Wrote an autobiography, “Boy Wonder: My Life In Tights”, in which he described his experiences on the set of the television series Batman (1966), his relationship with co-star Adam West and his sexual escapades with his fans.

When asked to give a speech at Harvard about his role on Batman (1966), he brought the original costume, said to be valued at a half-million dollars. Some students came up to him dressed as security guards and told him they would keep the costume safe. Then in the middle of the speech, one student stood up and asked, “When is a costume not a costume? When it’s stolen.” The lights dimmed and the students grabbed the costume and made off. After snapping pictures with one another in the cape, they later called Ward and gave the costume back. The ringleader of the gang? Harvard Lampoon editor Conan O’Brien.
