Summary
The Batman movie producer reveals how his childhood love of comic books became a lifelong passion and dream job in this memoir.
Is any superhero cooler than Batman? He’s a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In this memoir, author Michael E. Uslan recalls his journey from early childhood fandom through to the decades he spent on a caped crusade of his own: to bring Batman to the silver screen as the dark, serious character he was at heart.
Uslan’s story traces his path from the wilds of New Jersey to the limelight of Hollywood, following his work as executive producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton’s 1989 re-envisioning to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Through it all, he helped to create one of the most successful pop-culture franchises of all time.

Honest and inspiring
The road not taken. A fascinating, warm, funny tale of how a comic book enthusiast channelled his passions into his life's work, and ushered in the first Batman movie (and it's subsequent sequels and reboots) along the way. Very enjoyable. Also speaks volumes with what is not said. No mention of the notorious Jon Peters and Peter Guber, and their involvement in the first Batman film, and how they attained producer credit over the author and his partner Mr. Melnicker. This may be saved for the sequel book, or its possible the author has chosen to say nothing if there is nothing good to say. I suspect the latter. Recommended.

Important and Remarkable
Uslan is such an important figure in The Batman lore. If it wasn't for him, the comic industry would probably look very different today. This memoir, is a must read/listen to any Batman fan. It's the story of a boy who made a vow and lead his life with his heart to do what he dreamed of. It's charming, even humorous in parts, and outstanding in scope how his life played out. It's an heroic tale of its own, as its almost unbelievable. But it also shows how both comics and dandomi have changed in his lifetime. It really is an incredibly story of an equally remarkable man.
