Bill Finger will FINALLY get official recognition by DC for Batman

[DarkMagic]

DC Entertainment To Give Classic Batman Writer Credit in 'Gotham' and 'Batman v Superman' (Exclusive) - Hollywood Reporter

It's a START. He will get official credit on the Gotham TV show and Batman VS Superman when it hits the big screen. Wonder when (if) they will ever decide to give him his full credit on every. single. Batman comic book / game / media project going forward.

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," stated Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment. "As part of our acknowledgement of those contributions," Nelson continued, "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."

Copy-post from the Movie and TV section because this is the DC section after all -- and besides, if anyone deserves two threads about finally getting recognized for Batman, it's Bill Finger.

Good to hear. So many people that don't get credit for this stuff. There's a few on the the Marvel side too. Some people probably think Stan Lee created every character for Marvel and did everything on his own. [emoji38]
