How Batman Was Stolen | Case File #87

Batman is one of the most well-known fictional characters of all time. He was completely stolen from his original creator. In the late 1930s, a new comic book character hit newsstands across the country. He was called The Bat-Man (later on just Batman), and he quickly took the nation by storm. Over the years he could go on to become one of the most popular characters - comic book or otherwise - ever conceived. And, as we all know, he was created by Bob Kane. He was credited as the sole creator, writer, and artist behind Batman, he appeared in countless interviews as the creator of Batman, and he even had a cameo in the 1989 Batman movie. However, he didn't actually create the character at all, and in fact shameless stole credit from another man.
