 Michael E. Uslan is the executive producer of the highly successful “Batman” film franchise that began in 1989, featuring Michael Keaton as the caped crusader and portraying Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The blockbuster movie, directed by Tim Burton, was a real game-changer that opened the floodgates for superhero fantasy films to flourish and in the process transcended the genre forever. Since that time Uslan, with his long-time mentor and co-producer Benjamin Melniker, have gone on to produce “Batman Returns” (1992), “Batman Forever” (1995), “Batman & Robin” (1997) and “The Dark Knight” trilogy which started in 2005 with “Batman Begins”, “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises”. The latter two films are two of the top-grossing films in history.
