The co-creator of Batman is finally going to get the credit he deserves for his contributions to one of the world’s most popular superheroes.
Even though Bill Finger played a pivotal role in creating Batman, Bob Kean always got the credit for the character’s creation and only now is Finger going to get the credit he is overdue for his work. It has been announced that the second season of Gotham and next year’s hotly-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the first projects to give him credit, meaning that Kean won’t be getting sole credit for creating Batman anymore.
A statement from DC Entertainment on this change reads:
“DC Entertainment and the family of Bill Finger are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement that recognizes Mr. Finger’s significant contributions to the Batman family of characters. Bill Finger was instrumental in developing many of the key creative elements that enrich the Batman universe, and we look forward to building on our acknowledgement of his significant role in DC Comics’ history. As part of our acknowledgement of those contributions, we are pleased to confirm today 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.”
Thoughts on this news? Are you happy that Bill Finger is finally getting credit for helping to create Batman?
