comicbook.com/dc/2017/12/09/batman-creator-bill-finger-nyc-street/East 192nd Street and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx was marked "Bill Finger Way" today. This area was specifically chosen due to it's proximity to Poe Park where Bill Finger and Bob Kane fleshed out Batman. Very cool that Finger is finally getting the credit he is due.

I cheered when he got his credit on Batman vs. Superman. Awesome that he's getting this recognition and hopefully it helps to get the ball rolling on other comic creators that haven't gotten their due.

Really happy to see Bill Finger get very long overdue credit for his part in creating Batman.

If you haven’t and can, go on Hulu and check out Batman & Bill. A really good documentary on getting Bill his due and his story.

It made me very happy seeing Bill Finger and Jack Kirby's names in quick succession in the Justice League credits.

He was also the co-creator of the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott.

Personally, I thought they pushed the “Bob Kane isnliterally worse than Satan” angle a little too hard, but yes, it was a well done documentary, and it’s a feel good moment to see Bill get the recognition he’s earned for his work. |
