It’s about damn time. DC Entertainment is finally going to give Bill Finger creator credit for Batman, which means when we see Batman v Superman next year, you will see his name alongside Bob Kane’s. Bill Finger played a huge part in the creation of th Dark Knight, but sadly was never recognized for it. A lot of people out there have never even heard of his name. I didn’t know about this guy until a few years ago, and I’m a die hard Batman fan.
Now from Batman v Superman and on, Bill Finger’s name will be featured on anything Batman. Warner Bros. released a statement to the news.
DC Entertainment and the family of Bill Finger are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement that recognizes Mr. Finger’s significant contributions to the Batman family of characters. “Bill Finger was instrumental in developing many of the key creative elements that enrich the Batman universe, and we look forward to building on our acknowledgement of his significant role in DC Comics’ history,” stated Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment. “As part of our acknowledgement of those contributions,” Nelson continued, “we are pleased to confirm today that Bill Finger will be receiving credit in the Warner Bros. television series Gotham beginning later this season, and in the forthcoming motion picture Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
