I saw this last night and loved it.

This is a 'must see' film for all comic collectors. Just go see it.

Bill Finger was responsible for about 90% of what we associate with Batman. And Bob Kane's lies and cover-up are pretty disgusting. This is a great story, and there's a lot of very new information in the film that most people have never heard before.

This is pretty cool.

Bill Finger, the unsung co-creator of Batman — as in the one who actually came up with most of what makes Batman what he is — will be honored with a street renaming in New York City in December.

A street sign designating Bill Finger Way will be unveiled in the Bronx at East 192nd Street and the Grand Concourse, the northeast corner adjacent to Poe Park, according to Finger biographer Marc Tyler Nobleman.

Why there? It was on a park bench in Poe Park — named for Edgar Allan Poe (fitting, no?) — where Kane and Finger first conceptualized Batman.

The official city ceremony will be at 12/8 at 10 a.m.

Finger’s granddaughter Athena, Nobleman and a local city councilman will speak.

New York routinely honors famous residents this way but I believe that it’s the first time it’s happened with a comic-book creator.

I watched this awhile back, nice to see Bill Finger getting the credit he deserves, but so sad he didn't get it when he was alive. Bob Kane had his input, but Finger seems to be the main creator...pretty shameful that he went to his grave taking all of the credit!
