In 1939 he was a freelance artist with a small studio of artists to assist/ghost pencil his work. Among these young comic creators was the writer of the group, Bill Finger. They were hired by Kane, not National and all work to come out of the studio was credited to Bob Kane. When National Comics (eventually DC Comics) editor Vin Sullivan asked him to create the next "Superman", he created a hero called "Birdman". Birdman wore a red outfit with domino mask and wings. It was the suggestion of Finger to make him a "Batman" and to make his costume dark, with a bat cowl and cape. He wrote the first Batman comic and many more. Without Bill Finger there would be no Batman. Yet he died poor and uncredited. Years later Kane expressed regret over this, yet he never allowed Finger to be credited as a co-creator.
