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 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.

If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.

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

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

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

Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.

It is difficult to separate, at times, the myth from the truth.

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.

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.

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.

Remember Killer Moth, the most ingenuous rogue ever to defy the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin ?Perhaps you recall how the weird beam from the Moth Signal summoned the Gangland Guardian to the aid of desperate criminals ?And who can forget the eerie Moth Cave where new and startling implements of crime were produced by this evil genius !

If Bill Finger created Batman, where is Bill Finger's byline on my strip? It is conspicuous by its absence.

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