Batman Update!

I folks, Pat here, with a Batman update! A while back I wrote a post about Bill Finger, who is probably the man most responsible for the creation of the fictional character, Batman!

DC Comics has announced that they've reached some sort of agreement or awareness or deal with the Bob Kane estate or — well, I don't know what it is — so that "Bill Finger will be receiving credit in the Warner Bros. television series Gotham beginning later this season, and in the forthcoming motion picture Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

I hope they give him full credit, and don't just acknowledge the contributions of Bill. When I was a kid, I loved Bob Kane. But as I grew older, I learned that Bob was a notorious self promoter, who embellished stories, and outright lied about how he came to create Batman. Bill finger, on the other hand, was a shy person, who just hung back in the shadows, living a quiet life with his family!

Check out the earlier story for details on Bill's contribution's to the Batman legend!
