'Batman' star Julie Newmar explains why Burt Ward was 'absolutely perfect' to play Robin

For this Catwoman, watching Batman and Robin's bond grow on set was pure purr-fection.

Julie Newmar, who played the feline villain in the '60s series "Batman," told Fox News Digital that Burt Ward was a real catch to play the Caped Crusader's trusty sidekick. She starred alongside Adam West as superhero Batman, and Ward as Robin the Boy Wonder.

"Give the producer William Dozier and 20th Century Fox credit for making the absolutely perfect decision to cast Burt Ward as Robin," said Newmar.

"He even annoyed Adam West a bit - not out of malice, but out of the sheer admiration one has for an adored [hero]."

"Batman, watch his copy-cat behavior," Newmar shared, referring to Ward perfectly keeping up with West.

"Burt is sublime as Robin," Newmar gushed. "The studio got him at a bargain weekly price, but Burt capitalized admirably on this lucky break."

Fox News Digital reached out to Ward, 80, for comment.

"I like all of them," Ward insisted to the outlet. "They all brought something different, and all did a great job."

"Now I'm not sure about today's world," Ward admitted. "But back then, it was the integrity and professionalism; everyone knew their lines perfectly. They were on time. They never missed a take, and it was just a level of precision. It was awesome to watch as a young actor."

After becoming fast friends on set, Ward and West supported each other over the years, long after the series came to an end.

"We could just sit down and not have anything to talk about, and within minutes, we were just laughing, reminiscing, talking about current events and remembering the good times," Ward recalled to Fox News Digital in 2023.

West died in 2017 at age 88. Ward now dedicates his time to animal rescue work.

Back in 2017, Newmar told Fox News Digital that nabbing the role of Catwoman was surprisingly simple.

Newmar cemented her femme fatale status in film, television and Broadway. She insisted that the title was practically made for her.
