Is there anybody else who wish to share their thoughts about these recent comments?

I was born in 1956 and Dick Sprang was responsible for getting my eyes glued to his incredible (and still unmatched) art works in the early 80-Page Giant/Annual Batman comic books.

I almost died when Neal Adams did his stuffs in the Brave and the Bold, Batman and Detective comic books, Deadman, a couple of World’s Finests and (gasp!) X-Men!

Since my Batman history isn’t that up to par, I’ve really enjoyed reading the comments that have been posted so far. Great discussion everyone.

Re:
“Iâ€™ve always been happy that Frank Miller acknowledged Robinson & Finger in Dark Knight Returns; a sort of tribute to the men who REALLY put their blood, sweat and tears into the Batman mythos.”

Me too. That was 2nd most important turning point for this icon figure next to amazing revival by Neal Adams.

Yeah, I agree with you guys as well. From what I’ve read, Kane was determined to not lose out financially (like Siegel & Shuster), but also to make sure that his name would always be associated with Batman even if it meant glossing completely over the contributions of Robinson & Finger.

I’ve always been happy that Frank Miller acknowledged Robinson & Finger in Dark Knight Returns; a sort of tribute to the men who REALLY put their blood, sweat and tears into the Batman mythos.

Dirk Deppey,
I agree with you that Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger should be remembered as the true co-creators of the famed Batman. Their names should be printed next to Bob in every Batman comic books like Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in Superman comic books.
Thank you for brought it up,
Nicholas Post
