Michael will be providing a keynote address and moderating the legends panel. The reason he was consistently given: Batman was from the funny pages and wasn’t supposed to be taken “seriously.” Ten years later, Batman was the highest grossing film of the year, breaking numerous box office records and spawning a genre of films adapted from comics. He was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. In 1979, Uslan secured the film rights to Batman from DC Comics. A media storm ensued, improbably leading to a job at DC Comics for Uslan. The class took an academic approach to the folklore of comic books. While attending Indiana University, he successfully created and taught the world's first accredited college course on comic books. Knowing he loved comics and films, he set about creating a career. Born into a blue collar family in New Jersey, Uslan was instilled at an early age to find work to be passionate about. Uslan's start in the world of comics was as unlikely as his success in bringing Batman to the theaters. Less well known is that the first Batman film was the culmination of Uslan's more than two decades of work to bring a serious, dark version of the character to the big screen. Michael Uslan is best known as the originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie series, starting with Tim Burton's 1989 film, and continuing to 2008's box office record-breaking The Dark Knight.
