2024 it’s FINALLY Happening

Steranko is my childhood idol.

Why?? It's insane!! Bob is the villain!! Bill finger is the true hero.

Bill finger is Batman! MANY thanks to jim for being a constant defender for bill

What I would of Gave to Slap Bob Kane after finding out what he did to Bill finger and the blokes that built the Charcter Bob claimed to create while screwing everyone over

Bill Finger is the real hero

I am astounded DC is ok with Bob Kane, a narcissist, a wannabe, a fake and a selfish thief representing the backbone of who they are. Batman represents justice, while Kane is famous for deceit, theft, forgery, even murder, etc. DC supports super-villains, rather than true heroes, how sad and twisted...

Artist Bob Kane created Batman, and writer Bill Finger did not. Bill suggested a makeover to the character which worked, but that hardly made him an artist/creator overnight. Actually without Superman, there would have been no Batman, anyway. The company just wanted a followup to Superman, and Kane came up with it inside of one weekend. Yet even since then he's been treated like a villain because he didn't go into business as a one man "credit Bill" promoter, which is nonsense.

Bob Kane, in an ABC TV Special, "Why is Batman Forever," took full credit for creating the Riddler who was created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang and NOT Bob Kane!

Probably the only person who smacked Bob Kane. Probably many wanted to.

His was easily the best run on spider-man, rivaled only by Bendis.

I love what this guy did on that run so much, and now even more so.

Jim Steranko became my favorite artist after I saw my first Nick Fury cover on Strange Tales. I once owned every comic he ever did and the entire Shadow paperback set, that he did the covers for. Even some of the other paperbacks he did covers for. Got to meet him, years ago. Had him sign the History of Comics vol. 2 and my copy of O"Ryann's Odyssey portfolio (given away at the Detroit Triple Fan Fair of 1970). He was a treat to listen to and meet! Steranko will always be number 1 with me. Thanks for sharing this with us, for it shows how much Steranko cares about comics and those that make them.

I always liked this guy !

It really boggles my mind how someone with such empathy and self-determination ever became a Trumper. But bitch-slapping Bob Kane earns Steranko a "bye" in my book.

Pity Jim is such an egotistical pr#@k himself.

Yes while kane is credited as the creator of batman, his first depiction of the character is dooky booty as hell and it would have barely seen the light of day if finger didn’t come in and give it the timeless look it still closely represents to this very day. Look up the original depiction of batman, kane’s vs. finger’s. Kane is a scumbag and could have at least given him credit as being the co creator if not the creator which is the title he definitely deserves as finger’s creation is very near to the timeless iconic image we all know and love to this very day as the batman, while kane’s look was that of a throway garbage hero that would probably get a couple issues and flop lol

This 11 minute video felt like a twenty minute vid

Seeing the direction todays reboots go in order to convey "the message" I am glad they leave B5 out of this.

I am the 119 year old. This stupid child Jiro not even know how to make da rice. In my ress ran, to work must be only the man with the membah. Then you take 50 year to learn to wash dah rice. Nuddah 56 year to learn to plug in duh rice coooo kah. Dis little boy not ready to plug in yet. He must to show like kendo mastuh.

Jim Steranko, he is a great writer/artist. One of his many works were Captain America 110, 111, 113. Sadly Madame Hydra was killed in the end of Captain America 113. However, the character became avaiable in Captain America 180.

He's a MAGA. Him and Bob share the doucheness.

Bravo, Jim!!

I met Steranko and it was a honor to get a autograph from him and money well spent.

Well, he may have made some questionable decisions writing Spider-Man, but damn he gave us some of the best episodes of The Real Ghostbusters.

god bless Jim Steranko such a hero to the industry of comics

This old dude probably has more swagger and cool than 99% of the nerds there 😂

Back in the 1970s, I mail ordered some comics from Bill Finger; they were probably reference issues or extras copies he got while working. I'm glad that I was able to help get some money to him, if only a few bucks. I wish I had kept my cancelled purchase check with his signature on it. I never thought about such things back then when I was an early teenager.

Kane did eventually give finger credit. From wikipedia In 1989, Kane acknowledged Finger as "a contributing force" in the character's creation, and wrote, "Now that my long-time friend and collaborator is gone, I must admit that Bill never received the fame and recognition he deserved. He was an unsung hero ... I often tell my wife, if I could go back fifteen years, before he died, I would like to say. 'I'll put your name on it now. You deserve it.'" Comics historian Ron Goulart has referred to Batman as the "creation of artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger".

