If you’re familiar at all with Marc Tyler Nobleman, it’s likely because his nonfiction kids’ book Bill the Boy Wonder was adapted as the Hulu documentary Batman & Bill. Both tell the story of Bill Finger, the long-forgotten co-creator of Batman. For decades, Batman stories were credited as “created by Bob Kane” but the truth is that Bill Finger wrote the first stories with the Joker, Catwoman, Commissioner Gordon, and the Batmobile. He named Gotham City and Bruce Wayne. He created Batman’s look. And he suggested that Batman get a sidekick. Eventually, in 2015, DC Comics announced that Bill would get credit alongside Bob Kane. And now Batman stories say, “Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.”
Venkman hitting on the girl was appalling at the time!
