This is as close as I have to a selfie with Nicole Kidman. I did officially take a picture with her, but not only did it not turn out, but it is lost to history. At the Emmys in 2012.
Back in college at the University of Michigan, my fraternity was paired with Lucy Liu's sorority for Greek Week. One of my friends partnered with Lucy for the Greek Week dance contest, and I shot this footage with the large side-loader VHS camera that I received from my parents for my 21st birthday. I was standing on top of the piano in our fraternity's living room. I did not make the connection until years later when a friend of mine was talking about the rehearsal, and I had an "I know I've seen this before" moment. Enjoy...
In June 2005, my wife and I were invited by friends of mine who worked at the time for DC Comics to their screening of the Christopher Nolan film, "Batman Begins". My wife was chatting up another woman in the line while we were waiting. When her husband stepped into line, I recognized him to be Neal Adams, one of the classic Batman artists in comics history. He is also responsible for getting Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster long-deserved payment and creators' credit for their creation of Superman. After chatting for a bit, I mentioned that I would be at Comic-Con in San Diego the next month. When I went to visit them in San Diego at their booth, they recognized me and were terrific. Neal signed my copy of "Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams"...
While in line for the movie, another gentleman walked up. Neal says "Hey Denny!" It was Denny O'Neill, who co-created Ras al Ghul. Neal and Denny both signed this copy of Batman (I didn't get them to sign it, but I do own it), which is the first official appearance of Two-Face since the Golden Age...
I also got Neal to sign my copy of Justice League of America #86...
Signed by Brandon Routh (Clark Kent/Superman) and Sam Huntington (Jimmy Olsen). In 2014, when Sam Huntington signed the poster at DragonCon, he asked me if there was anything special that I'd like him to write. After thinking for a moment, I asked him whether there was a little piece of trivia about the movie that not too many people knew about. With that, he wrote "I stole the bowtie", referencing Jimmy Olsen's trademark apparel. In 2017, when I brought the poster to Brandon Routh, I asked him to do the same thing. His inscription reads "I have a fake wig curl - that was never used".
