75 YEARS! A Batman appreciation thread

[batfan08]

I'll be honest when I say that I wish someone had done something like this for Superman, but I thought it'd be cool to have a place devoted to the character. Discussing why we love the character, different events that are occurring, and so forth. Though Detective Comics #27, technically, was released on March 30, 1939, the cover date was May 1939, so, technically, I'm not late, either.

75 years of Batman! No one could have predicted the longevity and the continued relevance of this comic book hero that has become a cultural icon when my grandfather, Bill Finger, collaborated with Bob Kane back in 1939. My grandfather has never been properly credited as the co-creator of Batman although was an open secret in the comic book industry and is widely known now. It is now my time to come out of the shadows and speak up and end 75 years of exploitation of my grandfather, whose biggest flaw was his inability to defend his extraordinary talent. Due to what I feel is continued mistreatment of a true artist, I am currently exploring our rights and considering how best to establish the recognition that my grandfather deserves.
