The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir ReviewAs a fellow Jersey guy and Batman fan, I was looking forward to Uslan's memoir and it was pretty much what I anticipated; a fun look at a comic book fan who was able to actually live his dream: Make a Batman movie. But not just any movie, but the revival of The Batman-The Dark Knight, a character beloved by real fans of the comics. Uslan takes us from his comic crazed childhood; a childhood filled with encounters with the comic book greats of the 60's, to his college years creating his own course on comic books while still an undergraduate at Indiana University with humor and a sense of whimsy. In these sections there is a touching look at Otto Binder, a wonderful creator whose life was filled with tragedy and a visit with DC comics which brings the place to life for this fan. The book drags a bit when he gets into the nuts and bolts of becoming a lawyer as a means to an end and the struggle to get the movie made lacks any kind of depth, but it's not that kind of book. It's just about the joys of being able to fulfill a dream told with an infectious and humorous style. (Of course I would have liked him to explain how the kind of terrible Batman Forever and the incredibly awful Batman and Robin Films came to be when he was still the executive producer, but I'll cut him some slack.)The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir OverviewIs 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 fully illustrated memoir, author Michael 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.
