I can't wait to see the saga of Bill Finger finally getting credit for co-creating Batman.

Looks good. But I don't have Hulu.

I think you can get a free month trial with Hulu. Just cancel before the month is over.

Bob Kane must have been a piece of work, there are so many apocryphal stories circulating that trash him.

The clown painting story probably being the most famous of them.

Just finished seeing it. Definitely a tear jerker to see a wrong made into a right finally giving Bill Finger credit for co creating Batman. I highly recommend watching it.

Excellent doc. Definitely shed a few tears at the end.

I thought this was pretty good. It was an interesting tale showing the writer's passion to make sure that someone finally recognized Bill Finger as Batman's co-creator. I forgot how ridiculous Bob Kane's gravestone is. One thing that I was surprised they didn't mention was they story about how Bob Kane supposedly got rights to lifetime Batman royalties by screwing Siegel and Schuster.

Still a good documentary and yes it got me teary eyed.

Damn, Kane fucked Finger over and maybe he could have done something about it before he died but as suggested in the doc. the lie became too big. I think the worst part is he didn't even help out Finger before he passed away. How hard would that have been to do?

Wow, Bob Kane does have a weird gravestone.

I'm going to check this out.

Pee on it.

Wonder what Bob Kane's Widow, Elizabeth Sanders thinks about all this?

I don't know if I'll ever get around to watching this, but what was Finger's contribution?

The Valeyard

Everything except the name "Bat-Man."

Truth. Kane was the biggest asshole in comics it appears, but smart in a mercenary way I guess. There's a good cartoon about this by Ty Templeton iirc.

I happen to have Hulu for a month and was hesitant to watch this considering I've never been a big Batman fan but I'm glad I did, it was really good.

Wow, if that's on point then that's quite a bit of work Finger did.

Trevor

Thanks Valeyard, and I fixed my silly autocorrect fail there.

Considering Bob Kane had a networth of $50 million dollars she's probably not caring a whole lot.

DC use to publish a comic called "REAL FACTS COMICS" in issue 5 they did a feature on how Bob Kane created BATMAN.
I haven't vomit in years but after seeing this article on CBR, I threw up.

I believe this old blog was posted here before and I'm sure most of you guys have read this already.
