Fred Finger, son of Batman co-writer Bill Finger, recounts how his father co-created Batman with Bob Kane, developing the costume, the origin story, the Batcave, the Batmobile, and iconic villains such as the Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, and Catwoman. He describes Bill as a brilliant but tragically undervalued writer who died penniless in the early 1970s, and expresses ongoing bitterness toward DC Comics for denying royalties and coldly dismissing the Finger family. Fred reveals his unsuccessful attempts to have DC acknowledge his father's files and contributions, and warns he may pursue legal action ahead of the upcoming Batman film.
