Who Really Created Batman?

The True Creator of Batman Never Got Credit, and Now His Granddaughter Fights to Correct History

Who Really Created Batman?

My mom loved Batman at least as much as she loved Superman, maybe more. She was the one who introduced me to Batman comics and I remember being in awe of the fact that she knew all about Ra’s al Ghul. I had just finished reading a story in which he turned out to secretly be the one behind some nefarious plot and when I told her who he was, she started telling me all about his back-story and how he had been fighting Batman for years and years. I couldn’t believe that my mom knew so much about comics!

Adam West died a few weeks ago. My sister and I only very, very rarely ever watched his version of Batman. We didn’t ever really watch the original Star Trek or George Reeves’ Superman, either; that stuff was much too campy for us. But of course we knew all about them. A flurry of articles about Batman appeared in my Twitter feed after West died and one in particular caught my eye: The True Creator of Batman Never Got Credit, and Now His Granddaughter Fights to Correct History.
