Have you ever had any pushback from people, either, you know, friends, families, colleagues, general population? All of the above.

Yeah.

I mean, it was unlikely at best.

Because I was coming into this story after 70 years of failure.

I mean, Bill was not able to get his name added.

His son was not able to get his father's name added.

No group of fans was able to do that.

If someone wants to use storytelling in their business process, what would you suggest to them how to structure it, how to shape it, and have it come out, obviously, in their voice?

Yeah, like why Bill Finger was just removed

from that conversation.

Well- I mean, when Batman was created in 1939 and the artist was Bob Kane, the writer was Bill Finger.

And in those days, obviously, nobody was filming reality shows.

This was not being documented for posterity.

So this was two guys in an apartment in the Bronx who worked together and didn't know what this would turn into.

So Bill agreed to be uncredited and bought that and agreed for Bob to get full credit because in those days that was somewhat common in comics that whoever started the idea or started the process of this character would get full credit and then he would hire people to work under him and it was called a shop.

So can you frame that picture to us? Can you tell us that story?

Welcome to another East Tradewinds presentation with Marc Tyler Nobleman.

So as you know, my name is Mark and by trade I'm a storyteller and that has two branches.

I write books mostly for kids and I speak to audiences of all ages and I'm going to tell you what has become my best story.

It's about Batman.

Don't panic if you're not a superhero fan.

No one name dropped about Batman before, but it's okay.

This is not just for superhero fans.
