tight, green panties, and his form-fitting, flesh-color leggings, certainly catches the audience's attention.
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 week's villain is the Joker.
In the first episode, the Joker uses a booby-trapped vending machine to ensnare and gas the Dynamic Duo. Then, he straps Batman and Robin to electric chairs which is scheduled to execute them when they get three lemons from a slot machine.
In the next episode, a power shortage spares the Dynamic Duo long enough for the police to rescue them.
Some of Robin's fans:
In the first episode, Robin's teen fans express interest in the Boy Wonder to Batman.
Favorite shots:
In the second episode, Robin needs to be rescued twice. First, the Boy Wonder is menaced by a shotgun in a booby-trapped jukebox. Later, in the middle of a fight, Robin is immobilized by the Joker's trick streamers.
