While walking the halls of TAPCO School in the Bronx two weeks ago, Teaching Artist Roberto Williams spotted 6th grader Wilfredo Pena and his mother, waiting to meet with school administrators in the school's main office.
Wilfredo's resemblance to comic book character Dick Grayson / Robin The Boy Wonder immediately caught Mr. Williams' attention. The young student and his parent were surprised but thrilled at the un-expected request to assist on "Fathers of the Dark Knight", and they looked forward to the opportunity to do so.
Earlier today, young Mr. Pena finally made the most of that opportunity by performing a dramatic read from DC Comics' "BATMAN: Full Circle" (published in 1991). Afterward he performed a dramatic Boy Wonder improv alongside Andrew Davis Feliz (as The Batman). In the coming weeks, Wilfredo will serve as a Robin The Boy Wonder stand-in during preliminary costume design, fabrication, and fitting.
A HUGE thanks goes out to Wilfredo's mother Marteen, and grandmother Maria Oteri for all of their assistance!
