[raises the Finger]

Hey, glad to see this thread is still around. If you want to vote for it for "Best Thread" head on over to Bat-World and vote for it in the 2004 BatmanHype! Awards.

If some of you newer members are interested in more details, check out the Finger link in my sig. I've got some articles, quotes, and excerpts from various media on Mr. Finger and what he did for the Batman mythos.

Lordsnipe, I read the articles and Kane says that Finger never really requested any credit for his work on the creation of Batman. Is that right?

 

[ultimatefan]

Oh, and he also said it was politics those days that only the artist received credit for the character´s creation.

Yeah, from what I understand, Finger was so hyped that he was making a living as a writer (his life-long dream) that he didn't care if he got credit. They never thought their creation would turn into a world-wide phenomenon, so there was no reason (in his mind) to ask for a by-line.

BUT, it would have been very generous, and just down right expected out of common courtesy, to give Finger the credit and respect that he so much deserved.

Defender of Gotham is currently running an editorial on Mr. Finger:

Hi there, I'm Jamie Coville the one that wrote the Bill Finger bit on CollectorTimes.com and the geocities link.

I'm doing a new history of comics webpage and would like to get a bigger scan of the color Finger pic to use on the page. Can anybody help?

Ask Marvel07, he's who I got the image from.

 

[comichistory]

I would but you can't e-mail somebody via their profile! I'm hoping he reads this or I'll have to start a seperate thread just to get his attention.

Wasn't there a sticky about not posting content from Wizard?

And most of those are upside down.

btw, the reason i didnt post these earlier was because when i used picturedot the images were to small.....i just found a new site a couple of days ago, and when comichistory pmed me for em, i just scanned em quick and got em on here....

 

[Captain America]

I just read the article from Wizard, that's very sad.. Finger really deserved something. But at least he died after living his dream.

It's good that post/present Batman writers know about Finger's devotion to the Batman mythos.

I know talking about the movie script is taboo, but I'd heard a rumor early on that the mayor's name was going to be William Finger. Any truth to that? I've not read it - so no spoilers!
