I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side.
I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.
I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond.
To me, it's not work. When I draw and I write, I find it relaxing. It's not like 9-to-5, where a man goes to a job and he isn't really interested in the job. Luckily, I get paid for doing what I'd do for nothing.
It is difficult to separate, at times, the myth from the truth.
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.
