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.

Good memoir if not a bit ramble-y. (Ok, a LOT ramble-y.) This part of the book's description made me think I was going to hear more about the making of the movies "following his work as executive producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton’s 1989 re-envisioning to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises." We hear a fair amount about 1989 Batman but hardly anything about any of the others. Also, 20% of the book is epilogues -- a real slog of a way to finish.

This isn't a bad book -- many parts are very good, he did lead an interesting early life, is a fine story teller, and is a fun narrator. The book could have used a lot of revisions though.
