This has been bugging me for the last two days but I still can't seem to remember the names of Batman and Robin. Not their real names but the names they used as their normal name on the show. I think Batman's was Ward (?). Anyone remember? -- Harley Green (216)349-2643 35525 Miles Rd. ...decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!harley Moreland Hills, Ohio 44022

That's close, but no cigar. Batman's secret identity is Bruce WAYNE! You guys must be getting "Ward" from that fact that Dick Grayson is Bruce Wayne's legal WARD.

Ah, the joys of misspent youth. I remember watching Batman every week (even twice for a while). Whenever they had occasion to mention the civilian identities of Batman and Robin, it was always: Millionaire Bruce Wayne, and His Youthful Ward, Dick Grayson. Charlie Martin asks: > Do you know what Dick Greyson's folks did for a living (until > offed by evil bad guys and/or gangsters?) I seem to recall stumbling across the origin story somewhere once (maybe \\Fantastic Origins of Comic Superheroes// or some similar title. I'm pretty sure they were circus aerialists, and I believe they got it while attempting to stop a gang from making off with the circus' receipts from a performance.

lute@abnjh.UUCP (J. Collymore) (10/27/84)
Dick Grayson was the only child of a circus couple, and was part of their
flying trapeze act known as "The Flying Graysons." Some crooks trying to
extort the circus owner, put acid on the trapeze ropes, and the ropes broke
during his parents part of the act. They had no net, and were killed while
young Dick looked on helplessly. Batman who had been there trying to get the
crooks saw the tragedy, but couldn't help. When he found young Dick, he
recounted how he too had lost his parents to criminals, and had vowed to
fight crime. Young Dick wished to take the same vow, and so Batman took him
on as apprentice, since he figured young Dick's acrobatic skills would give
the kid an edge, and he also liked the idea of having a dedicated proetege.
Jim Collymoremoriarty@fluke.UUCP (Jeff Meyer) (10/29/84)
No, no, no! Batman was actually millionaire industrialist Raymond Donovon,
and Robin was his ward, Ward Ward.
Batman was played by G. Gordon Liddy, and Robin by Carol Channing.

Adam west played Bruce wayne(Batman) and I think Burt Ward played Dick Grayson(Robin). This is a correction of a previous reply in which I incorrectly mix Robins names and said he was Dick Ward.
