When asked to give a speech at Harvard about his role on "Batman" (1966), he brought the original costume, said to be valued at a half-million dollars. Some students came up to him dressed as security guards and told him they would keep the costume safe. Then in the middle of the speech, one student stood up and asked, "When is a costume not a costume? When it's stolen." The lights dimmed and the students grabbed the costume and made off. After snapping pictures with one another in the cape, they later called Ward and gave the costume back. The ringleader of the gang? Harvard Lampoon editor Conan O'Brien.

He used a total of 352 "holy" words throughout the entire 120 episodes of "Batman" (1966).

During his run as Robin in "Batman" (1966), one influential Roman Cathoic organization was outraged by the fit of Robin's tights. He wore one and even two supporters at one point but they were still not pleased.

It has been suggested that Ward was given that screen name by the producers of the "Batman" (1966) TV series because his character, "Dick Grayson", was Bruce Wayne's ward. Ward says he chose the screen name, himself, as it was his mother's maiden name.

Best known by the public for his starring role as Robin on "Batman" (1966).

Ward has said that he was considered for the role, that went to Dustin Hoffman, in The Graduate (1967). However, his connection with the "Batman" (1966) TV series prevented him from being considered seriously for the role.
