There’s a new documentary coming out on Hulu called Batman and Bill. It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to find out the mysterious and strange origins of the Batman comic. While Bob Kane is as big a name as there is in the comic book world, he was technically a co-creator of the Batman comics. Though Kane got all the credit, another man by the name of Bill Finger also had a hand on the creation of the Dark Knight. Oddly enough however, Finger’s name is never mentioned as a creator. According to Geek Tyrant
Batman and Bill will tell the story of Batman’s forgotten creator and the controversy surrounding the credit between Bob Kane and Bill Finger. In case you’re wondering what the Batman universe might look like without Finger’s involvement in the creation of the universe we wouldn’t have characters like Robin, Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Gotham City and Batman.
So yeah, Finger was kind of a big deal which is why it’s so strange that he was barely if ever mentioned as a creator of the series.
Check out the trailer for the documentary below:
