Legendary Hollywood producer Benjamin Melniker, who helped bring Batman to the realm of movies, has passed away at the age of 104.
The news was shared in a Facebook post from Melniker's long time collaborator Michael E. Uslan.
"It is with such sadness that I tell you of the passing of my Batman partner, the legendary Benjamin Melniker (1913-2018)," he wrote.
"'Legendary' is the only word capable of describing the man who started work at MGM in late 1939 and came to be known as 'The MGM Lion' for his forcefulness in negotiating the deals for the studio while building his reputation for integrity at the same time," Uslan wrote. "It was Ben who taught me, 'The only thing you get to take with you when you die AND leave behind is your good name.'"
