Monumental News in Comics

News broke today that's prompted a special second post for the day.  Warner Bros. and DC Comics will start giving Bill Finger credit as co-creator of Batman after 76 years.  The original 1939 contract gave credit only to Bob Kane, but support behind Finger has been slowly building in recent decades.  I've been making sure to mention him in many of my Batman-related posts.  

You will be able to see his name included along side Kane's starting halfway through the second season of Gotham and Batman vs. Superman.  We have this man to thank for so many characters throughout DC and even Wildcat and Lana Lang (Smallville anyone?).   

Thank you D.C. for acknowledging Mr. Finger's contributions, and congratulations to Bill Finger's family.
