<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This second edition includes a special foreword and afterword by Uslan, bringing us up to date on everything Batman.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Meet the man whose life-long quest to reclaim the true, cool soul of Batman wonderfully transformed today's comic book movies. Growing up outside of Asbury Park, New Jersey, Michael Uslan was obsessed with comic books. 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 legendary 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. Undeterred by Hollywood's initial lackluster response, after a ten-year human endurance contest in which every major movie studio turned him down, Uslan went on to become Executive Producer on every modern Batman film, beginning with Tim Burton'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 imaginative power of comic book heroes and the tenacity of the New Jersey boy determined to bring one of them to life. This second edition includes a special foreword and afterword by Uslan, bringing us up to date on everything Batman.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This autobiography, with its account of Michael Uslan's personal passion, purpose, and persistence, offers an intriguing and engaging read... Despite differences in interests, one person's passion can inspire another person's pursuits.</p>--Travis Langley "Psychology Today"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Michael E. Uslan is Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise. He was the first instructor to teach an accredited course on comic book folklore at any university.</p>
