Bill Finger
Bob Kane's "The Bat-Man"
quote:
It was Finger who said that the stiff bat wings should look like a cloak when Batman isn’t leaping off a building. Finger altered the color scheme so that Batman would have a gray bodysuit and have a symbol on his chest like Superman. Finger replaced the mask with a horned howl and decided to make the eyes white and blank, taking direct inspiration from the comic strip character the Phantom. Finger decided that this character would not just be a brawler but also a detective, someone who was “a combination of Douglas Fairbanks and Sherlock Holmes.”

MGM lion.
I believe that his name was Wilson and he was a lion at the Memphis Zoo. Also, I heard that the iconic roar/growl is not his but was dubbed from a tiger.

That's not Bill Finger, that's Steve Ditko.

I posted another 'Bill Finger pic" a few weeks ago but it was actually Bob Kane (no one noticed that one).
Maybe this is Bill:

He was famously, shy. That's one of like 3 pictures of him, which is why I recognized it. I know even less about Bill Finger.

In a younger picture, you can see who Ditko modeled Peter Parker after:

The mystery of the Bill Finger screwjob is pretty intriguing, as there wasn't a situation where the boss took credit for everything, like Stan Lee allegedly did.

quote:
Bob Kane (left) did everything he could to suppress Bill Finger’s (right) involvement in the creation of Batman. Finger was not a natural salesman, but Kane was. Kane negotiated a deal with DC, bringing fame and fortune as sole creator
quote:
Kane, on the other hand, loved the limelight. He’d greet fans wearing expensive suits or dressed in a cowl, wrote an overblown autobiography, and, according to the documentary, passed off artists’ oil paintings of Batman as his own. But the real treachery began in a lawyer’s office.
quote:I've sometimes wondered how Kane got any share of Batman. Siegel & Schuster got nothing from Superman.
DC Comics offered to publish the Batman comics. And Kane made sure he was the only one to show Batman off to the comic book publisher. Kane, following advice from his [lawyer] father, negotiated sole credit as the creator of Batman and a percentage of everything DC Comics licensed the character on. The lucrative deal formed the foundation of the $10 million fortune Kane would accumulate over the course of his life.
I just learned there is a Bill Finger documentary:

It's funny, just a few years ago we would have laughed at those reactions as over the top and taking it too seriously, now it's the accepted reaction for every single movie that doesn't follow a certain strict guideline

That episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" where Barney buys a surplus flathead Harley with the sidecar is a classic.
Watch the show and you will see the goggles he sports in the entire episode has no lenses in them.
I particularly like the scene where Aunt Bee, fed up with Barney running all over town like a nut on the bike tells Andy she saw a movie where the Allies strung a wire across a road and when the Nazis drove down the road, they hit the wire and she made a gesture like they were beheaded.
Andy thought that a bit drastic....
