Florida's quote of the day
"Someday, I will show the world the true Batman."
-- Michael Uslan
Michael Uslan's origin story goes something like this.
The 73-year-old grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey with supportive parents who let him fill the garage with so many comic books they couldn't fit their cars inside. He loved the caped heroes and their conniving villains. But he loved Batman the most.
This was in the 1960s, when Adam West's iconic turn as Batman on TV turned the character into a "Kapow!" kidder. Uslan wasn't a fan. Batman was supposed to be serious. One day in 1966, he made a declaration to two friends in his basement: "Someday, I will show the world the true Batman."
Uslan went on to attend the first comic convention in New York City, teach the world's first accredited comic book course at Indiana University, get a job at DC Comics and help create the 1989 movie "Batman."
And this month at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, Uslan and a national team of producers, writers and actors premiered "The Boy Who Loved Batman."
