I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond.

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.

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

Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.

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

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.

The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator.

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

Fantasy is more than an escape from the truths of the world and the past: it is an open acknowledgment that those truths are complex and morally difficult. It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world.
