The Untold Story - Batman & Bill - Trailer
Creating an Icon
By Alex Burns
Batman created by Bob Kane. You will see that credit following anything to do with our beloved caped crusader, be it a comicbook, a film and even a television show, the credit is synonymous with everything Batman. Bill Finger however, is a not name that the general public have seen attached to this credit in the near 80 year history of the character. A new Hulu documentary dives into the untold story of the creation of Batman inspired by the work of author Marc Tyler Nobleman - Bill the boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman.
Everyone thinks that Bob Kane created Batman, but that’s not the whole truth. One author makes it his crusade to seek justice for Bill Finger, a struggling writer who was the key figure in creating the iconic superhero, from concept to costume to the very character we all know and love. Bruce Wayne may be Batman’s secret identity, but his creator was always a true mystery.
DC Comics have recognised Finger's contribution to the Batman mythos and he posthumously received a shared credit on the tv series Gotham and the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice feature film. It's unknown if this shared credit will continue but if the approval of this documentary is anything to go by, hopefully so.
Unmask the story of Bill Finger in the Hulu Original Documentary Batman and Bill, May 6, only on Hulu.
