Bill “Jett” Ramey | BOF’s Founder/Editor-in-Chief
Born, raised, and still living in the great state of Texas, Bill “Jett” Ramey is the founder and editor-in-chief of BATMAN ON FILM.
Jett created the site in 1998 for one reason and one reason only: Lobbying for the long-term continuation of the Batman film franchise and the production of quality Bat-Movies.
Via the 1960s BATMAN TV series and the Denny O’Neil/Neal Adams and Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers Bat-Comics of the 1970s, Jett was reeled in and became a lifelong fan of The Dark Knight.
Jett’s favorite BOF moments include visiting the sets of THE DARK KNIGHT in Chicago (2007) and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in Pittsburgh; having lunch with producer Michael Uslan at San Diego Comic Con; attending the New York premieres of THE DARK KNIGHT, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and MAN OF STEEL; and receiving a hand-written thank you letter from director Chris Nolan.
Jett’s favorite Batman films/animated movies/animated series/comic book stories/graphic novels and games are…
- BATMAN ’89
- THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY
- BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM
- BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD
- “The Joker’s Five-Way Revenge” from BATMAN #251
- BATMAN: YEAR ONE
- BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY
- THE BATMAN
Besides following all incarnations of The Caped Crusader, Jett enjoys spending time with his wife (AKA “Announcer Rachel”) and family, working out, traveling, Elvis Presley, Rock-n-Roll, The University of Texas Football, and The Dallas Cowboys. He was a longtime (and now retired) high school/junior high school football coach and history teacher in Texas.
