Kane was really a piece of work, nobody is trying to claim otherwise (at least, not since he passed away, anyway).Jon Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03346075090240271003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10764388.post-31375765548325858442008-11-20T00:14:00.000-08:002008-11-20T00:14:00.000-08:00ah, but the main problem wasn't his 'private' studio, but things like the classic Batman image from the days, being a trace of a Tazan image, he and his father made a deal so that Kane would get SOLE credit for Batman and give the two finger salute to Bill Finger.. Also, the WHOLE comic was ghosted by people that though Kane was doing atlest SOME of the work...Manic Manhttp://www.tesp.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10764388.post-70667345018257643972008-11-19T19:10:00.000-08:002008-11-19T19:10:00.000-08:00Brian - You're welcome! I had a problem with the show myself for a while, until I got over it and found myself enjoying it (on a different level than when I was a kid) as an adult.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever see the mercifully short Wonder Woman pilot the Batman people did?<BR/><BR/>Manic Man - Kane always had aspirations of being a comic strip artist like Milton Caniff (for example)... and back in the day, it was not unusual for the creator of a strip (once it became popular) to hire other artists to "ghost" his style... he probably saw nothing wrong with doing that for Batman, since for the longest time, his basic "style" was used (although a bit tweaked here and there).Jon Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03346075090240271003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10764388.post-47455267328063929822008-11-19T03:34:00.000-08:002008-11-19T03:34:00.000-08:00The 60s Batman was a bit on the camp side but not really when you look at the state of the world shows at the time and stuff like that. i felt the acting was great (well.. for the most part). I am always disgusted when i see an image of Bob Kane... for what that man did he should be hated by all.. what's worse is his grave.. boy that made me feel sick when i first saw a picture of it... but this, this is kinda my view on things..<BR/>So, who do we think REALLY did that image? Bob Kane's Private Studio had alot of good artists so there are alot to pick from..<BR/><BR/>come to think of it, there is a story at Lying In The Gutter about a pretending to be Art Adams.. and how nasty he is.. Was Bob Kane much different? maybe even worsse cause he claimed credit for the stuff being his?Manic Manhttp://www.tesp.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10764388.post-73520091967088730322008-11-19T01:16:00.000-08:002008-11-19T01:16:00.000-08:00Thanks for posting the article scans.<BR/><BR/>I really like the 60's Batman TV show and have never had an issue with it, then again I am not a reader of the comics. Most TV and Movie adaptions I see as 'Elseworld' tales, different variations of the same stories and characters.<BR/><BR/>I have always wanted someone to take footage from the 60's Batman, the 50's Superman and the 70's Wonder Women and digitally combine them into a storyline so we get all the characters together together.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01789094236183502398noreply@blogger.com
