	Bill Finger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bill Finger (February 8, 1914 - January 18, 1974) was an American writer who is best remembered (though not officially credited) as the co-creator of the character Batman with Bob Kane as well as the co-architect of the series' development.
		Finger was a very meticulous writer and as such, a slow one, leading editor Whitney Ellsworth to "suggest" that Kane replace him with someone else.
		Finger, like Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel, and many other creators during and after the Golden Age of Comic Books, would resent National for not paying him residuals on stories he wrote that were being reprinted in the 1960s and early 70s.

	Batman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, although only Kane receives official credit for the character.

		Finger, like Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel, and some other creators during and after the Golden Age of Comic Books, would resent National's denying him the money and credit that, he felt, he was owed for his creations.

	Giving Kane The Finger or “Holy Shenanigans, Batman!”
		From all indications, it was Bill Finger, Bob Kane’s writing collaborator at the time, who was ultimately responsible for the style of the Batman that went to press, effectively establishing the template for every Batman incarnation to come.
		It seems that Bill Finger is the one who designed most of the appearance and attributes of the character and his world-- including Batman’s sidekick, Robin.
		Finger struggled in vain for recognition; the definitive and prominent phrase "Batman created by Bob Kane" has instilled the common impression that the Batman archetype was primarily developed by Kane.

		Bill said, "Why not make him look more like a bat and put a hood on him, and take the eyeballs out and just put slits for eyes to make him look more mysterious?" At this point, the Bat-Man wore a red union suit; the wings, trunks, and mask were fl.
		Bill said that the costume was too bright: "Color it dark gray to make it look more ominous." The cape looked like two stiff bat wings attached to his arms.

		The first Bill Finger Award were presented later that night at the Eisners, finally giving a legend in comics at least some of the recognition he so rightfully deserved.
		Bill Finger was I believe the best writer of the golden age, and its kind of funny that to this day writers try to improve on his works and always come up short.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Finger Prints Bill thrown out! - Monday \| March 15, 2004
		The Bill, he explained, sought to "give permission that a person in custody may have his fingerprints taken if he so desires" and set out who would have the authority to take the fingerprints.
		The object of the measure, he said, was "to detect a person who is suspected, to find out if he was involved"; pointing out that, under existing regulations, fingerprints could not be taken unless the person being targeted was a habitual criminal, which, according to him, defeated the objective of the law.
		Minister for Social Welfare, Frank Pixley, in supporting the Bill, complained that the fact that fingerprints could only be taken with the authority of the Court was a hindrance, given the 'considerable delays' that this occasioned.

		I read your article that you sent to me, "If the Truth be Known,'' ''A Finger in Every Plot," and it seemed to me that Bill Finger has given out the impression that he and not myself created the ''Batman, t' as well as Robin and all the other leading villains and characters.
		I challenge Bill to repeat those statements in front of me. I am sorry that I was absent from the comicdom's convention so that I could have answered him.
		Now, Biljo, in all fairness to Bill, I will admit he was influential in aiding me in shaping up the strip, and there are certain characters Bill created, aside from my main characters' and many other characters that I created, including the Batmobile.
