We have both of them to thank for Batman, but Finger should get way more credit. He and Jerry Robinson created most of the characters and things we love about Batman. But like Neal Adams and a few others much later on, Finger created the Dark Knight and we eventually rid ourselves of the campy crap too. Kane may have given Finger the shaft, but most real fans know that Bill gave Kane the...finger.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837974557276949794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-82032359389094540652017-07-23T16:17:00.506-04:002017-07-23T16:17:00.506-04:00it would be nice if they'd acknowledged that B...it would be nice if they'd acknowledged that Bill Finger was the genius who put a mother superior's habit on the Shadow.

There is further evidence that he is the villain that turned DC against Siegel and Shuster. Kane is Batman's greatest and most sinister rogue.AirDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888950508297936735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-71047884347891943362014-10-01T05:23:45.245-04:002014-10-01T05:23:45.245-04:00Amen!Amen!dave goodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620811016040397974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-89659603597284405092014-03-17T10:44:15.058-04:002014-03-17T10:44:15.058-04:00Real Fact Comics?This story is as real as their 19...Real Fact Comics?This story is as real as their 1947 story about man landing on Mars in the year 1960.(This was in Real Fact #6.)Richard Rankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117175619228209421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-85032594117730857902013-09-10T20:59:59.589-04:002013-09-10T20:59:59.589-04:00I read somewhere that Kane's contract stated t...I read somewhere that Kane's contract stated that DC legally had to list Kane as Batman's sole creator.ScorpioSteelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390806853538691736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-70704045082363770442012-03-31T04:03:12.086-04:002012-03-31T04:03:12.086-04:00The bizarre thing is that Kane seems genuinely to ...The bizarre thing is that Kane seems genuinely to have convinced himself that if he work was presented in his name then, in all important respects, he'd effectively done it himself.<br /><br />When last I knew, DC was maintaining the core myth — that Kane had created the Batman. With Kane gone, I don't know why they don't acknowledge that Bill Finger (drawing heavily on the Shadow and at least somewhat on the Black Bat of <i>Black Book Detective</i> and on Rinehart and Hopwood's Bat) created the Batman.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489622848939498705.post-21253934177923796022012-03-07T14:11:47.299-05:002012-03-07T14:11:47.299-05:00I'm amused that this was published in Real Fac...I'm amused that this was published in Real Facts Comics.
