Listen "Stealing Batman"
Episode Synopsis
The creation of Batman, one of the most iconic superheroes in history, is a tale of creativity, ambition, and, unfortunately, injustice. While Bob Kane is widely credited as Batman's sole creator, the reality is that much of the character's depth, origin, and enduring appeal came from the mind of Bill Finger, a largely unsung collaborator who never received the recognition or compensation he deserved during his lifetime.
