1-24-1974 (Natural Causes)
Birth Name:
Bill Finger
While he was not really considered much for creating Batman, he was conned out of fame and fortune.

Bill Finger is the creator of Batman and is a great writter, who wrote the Detective comics issue that Batman guestarred in.

Bill had also created villans like the Joker and without his help, Bob Kane's fame and fortune would have never existed and Bob would have died an "average joe."

Bill Finger deserves more than he got and like most who now know the truth, they will think he was conned out of the things he deserved.









More It's a shame he died before this was realised, and hopefully DC comics will give him the credit that he deserves.

    As with the entry at wikipedia.com, the entry here at TV.com is giving a little more credit where credit isn't appropriately due. hide show

    Bob Kane, actually, was very much the creator of Batman. Later contributions, as happens in all comics, were from Bill Finger, and eventually by many others. There are several co-creators that could be assigned to any comic book character, particularly one as developed as Batman. Bill Finger was an eminently talented comic talent, but he wasn't the true creator of Batman. All comic characters eventually have other contributing creators in this sense, quite often in the original years, but the character of Batman was definitely the creation of Bob Kane. Bob Kane and Bill Finger, as with so many other great and legendary teams in comics, made explosive and exemplary team-up contributions to comics.
