“It took them a while to catch on that Batman would be the greatest.”
(Bob Kane, creator of Batman. October 24, 1915 – November 3, 1998. R.I.P.)
Bonus factoid: Kane’s wife, Elizabeth Sanders, played Gossip Gerty in Batman Forever (Joel Schumacher, 1995) and Batman and Robin (Schumacher, 1997), as well as portraying a “Gothamite” in Batman Returns (Tim Burton, 1992), on which set Bob Kane was a consultant.
Elizabeth Sanders as Gossip Gerty emceeing at the Charity Auction in Batman and Robin.
It would be a pretty cool gesture if Nolan contacted Kane’s widow to appear in one of his film adapatations, too, but anything kind of goes with him so we’ll see.
