@MackyMackn I know that Detective Comics #27, which came out on the 2nd of May 1939, featured Batman’s first appearence. And I was talking about Bill Finger, and how he couldnt have created every aspect of Batman. Examples being Frank Miller, Grant Morrison and Alan Moore, helped mature Batman greatly. And dont bitch about Bob Kane, without his original sketchings and ideas, Bill Finger wouldnt have had the chance to produce Batman entirely.

“‘virtually’ every aspect” quite the difference. Your reading comprehension skills are lacking. Bob Kane made millions because of Finger and Finger died in poverty, so fuck Kane.

@MackyMackn Uh-huh, your basically criticising a 14-year old right now. You have a damn good point, and I can understand from where your coming from, but as I said earlier you can’t have one without the other. Without Bill Finger we wouldn’t have had the starting aspects of batman, but without Kane’s idea and drawings it wouldn’t have even gone to a storyboard.
Can I ask: Is there some petition to have Bill Finger credited for Batman, I’ve looked through issues and haven’t seen his name at all

I miss this art deco Gotham. Miss this music. Miss the Animated Series. Miss being able to understand what Batman’s saying.

Well, Finger gave Batman the cape (originally he had wings) and made his eyes all white, but that’s it. It’s interesting to know that neither of them came up with Batman’s parents being murdered.

huh? Finger wrote Batman’s origin of his parents being murdered. I don’t think you really know anything, do you?

No, actually it was Gardner Fox.

Ok. Where’s your source? Gardner Fox created a few gadgets, that’s all.

Bill Finger is getting his due today. Finger is always mentioned as the cocreator by comic historians and journalists. But because of legalities only Bob cane is the official creator with the licensed and official Batman products.

Okay, I did some research, and I guess you’re right. You win.

The old Batman movies are the best (except for batman and robin with mr freeze). When I see the year and still this movie gives me the thrills I can say only – HUGE SUCCESS.

the art deco was cool, but really got out of hand, its actualy called German Expressionism. 1920’s Norferatu was one of the best of the genre, although there were other awsome silent movies of the era.

Bullshit at 4:51 mark. That was Bill finger and Jerry Robinson that created the Joker.
Kane fucked over Finger.

@nightwing01 thats always been controversy but no one can really say the story is always changing… bob told bill about the idea from the the man who laughs and he drew it after… then theres ones that bill and jerry did it…then ones that bill alone did.. bob always said bill drew it but takes credited for the idea … like stan lee he never designed the characters and to be honest spiderman wouldn’t have been a big success if drawn diferently yet he gets all the credit… its a tough one
