Bob Kane

I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City. ”

I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general. ”

When I first drew him I had eyes in there and it didn't look right. ”

I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond. ”

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. ”

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. ”

I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side. ”

How can an article about me or the Batman be the true story when I am not consulted or interviewed? ”

I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time. ”

In the Golden Age of Batman, I penciled, inked, and lettered my strip by myself. ”
