Riddle me this: Who really created Batman? Every issue of the Batman comics list the author as Bob Kane, but that was not the whole truth. Bob Kane and Bill Finger were fans of comic books. They both came up with the idea for a new hero named Batman and it became one of the most famous super-hero characters of all time. Bob Kane became a very wealthy and famous man. Bill did not. In fact, he died virtually penniless. It takes a few years but author Marc Tyler Nobleman finally gets justice and recognition for Bill Finger.
