RETROSPECTIVE: 2018 and BOF 20

2335

Wow, what a year.

I’ll be honest with y’all, in terms of my beloved BOF, 2018 has been all about 2 things for me…

The introduction of a newly designed BOF website — very proud of that.  And most importantly…

The 20th anniversary of BOF!

When I started BOF (well, “JettD60’s BATMAN 5 Page”) back in June of 1998, I certainly never expected to be writing what I”m writing now 2 decades later.  In fact, I never thought the site would amount to much of, well, anything.

But 20 years (and a half, being technical about it) later, here I am, still standing.

And what a 20 year run it has been!

BOF has allowed me to travel, meet a lot of people, and do things in the world of Batman and fandom that I never ever imagined.

Hopefully, BOF will be around for another 20 years, which would mean 2 things: I’ll still be alive and kicking (and friggin’ 73 years old!), and Warner Bros. is still be making Batman movies.

So a big ‘ol THANK YOU from me to my wife “Announcer Rachel” (for putting up with all of this!), past BOF contributors, our current “Team BOF” (with a special thanks to Rick Shew), Warner Bros., Michael Uslan, FJD, Christopher Nolan & Emma Thomas, and of course, all the BOF’ers who support BOF!

20+ years later, BOF is the best it’s ever been. Best fans. Best contributors. Best founder and editor-in-chief. 😉

I love BOF…and everything that goes with it.

Now, check out the “BOF 20 Tribute Video” in 2 parts below! – 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. 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.
