But now I do!
And if you didn’t as well, now you do too!
Batman is now the subject of VICE TV‘s ICONS UNEARTHED hosted by Alexander Knox himself, Robert Wuhl.
Episode 1 was fantastic. It provides the Batman uninitiated with a little Batman history lesson, the 10-year process of getting a dark and serious live-action Batman movie made (and yes, BOF’s good friend Michael Uslan is in this one a lot), and ends right before filming commenced on BATMAN (1989). Here’s the official synopsis of episode 1 titled, “One of the Gargoyles Moved”…
An unexpected champion vowed to bring The Dark Knight to the screen, but it would take a visionary young director and a couple off-the-wall producers to get him there.
It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen about Batman on film, so I highly recommend watching it…and you can check out the first episode (of 6, I believe) HERE or via the player below. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
