Bill Finger cytaty

Milton „Bill” Finger – amerykański scenarzysta komiksów. Współtwórca postaci Batmana dla wydawnictwa DC Comics . Bill Finger jest również twórcą postaci oraz koncepcji serii Green Lantern .

Finger był zmuszony zmienić swoje imię ze względu na skojarzenia z jego żydowskim pochodzeniem. Jako Bill Finger znalazł pracę w sklepie z obuwiem oraz zaczął pracować nad scenariuszami do komiksów.

Po zleceniu przez wydawcę stworzenia nowej postaci na miarę Supermana, Bob Kane zwrócił się o pomoc do Fingera, z którym wcześniej pracował nad Rusty and Clip Carson. Scenarzysta wprowadził wiele zmian w koncepcie bohatera, wtedy jeszcze nazywanego Bat-Manem. Bob Kane zastosował wszystkie uwagi współpracownika, a następnie oddał gotową postać. W zawartej umowie z wydawcą, stworzenie postaci Batmana przypisał tylko własnej osobie.

Bill Finger był odpowiedzialny za wiele elementów mitologii postaci Batmana, które funkcjonują do dziś. Nazwał miasto bohatera , wprowadził postać Jamesa Gordona, Robina, Riddlera i wielu innych. Tworzył scenariusze do komiksów z Batmanem od początku po przełom lat 60. i 70.

18 września 2015 roku ogłoszono, że Bill Finger zostanie oficjalnie uznany za współtwórce Batmana w serialu Gotham oraz filmie Batman v Superman: Świt sprawiedliwości. Zaczynając od października tego samego roku, w komiksach pojawiła się także zaktualizowana notka autorska - Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.

Bill Finger znajduje się w The Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame oraz w Jack Kirby Hall of Fame . Od 2005 r. przyznawana jest The Bill Finger Award For Excellence In Comic Book Writing . Nagroda została ufundowana przez Jerry’ego Robinsona. Wikipedia

Bill Finger: Cytaty po angielsku

“Robin was an outgrowth of a conversation I had with Bob. As I said, Batman was a combination of Fairbanks and Sherlock Holmes. Holmes had his Watson. The thing that bothered me was that Batman didn't have anyone to talk to, and it got a little tiresome always having him thinking. I found that as I went along Batman needed a Watson to talk to. That's how Robin came to be. Bob called me over and said he was going to put a boy in the strip to identify with Batman. I thought it was a great idea”

“…[Bob Kane] had an idea for a character called "Batman", and he'd like me to see the drawings. I went over to Kane's, and he had drawn a character who looked very much like Superman with kind of … reddish tights, I believe, with boots … no gloves, no gauntlets … with a small domino mask, swinging on a rope. He had two stiff wings that were sticking out, looking like bat wings. And under it was a big sign … BATMAN.”

“What was good about Bill was that whenever he wrote a plot, he did a lot of research for it. Whether the setting was a railroad station or a factory, he would find a photo reference, usually from National Geographic, and give Bob all the research to draw from. He was very orderly and methodical. His only problem was that he couldn't sustain the work… he couldn't produce material regularly enough”

“There were other Batman writers throughout the years but they could never capture the style and flavor of Bill's scripts. Bill was the best writer in the business and it seemed that he was destined to write Batman".”

About

“Bruce Wayne's first name came from Robert Bruce, the Scottish patriot. Wayne, being a playboy, was a man of gentry. I searched for a name that would suggest colonialism. I tried Adams, Hancock … then I thought of Mad Anthony Wayne.”

“He was a terrific writer and was the most responsible for the success and development of Batman. He really was the background for Batman; Bob Kane had ideas while Bill sort of organized them.”
