Bob Kane Quotations

The New Look of Batman is more illustrative and realistic.

Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.

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

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.

To me, it's not work. When I draw and I write, I find it relaxing. It's not like 9-to-5, where a man goes to a job and he isn't really interested in the job. Luckily, I get paid for doing what I'd do for nothing.

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

Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.

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

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.
