Jason Marsden credited as playing...
Burt Ward • Robin
- Adam West: [after meeting on the set for the first time] Why don't we take some time and discuss our approaches to the role?
- Burt Ward: Well, I just plan on saying my lines.
- [sees looks of surprise on faces of West and director]
- Burt Ward: Is there more to it than that?
- Adam West: [trying to put it delicately] Uhhh, well, yeah. Maybe a little
- [Burt's auditionin for the part of Robin]
- Burt Ward: Uh, Robin?
- Casting Director: Yeah, Batman's sidekick. You know the comic book character?
- Burt Ward: You're kidding? I used to pretend I was Superboy when I was three. I'd be speeding around on my tricycle.
- Casting Director: This is your resume? There's not a lot here. Actually uh, there nothing here.
- Burt Ward: Yeah, uh i really didn't know what to list. I have special skills. I uh, I can ice skate. I've been skating in shows since I was two, world's youngest professional ice skater.
- Casting Director: Ah.
- Burt Ward: Uh, I have a black belt in Taekwondo, I can break boards with my bare hands, breaks too, in fact... uh...
- Casting Director: Uh, anything else?
- Burt Ward: I can read 30, 000 words per minute.
- Casting Director: Not a lot of call for that.
- Julie Newmar: Why would you want to rewrite this? The script is brilliant the way it is.
- Robert Butler: Well, we're not talking about a major change, Julie, just the idea that she falls in love with Batman.
- Julie Newmar: I'll do it however you want, but I really think it's a big mistake. Catwoman is, well, she's just--she's wicked. There's no room for love in her life. She teases him. She leads him on. She's a cat.
- [She rises from her chair and walks over to Adam, teasing him]
- Julie Newmar: She purrs but she has claws. She nuzzles but she bites. And she knows this is the one way to get to Batman: through his suppressed emotions. It's a sensual approach like a dancer, the way she moves, the way she tempts him but she never loses her heart and she never, ever sleeps with him.
- Adam West: Never?
- Julie Newmar: See what I mean?
- Burt Ward: Maybe--maybe she should try tempting Robin, too.
- [laughter]
- Robert Butler: Adam, okay with you?
- Adam West: She certainly causes curious stirrings in my utility belt.
- [laughter]
- Julie Newmar: So, where were we?
