Holy injustice! Why co-creator of Batman deserves credit
[...] only a few years ago, Bob Kane was credited as the sole creator of Batman.
Kane did have an idea for a character named the Batman, but when he started working on it on commission for National Allied Publications, which became DC Comics, Kane asked Finger to help him refine the character.
Initially, the Batman wore a red-and-black outfit, with a fixed-wing set of bat wings and a small eye mask.
Finger created the character’s cowl, changed the color scheme to the more nocturnal black and gray, and exchanged the wings for a scalloped flowing cape.
Nobleman was determined to get posthumous credit for Finger, but given the value of the Batman franchise, no one was rushing to right a long-standing wrong.
