Here's to Jerry and the man who inspired him.

csb:
I met him in New York in the 80s. He was really really nice. He was doing a talk on royalties and how the creators of the most popular works were all skunked because the companies were calling it work-for-hire. I met Neal Adams the same day. Adams seemed like a little kid next to Robinson. They both signed comics for me. I was maybe 12 years old, but they were the ones who framed how I think of comics and their creators.

Here's to you sir, and the zillions of hours of joy and excitement your work brought me. You really truly shaped the world.

Obligatory:





Good night, bat boner man.

Good night, funny scary man.

Robinson's unparalleled genius immortalized in ink.



Sleep well,JR. And thank you.

Mark Hammil's version was the best of them all.

Thank you Jerry for helping to create my favorite villain.

Remember when The Joker shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon? Good times, good times.

Fano: Oh please, everyone knows it was smiling Stan LeeBob Kane. He'll tell you.

FTFY.

At least Lee gave credit to others. Bob Kane just signed his name on everyone else's work for the better part of 30 years.

/thank you and RIP

NPR (or really, the BBC) had a good story on this guy earlier today. I thought it was cool that he lived to see The Dark Knight and was supposedly overjoyed with the Joker's depiction in that movie. By contrast, I feel sorry for a guy like Bob Kane whose last vision of his character in film was Batman and Robin. Sometimes I think he died of shame.
