The news is all over Gotham and Retro Cool Nerd is proud to share the announcement.

Burt Ward, best known for playing Robin the Boy Wonder on the 1966 Batman show, will finally be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Burt had this to say

“I am incredibly honored to receive this fantastic award as part of television history. My sincerest thanks to everyone who contributed to this great honor and to the millions of Batfans worldwide who have loved the Caped Crusaders. Thank you! “

Check out this video of Burt receiving the incredible news from his publicist:

Ward has expressed hope that his star will be placed next to his friend of 50 plus years and co-star, Adam West. Retro Cool Nerd argues that West and Ward’s portrayal of Batman and Robin is the very best. Hero and sidekick teams would forever be compared to their characterization of the Dynamic Dou. It would be a sin to not have them together, protecting the streets of Hollywood.

Burt is officially in the Star class of 2020. The ceremony date and time will be announced soon so stay tuned to this network for updates and details. This intrepid journalist plans on making the arduous trek up Interstate 5 to cover the event, will you be joining us?
