Milton "Bill" Finger (February 8, 1914 – January 18, 1974) is the original writer of ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'', a character which, together with Creator/BobKane, he developed for the comic book ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics #27'', published by National Allied Publications, which would eventually become Creator/DCComics. By personality, Finger was shy and retiring, and not very well equipped to deal with DC's management; due to this, Bob Kane became the dominant spokesman for Batman and ultimately negotiated a contract for the character with the stipulation that Batman always be undersigned as "Created by Bob Kane". While for most of his career he would downplay Finger's contributions, Kane later admitted in his final years that Finger was the co-creator of Batman and that he played an "unsung role" in his creation (while never fully owning up to the fact that he was the one who did the un-singing). DC Comics, while honoring the letter of Kane's byline, would eventually and publicly acknowledge Finger as a co-creator of Batman and his RoguesGallery ("Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger").

This isn't quite accurate. While there is dispute on other characters, it is universally acknowledged that Two-Face was Bob Kane's creation only.

As a writer, he wrote many key Batman stories, namely ''Detective Comics #33'' -- Batman's iconic OriginsEpisode, -- whose details have remained virtually unchanged, despite myriad reboots and adaptations. Likewise, it was Finger who wrote "The Man Behind the Red Hood", the first Joker origin story which Creator/AlanMoore [[CanonWelding welded]] into ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', as well as ''Robin Dies at Dawn'' which Creator/GrantMorrison reused for CanonWelding in [[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison their run on Batman]].

In addition to this, Finger also co-created Alan Scott, the first Franchise/GreenLantern, ComicBook/{{Wildcat}}, and ComicBook/LanaLang in ComicBook/{{Superboy}}.
