art new-york men
I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City.
years ties
I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond.
believe talking persons
What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.
thinking views long
This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.
unique ideas imagination
Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.
stories true-story articles
How can an article about me or the Batman be the true story when I am not consulted or interviewed?
littles interviews given
Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.
writing guessing want
If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.
real legends myth
I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.
writing draws
I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.
facts known
I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general.
eerie evil genius
Remember Killer Moth, the most ingenuous rogue ever to defy the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin ?Perhaps you recall how the weird beam from the Moth Signal summoned the Gangland Guardian to the aid of desperate criminals ?And who can forget the eerie Moth Cave where new and startling implements of crime were produced by this evil genius !
artist leader want
The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator.
