Last Saturday, August 20th, was a special day for Batman Fans. Well, ones who live near New Jersey anyway, ha! Michael Uslan, the Author of "The Boy Who Loved Batman", had a Book Signing Party at the Ashbury Park Convention Hall on the Boardwalk in NJ. Our Bat-Reporter Buddy "BatDave" was there and got some incredible photos! He also said that the event was a total blast & Mr. Uslan was a lot of fun to be around. He also said he was a very gracious person, that's cool.
The first photo shows the Author Michael Uslan in a 1966 TV Batmobile Replica Car. In fact, there were a few different Batmobiles made available for the event & tomorrow we're gonna post a special "Wallpaper Background" that's a really great pic of the 1989 Movie and 1966 TV Show Batmobile... TOGETHER! So, stay tuned for that.
Now, up next are 2 photos that feature a Costumed Batman Fan getting his book signed & the 3rd pic shows our Buddy "BatDave" ( he's the guy on the far-right ). Last, but not least, I wanna remind everybody about the book. I recently received a copy & will be doing a major "Bat-Book Review". Please look for that soon. Also, Thanks to BatDave for sharing this wonderful experience. I wish I could been there, arrgghh!

The Publisher, Chronicle Books, has just released this cool new BOOK PROMO VIDEO to start early hype for "THE BOY WHO LOVED BATMAN". This book was written by Michael Uslan who has been the Executive Producer for all the recent Batman Movies. We're talking "1989 BATMAN" all the way up to the next Bat-Film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. But, besides working in Hollywood, Michael Uslan is an extremely serious Batman Fan, and has been since early childhood, this is his story.
Here's an interesting video shot at New York Comic Con of an almost 1-hour speech by Michael Uslan, the Producer of the Batman Movies. This is part one ( 10 minutes ) & there are 5 total, that you can enjoy at YouTube. Basically, he shares his stories about being a HUGE Comic Book Fan & going to early Comic Book Conventions. In fact, he went to the VERY FIRST Comic Con in NYC back in the 1960's. Now the reason I'm posting this video is because he talks about Batman, a lot!
THE BOY WHO LOVED BATMAN, The True Story of How a Comics-Obsessed Kid Conquered Hollywood to Bring the Dark Knight to the Silver Screen. This is the new memoir written by Michael Uslan that will be coming out later ( No exact release date has been issued yet. But please stay tuned to the Bat-Blog because, "we're on it!" ). Now, some of you might think, "Hey, I recognize that name". Well, Michael Uslan has been the Movie Producer of all the BATMAN Movies. Yes, this is the guy responsible for bringing the Dark Knight to the big screen! In this new biography he shares the story of growing-up in the 1950's & totally being obsessed with comic books, especially Batman ones. He also shares his 10 year fight to get Batman to film. It sounds like a great story! Once we get more information we'll keep ya updated.
Important Side-Note:
A friend on Facebook just told me the release date will be around August 8th ( Thanks Torsten )
On March 21st, 2011, Michael Uslan will be a Special Guest Speaker at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. The event is FREE & if you're a film buff ( or Batman Fan ) you need to go! Of course Michael Uslan is the Executive Movie Producer responsible for bringing us the 1989 Tim Burton BATMAN movie & 2008's The Dark Knight. His speech will mainly be about his journey of creating his career to bringing Batman successfully to the big screen. He shares the principles that allowed him to persevere despite repeated rejection and encourages people to reach for their dreams and believe in themselves. It should be pretty interesting. Now, shown here is a Promo Video made by some College Students for the event.