He left after OMD was published, and even refused to sign the last issue, absolute legend. He proved you can tell amazing stories with an adult and married Peter Parker, but sadly, Marvel will never allow it, and Joe Quesada is a hack who destroyed the character and everything he stands for, not only with OMD, but also with Sins Past... It hurts me that JMS's run is mostly remember for those two atrocities he had no control over instead of the awesome little stories we had in the middle.

He died and now everyone discredits him sad and fake just like media. He was friends with stan lee they would go eat dinner together. Stan was been here since before dc was even called DC. People say the same about Stan lee which is crazy because he never even intended or thought that his creations would be collectables or have alot of impact in our culture.

I love Steranko's illustrations, but he's more than a little full of himself. I would have liked to have heard Bob's version of the story.

Babylon 5 is getting revived.

"A rebot will never happen" 2021: JMS: Hold my beer its' coming back babyyyyyyy

It's getting rebooted!

I changed my mind! Please reboot and stick to your ideas and values. Do not let them SJW the stories and you will be fine. Have fun sir!

I read an interview with Sheldon Moldoff once in which he was asked about Kane and he simply said "I have nothing to say about that man" - what do you have to do in life to generate such coldness in others?

How do you reboot it? It’s like saying you’re going to reboot breaking bad. Reboots work on episodic things, not on a 5 year story arc that we’ve seen. Even if you make it state of the art effects and cutting edge visuals, the story has been told. 2 spin offs failed, just leave it alone and enjoy it for what it was

To be honest about JMS's run. It maybe didn't have the thrill of spider man's missions and saving people. But he made MJ and Peter closer and his run had the best Pete-Mj romance undeniably. And unfortunately, Quesada royally fucked up spider man comics with 1. Sins past 2. One more day, the only thing remotely good about this was the confirmation of Peter and MJs love by mephisto and it is hard to digest the fact that most of the stories post OMD could have happened with them married to each other. And now Spencer has retconned OMD in #60 (Not gonna spoil it) and I hope we have a proper conclusion to Kindred. @Steve M, I suggest you start reading it after OMD, cuz there might be a surprise in the current run.

Steranko got revenge for Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson.... Batman style!!!

I have the Heroes Unlimited Role-Playing Game from Palladium Books and the cover is by Jim Steranko and Bill Everett. Even some of the art inside of the book is illustrated by Steranko.

Both Robert Kane (Robert Kahn) and Bill Finger (Milton William Finger) are Jewish. Kane (Kahn) being Eastern European Jew bloodline and Finger being Austrian-Jewish bloodline.

The man who bicth slapped Bob Kane. That should be a movie.

InB4 virtue signallers who are trying to cancel him because of his comment on convention shut downs due to Chinese-originating Covid come in and use bots to artificially downvote this video. As of 3/9/2021, this video has 476 likes, and 7 dislikes. Watch Jim will attend conventions and be just as successful as before. Legends can't get cancelled without their consent.

Yeah, definitely don't get the fresh sushi. The more mummified the better.

Everyone wants a slice of Kane after hearing Fingers story, funny this was never talked about back in the day when something could have been done. Steranko is just riding the wave here

Wow I didn't know about that one but he had no right to do that to him but Jim did had a reputation of not being messed with I recall hearing or reading something years ago about an incident when he wanted to be paid for panels that had no words on them and I remember years ago the comic book was strange tales featuring Nick fury agent of shield I remember the book when it was out at the time it had no words it really expresses the artistic expression without words and art tells the story in the case of Nick and Val's romance now he went to this guy named sol brodanski I don't know if that's the way you pronounce it or spell it but anyway he want to be paid for those panels and sol wouldn't pay for it so he tried to throw him out the window now I do condemns some forms of violence only in self-defense but he did get paid for those panels now in the case of Bob Kane he really had no business doing what he did to him that was not right so sometimes you smack a person in the face you going you going to get it right back at you I never met Jim but I recall corresponding to the guy that he tried to throw out the window through a letter but that was when I was a teenager

Steranko forever!!!!!

Hugh Hefner and Adam West's Bruce Wayne wore an ascot. George Lucas gets a cut of all the Star Wars merchandise. Spider-man was a used name before Stan Lee took it and did his partners dirty.
