The Boy Who Loved Batman New Edition

Meet the man whose life-long quest to reclaim the true, cool soul of Batman wonderfully transformed today's comic book movies. He'd be the first to grab the latest issues off the shelves of the three local comic book stores, including four copies of the now ledendary Fantastic Four#1. His favorite superhero was the brooding, crime-fighting vigilante, Batman. Despising the campy 1960s TV show, Uslan became determined to bring the real Batman - dark, serious, burdened by a tragic past - to the silver screen. Undetered by Hollywood's initial lackluster response, Uslan went on to become Executive Producerr on every modern Batman film, beginning with Bruton's widely hailed Batman in 1989 to Christopher Nolan's celebrated Dark Knight trilogy and well beyond. Warmly told and inspiring, Uslan's remarkable story is a testament both to the profound imanginative power in comic book heros and the tenacity of the New Jersey boy determined to bring one of them to life. This second edition includes a special foreward and afterword by Uslan, bringing us up to date on everything Batman.
