Dan Fogler is stepping out of the Wizarding World and into the Batcave.
The Fantastic Beasts actor will play longtime Batman executive producer Michael Uslan in a stage play based on Uslan’s 2011 memoir, The Boy Who Loved Batman. Nederlander Worldwide Productions is the lead producer.
The memoir, published in 2019, told his origin story as a comic book geek who went from teaching a comic book class as a junior at Indiana University in Bloomington to working at DC during summers. He then went on to law school and subsequently landed a job at United Artists. Next, he had a front seat to the rise of early comic book movies, specifically those featuring the Caped Crusader.
