Benjamin Melniker was an American film producer and financier. Melniker was co-rights holder to the Batman brand in film and direct-to-video releases, credited as Executive Producer of all Batman movies made between 1989 and 2018, along with Michael E. Uslan.
In 1979, Melniker was approached by Michael E. Uslan at United Artists. Uslan proposed to him a more serious and dark movie project about Batman, and convinced him that the character could really work in a film, thus reinventing the whole genre of superhero movies. Melniker was impressed by Uslan’s ideas, and decided to proceed immediately to make a deal with DC Comics and get an option on the film rights, including animation (but excluding television), for Batman and all the characters attached to him.
On October 3, 1979, Melniker and Uslan concluded the agreement with DC, and founded Batfilm Productions, Inc.
