Batman Quote by Michael Uslan
“I really became a hardcore Batman fan when I was eight years old. What was clear to me, the reason I liked him better than Superman or Spider-Man or the Hulk or whoever, was the fact that he was human, and I could identify with him, and I really believed in that character strongly. In my heart of hearts, when I was eight years old, I believed that if I studied real hard, and worked out real hard, and if my dad bought me a cool car, I could be this guy.”

![“They [comic books] are not a genre, they are not something to get hot and cold from one year to the next, they're the exact same thing as books and plays: they are a source of great stories and colorful characters.” quote by Michael Uslan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9b7/michael-uslan-31100_book_they-comic-books-are-not-a-genre-they-ar_550727.jpg)
![“There's so much technology [in the Batman movies] that's unbelievable and seems unreal, so it's hard trying to get the audience to believe that it all exists. So we got Morgan Freeman to tell them that it's real. And that is why Christopher Nolan is a genius.” quote by Michael Uslan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/645/michael-uslan-31100_audience_there-s-so-much-technology-in-the-batman_1717303.jpg)
