Bob Kane and Bill Finger worked hard to conceive a superhero that had the perfect mix of brains and brawn. The Batman originally was a detective, and it wasn't until 2015 that Bill Finger was given any credit for the creative writing he did to make one of the most famous and recognizable superheroes. Batman was created for DC (Detective Comics) in 1939 following the success of Superman and continues to be a fan favorite today.
