Uslan is one of those crazy Hollywood stories: he was a lower-level DC employee turned college instructor and in 1979 he and his business partner bought the film & TV rights to BATMAN at a low price. Due to a contract the likes of which we don't see these days, he gets a producer credit and $$$ for every single Batman movie since the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton Batman in the 80s.
