#6: Disparity in Salaries
During the iconic Batman series, Adam West and Burt Ward dedicated themselves to filming 34 episodes each season, often working twice a week to meet the demanding schedule. Despite their shared workload, Ward faced the discrepancy of earning a significantly lower salary, receiving just $350 weekly compared to his colleague’s larger paycheck.
This wage disparity shed light on the unequal compensation practices prevalent in the entertainment industry at the time, highlighting the challenges faced by actors, even in successful and widely acclaimed productions like ‘Batman’.
