Guess who Burt Ward wants to play Affleck’s Robin
When asked if there were any young actors he’d like to see take on the role, Ward answered with a confident yes.“Absolutely,” he said. “Me!”
The actor continued, saying, “Let me tell you something. You remember when Star Trek
ended, and Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner got all those star trek
movies? They were very successful, and those guys were older.”“You didn’t care that they were older. You loved them,” Ward
explained. Of course, he’s not wrong. Many of those Trekkies had grown
up with Nimoy and Shatner, a fact that helped them overlook the actors’
aging visages and embrace their characters for what they were.Ward hopes he might get the chance to put back on Robin’s tights one
day much like how Shatner donned his infamous gold Starfleet uniform.
“Could you imagine Adam and I now fifty years later going to put on our
tights?” he asked.
What do you think? Should Burt Ward ever be allowed to don the epic tights again?
