[Raises the Finger]
It's way past time to give credit where credit is due.

Bob Kane AND Bill Finger created Batman
Yeah, you're never gonna get a chance at doing anything Batman-related. Nor altering a byline.Timstuff said:If I ever get a chance at doing a Batman-related project professionally, I will insist that Bill Finger recieve co-creator credit!
Bathead said:What all you Kane-haters need to realise is that what he did, when he did it (1930's, 1940's) was a common everyday event in the publishing world, and was not considered a scummy thing to do at all. A publisher would hire someone like Kane, who was not a writer, to do a project, and he would hire a writer, like Finger,sit down with him and discuss the project, throw ideas back and forth, and thw writer would then go and write the story, article or book. Then the primary (Kane, in this case) would take the credit and get paid, then he would pay the ghost-writer (Finger) a standard fee. It was understood by the ghost, he would get paid for his work, but not get any profit or credit should the project be successful. Kane wasn't a scumbag, he was a product of his times. The worst thing that could be said is that he was savvy enough to make sure he got a piece of the pie should Batman succeed. I agree that Finger should get credit, but let's not build him up by tearing down Kane. I'm sure even Finger himself would tell you that.
Having said that ...
