Ryan EllisHOST
Career, not career.
Ryan EllisHOST
Apart from playing Strasser in Casablanca, he had been in The Man Who Laughs, the movie that inspired Bob Kane and Bill Finger to come up with the Joker in the Batman comics, and was, I think, the only actor who reteamed with Wien to make The Hands of Orlac.
Ryan EllisHOST
Orlac? Whatever.
Ryan EllisHOST
His last movie came out right after Casablanca.

Jay ShepardHOST
I mean, uh, this was six months before 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea came out with some of the finest, uh, underwater photography, photography from the 1950s in it.
Jay ShepardHOST
So this was not the first film to do underwater photography, but it was one of the ones that made a big deal of it.
Jay ShepardHOST
Also, because it was in 3D, you know, there was, there was a lot of other stuff going on like that.
Joshua StolteHOST

Who is now credited, rightfully, as a creator of Batman, the little history behind all that.
Scott MendelsonPANELIST
Say what you will about Batman v. Superman, but I'm pretty sure that was the first movie to have a credit of Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger on the screen.
Scott MendelsonPANELIST

Scott MendelsonPANELIST
And I don't know the politics of the time, but for whatever reason, Bill Finger did what he did in relative obscurity while Bob Kane lived his life as the all-consuming one and only creator of the Batman.
Scott MendelsonPANELIST
And it's been sort of a...
Scott MendelsonPANELIST
It was a grave injustice, one of many of that era of comic book.
Al MegaHOST
Yeah, reserved, yeah
William BernhardtGUEST
... let Bob Kane go wild.
William BernhardtGUEST

The editorial traces the origins all the way back to Bill Finger and Bob Kane describing their creation as vengeance incarnate.
speaker_1HOST
