Hear ye! Hear ye! Hey you- you like Batman, right?

Well, I know you do. And that means that I’m going to use today’s post to bring something to your attention.

Well, actually, not me- my friend Travis Langley is. You may know Dr. Langley from twitter as Superherologist, or from his book “Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight”. I know him from both, but also as a forensic psychologist (which is my field, as well) and someone I deeply respect.

Recently, Dr. Langley has been pushing for recognition for the silent creator of the Batman. What? You didn’t know Bob Kane had help? Well, you aren’t alone!

To help get the word out about Bill Finger and his role- especially as this year would be Finger’s 100th birthday- Dr. Langley and a few others in the know are working on a kickstarter to create a documentary.

I could say more, but honestly the kickstarter page says it so much better than I could. Please go, check out the campaign, consider contributing, and at the very least share the page with others! Help get the word out!

Holy cow, Batman!

Thank you, truly, for talking this up. 3/4 of all pledges toward THE CAPE CREATOR so far are by people who found the campaign through links outside Kickstarter. This helps. It really does, and I know the outpouring of support means a lot on a personal level for Bill’s granddaughter Athena and her son.

  Wish it could’ve been a more detailed post, but wanted to get something up fast. But every little bit helps, right?
