Michael Uslan of Batman Fame Visits Virginia Tech
Last week, Michael Uslan, the executive producer of every Batman movie since the first one, was on the Virginia Tech campus to speak. I was skeptical on why he was in Blacksburg, because we never get big names. But I went anyway, to see what he had to say.
