Scientists discovered an alternate universe where everything was the same, with one difference: in 1966, Burt Ward did not win the role of Robin in Batman. Instead, the part went to Charles Manson, in this world an actor, not a messianic murderer. Upon hearing the news, Burt Ward was furious. Manson’s too old to play Robin, he said. He would have been thirty-two in 1966! Robin is supposed to be youthful! Ward’s grandchildren shook their heads. Granddad, they said, Relax. You’re still the Robin of this world. Ward cried, That’s not enough! I should be Robin enough for the Universe!
