Daily Inspiration Quote by Burt Ward

"Even in Los Angeles, where we lived, when we would date somebody or go out with them, if we went out with somebody else the next night, we often found that women were banging on our windows while we were bedded down with other women!"

About this Quote

Ward’s anecdote is doing double duty: it’s a boast disguised as a complaint, and a bit of self-mythmaking sold as behind-the-scenes honesty. By setting it “even in Los Angeles,” he invokes the capital of casualness and still insists the attention was so intense it became invasive. The line’s engine is escalation: dating becomes “go out,” “somebody else the next night” becomes a breach of an unspoken contract, and then the punchy, lurid image arrives - “women… banging on our windows” while they’re “bedded down with other women.” The detail is cinematic on purpose; you can almost hear the sitcom timing.

The subtext is a particular vintage of male celebrity storytelling, one where sexual access is framed as both proof of cultural power and evidence of being besieged by it. Women appear as a collective force - jealous, irrational, external to the “we” - while Ward and his unnamed companion are cast as passive recipients of desire, even as the story casually admits to serial dating. It’s the classic move: center male freedom, dramatize female consequence.

Context matters. Ward is forever tethered to Batman’s glossy 1960s fame, and this quote reads like an attempt to reclaim an adult edge from a role associated with camp innocence. The shock value is the point: it updates Robin’s image by smuggling in a Playboy-era afterlife, turning nostalgia into a salacious credential. The intent isn’t confession; it’s brand maintenance through scandal-adjacent charisma.
