A BOF BAT-POLL | THE BATMAN’s Comic Book Influences

2152

If you’ve been following the development of Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN, it’s well known that BATMAN: YEAR ONE, BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN, and BATMAN: EGO were big inspirations to/influences on the writer/director while crafting the story for his film.

In fact, DC Comics is putting out a box set of these classic Batman stories — THE BATMAN BOX SET — the week of the film’s release as a tie-in.  I even wrote an op-ed/article doing some “educated guessing” (CLICK HERE for that article) as to what aspects of each we’ll see in THE BATMAN and podcasted about it too (CLICK HERE for BOF SOCIAL HOUR 29).

So, which one of these classic Bat-stories are you most seeing — as an influence/inspiration — in THE BATMAN?

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
