After it is said and done about who does what on the Batman assembly line, I do not underestimate all of the help I've received.
I created the title, masthead, the format and concept, as well as the Batman figure and costume. Robin, the boy wonder, was also my idea.
There are certain characters Bill Finger created, aside from my main characters' and many other characters that I created, including the Batmobile.
I feel that my original style was much more unique and individual and was much more the real me. It had much more zing and schmaltz.
When I first drew him I had eyes in there and it didn't look right.
It's been 25 years now, and truthfully, time sometimes blurs the memory.
It took them a while to catch on that Batman would be the greatest.
I've often been asked, do I like the New Look Batman better than the old look. My answer to that question is, Emphatically, no!!
