Karen Whitfield

Traveling the world with Adam West and Burt Ward, Karen portrayed the Bronze Age Batgirl from 1978-1984, bringing a bit of fun and mischief to the stage events of the Dynamic Duo– in fact, it was a pretty amazing Dynamic TRIO. “You wouldn’t believe how during the stage shows, the little girl’s eyes would light up when a girl came on stage,” related Karen. “It was important to them. And it was important to me.” Now Karen is telling her never before told story in her new book, “Batdriven West”– The fascinating tale of Karen Whitfield when she met Burt Ward in 1977 and traveled as the Detective Comics Batgirl with Burt, Adam West, and the Caped Crusaders, working with DC Comics on her persona and more.
