Just in time for Michael Keaton’s Bat-Return in THE FLASH!

On the 118th edition of Batman-On-Film.com’s THE BOF SOCIAL HOUR podcast, BOF’s Founder/EIC/Owner Bill “Jett” Ramey is joined by Senior BOF Contributor Ryan Lower (who hosts this episode) and Legacy (and current) BOF Contributor Justin Kowalski to discuss the “Batmania” that surrounded the release of Tim Burton’s BATMAN starring Michael Keaton back in 1989.  If you weren’t there to witness it, you have no idea how BIG it was!

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.
