These are questions I get ALL the time xD and I guess I'm getting tired of answering them over and over again (unless I can tell you're serious then I'll blab forever :D) 

What age were you when you go into Robin? 

I was 10 or 11 years old. 

How in the WORLD did you ever find this Batman to begin with? 

Heh. My parents actually introduced me to it, see one Sunday morning before church my siblings and I were fighting over what to watch on TV. Since we couldn't decide Mom and Dad took the TV control to decide for themselves. I believe it was meant to be some sort of punishment but as you can see it was anything but! ^^; I remember sitting there listening to my sister and brother complain and looking at the TV engrossed in what Catwoman was doing to Robin. When we had to go to church Robin was on the ground poisoned by her cat and my mom and dad dragged me away with me horrified. I was actually more concerned about whether Robin was ok during the entire service. 

Wasn't it hard growing up and being so obsessed with Robin/Burt Ward? 

...well..o_o I'm clinically OCD..so you tell me! LOL. I duh know, it's normal now and it's not as bad as it use to be. When I was younger it was a whole different story. Life wasn't so hot for the girl who liked Robin. -_- I really wish Burt could have been there to tell them all off for making fun of me. I actually threatened one time that I'd call Robin to come beat them up if they didn't stop...that didn't go so well as you could probably guess. So many instances where I showed my love for Robin and everyone including the *teachers* laughed at me. A few examples: 

               a. School spirit week in 6th grade, it was TV Show day and we were supposed to come dressed as our favorite TV show person- so naturally I came as Robin, full costume mind, mask and cape and all. I got laughed right into the office and had to call my parents in tears to bring me clothes. 

               b. Again in 6th grade at this time it was cool to have stuff on your desk, like pretty erasers and little pompoms so I decided to join the fun and took my mini Robin action figure out as a "mascot" for my desk. I had to use the restroom and when I came back he was gone. I told the teacher and she fussed at me for having it out to begin with and told me not to do it again (this was after she rescued him from two bullies who had taken him hostage >_>). Nearly in tears I nodded and never took it out again. T_T

How old are you anyway? You sound really young. O_O

Ok...so er I'm kinda young but I'm completely loyal :-D no other actor gets my full attention, promise. Ok Ok, enough beating around the bush, I'm 21 years old. I was born in 1986. 

Where do you get all of your pictures/books/magazines/etc from? 

It's not easy. It's always searching for a needle in a haystack. The best place to go for the books/magazines is Half.com, ebay or your local antique shops. Finding Burt though is going to be a challenge >_> you will find tons of Adam West but very little Burt Ward *grumble*. So the best way to ask for Burt is to ask for Adam. Typically when you ask for Adam you can find some really NICE treasures that have Burt in them/on them. 

Another tactic I use is to let my friends and family know that I am willing to buy the random trinkets if they find them. For me of course I'm picky as heck, so if Burt isn't on it I don't get it, but still. If you tell your family for instance, "I will take any old Batman things, preferably with Robin on them but I'll take surprises any time!" then they know to look out for things! I've gotten tons of books and nice surprises from my Aunts and Uncles on this subject! (^_~ and you guys know who you are! :D and I love them!)

Also- NEVER GIVE UP. You give up and you will miss something big! Never be afraid to ask the clerks or anyone who is selling Batman stuff. I ask ALL the time on ebay "Is Robin in this one?" 

My pictures come from boredom on google! :D Google image search is your BEST friend! I put in "Robin, Batman", "Dick Grayson", "Burt Ward" all the time! And if I get a little adventurous I'll search "Batman" or "Adam West". I have found MANY good Burt Ward Pictures in the Adam West Galleries! :-D

Wow! You made wallpapers and icons! ...Why?

Simple, I'm tired of not having Burt Ward Graphics! :D Sooo I made my own! Mawahahah! 

How did you get the episodes on DVD

A very good friend helped me get them off my tapes (well his tapes. They were in better condition >_<) 

Can you make me a copy?

Legally I can't, but I suggest searching the Batman Board and Ebay for them! Unless Warner Brothers gets over their crap it will never be released on DVD so bootlegs is all you're going to get! (Don't get me started on their issues -_- they have already received a petition and a 5 page email from me regarding this issue)

How come you don't have any galleries of Adam West? I thought this was a Batman site?

Ok, it is a Batman site but if you haven't figured out by now -_- it revolves around ROBIN and BURT WARD. There are plenty of group images that Adam is in just none of him solo. xD

And this is no bad words towards Mr. West, I just feel there is already to much publicity for him as it is, its time for the Robin fan girls to step up and let Burt take the spot that is rightfully his. xD

All your caps are of Robin- what is going on?

Ok...o_o er not ALL are of Robin. >_> Actually I tried to be fair in the caps from the DVDs so give me credit. *sigh* So maybe I cheated a bit and got PLENTY of Burt Ward ^^; but it's a site to him so I'm allowed HAHAHA.

How do you get all of these old 40s and 50s comics! Didn't they cost a TON?

Ok here is another secret of mine.

1. BUY THE ARCHIVES! :-D or the new thing is the chronicals!

2. Get dirty and search through the boxes at the comic book shop. (I scare the crud out of the clerks when I go. I'm very polite but I'm on a mission and woe be to anyone who gets in my way! Imagine three very big men scared of a skinny 113 pound 12-13 year old GIRL demanding Burt Ward Robin xD hahaha. )

3. Don't be afraid to buy damaged comics. I have three 50s comics that were marked down 10 dollars because of a TINY spot in the top corner "water damage" the rest of the book was fine but that one spot. If you're not planning on selling (like me) it won't matter as long as the damage isn't keeping you from reading it!

4. If you are like me and obsessed with Robin feel free to take a comic up to the clerk and ask (nicely) if he/she can look and see if Robin is in it. I've done this for so many comics and wound up buying alot of them that I wouldn't have otherwise.
