(I guess Kane's 60's lawyer wasn't as smart as his 40's lawyer)


I have read somewhere - and I am not sure of the veracity of this - that Bob Kane's father was a lawyer, and he advised his son to tie up Batman contractually right at the creation.

Whatever the case, Kane obviously had sound legal advice - which paid big dividends - as opposed to Siegel and Shuster with Superman.

Whether Kane senior was Bob's 1940s lawyer I wouldn't know.
