BOF Turns 24!

967

Each year at this time, I make it a point to acknowledge the anniversary of the origin of BOF.  I do this not to toot my own horn, but to say THANKS to all the folks who have made this possible for the last (almost) quarter-century.  So, as BOF marks its 24th anniversary during the last week of May/first week of June, I want to thank the following people…

BOF Senior Contributors: Ryan Hoss, Ryan Lower, Garret Grev, Peter Verra, Jo Anne Hyde, and of course, “Announcer Rachel”.

Current BOF Contributors: Javi Trujillo, Micah Ramey, James Armstrong, and Eric Holzmann.

Legacy BOF Contributors: Chris Clow, Paul Wares, and the late John Bierly.

Former BOF Contributors: Rick Shew, Justin Kowalski, Sean Gerber, Mark Hughes, Greg Bray, and others.

I also have to thank my friends at Warner Bros. from “back in the day”; Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan for giving me — a little ‘ol Batman fansite — unprecedented access during THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY era; and of course my friend, the great Michael Uslan without whom Batman on film, literally, wouldn’t exist.

Last and certainly not least, a HUGE thank you goes out to all the BOF’ers.  It blows my mind that many of y’all who have been with me since 1998 and the JETT D 60’s BATMAN 5 PAGE days!

Check out the history of BOF on our THE BOF CHRONICLES podcasts (CLICK HERE).  Senior BOF Contributor Ryan Lower hosts these shows and does a fantastic job.

Again to all, THANK YOU! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

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.
