#088 Holy hyperbole! It's Burt Ward's book!

from To The Batpoles! Batman 1966 · host Tim and Paul

Burt Ward's 1995 memoir Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights, while it does give us some insight into what it was like to go from nothing to superfame to typecast purgatory, is indisuputabily full of inaccuracies and hyperbole -- not to mention much more (in terms of both quantity and cringe-inducing detail) about his sexual conquests and misadventures than there is material of use to Batman '66 scholars. Why? Is this what the majority of fans want? Is this simply to be expected from a Hollywood memoir? And, what are Ward's true feelings about Adam West? While this episode's topic is a naughty, naughty book, Tim and Paul try to keep it, er, relatively clean. Don't miss Paul's examination of how this fits into the pattern of books written by stars, and Tim's suggested alternate titles for the book! PLUS: The Theee Bat version of the theme, and your mail!
