Robin isn’t going away quietly!
“Batman” actor Burt Ward, who played the Boy Wonder in the iconic 1960s TV show, flipped out after reading The Post’s exclusive report that DC Comics will kill off Robin.
DC comics will rue the day it writes off the world-famous sidekick, according to Ward.
“It’s a terrible choice to kill off Robin. Why bite the hand that feeds you?” the 67-year-old actor told celebrity gossip Web site TMZ.
“Robin should only die in people’s imaginations! Or in a state of primal ecstasy!”
Ward said Robin’s appeal is to younger fans, who see themselves more as the Boy Wonder rather than his mentor Batman.
“Every youngster realizes that he or she is too young to drive and they are not big like Batman,” Ward said.

“So, they all yearn to be Robin who gets to RIDE WITH BATMAN AND FIGHT WITH BATMAN!”
The Post, earlier this week, reported exclusively that DC will kill off Robin in a comic book published today.
And in an absolutely evil twist, Robin will die fighting a bad guy cloned from his genetic material.
