For as long as I can remember, Batman has been a central part of my creative life.

Ever since I was a little boy wearing a baggy “Batman For President” sweatshirt while riding my Uncle Bruce's Honda motorcycle and listening to Adam West's cheesy interpretation in reruns of the old Batman TV show, the purchase of the first edition of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s groundbreaking The Return of the Dark Knight Graphic Novel or the premiere of director Tim Burton’s Batman at the Westwood Theater in Los Angeles, this pop culture treasure has remained relevant for me.
