Bob Kane

Bob Kane was portrayed as receiving a God-given dream and divine inspiration that led him to create Batman, introduced in a May 1939 comic book and grown into an American icon. Batman and his world were presented as personifying the eternal struggle of good versus evil, with God's laws prevailing in the end. Bob Kane, Bruce Wayne, and Batman were identified as one and the same in spirit, with Kane said to have infused the dual-identity character with his own attributes of goodness, kindness, compassion, sensitivity, generosity, intelligence, integrity, courage, purity of spirit, and love of all mankind. Though Batman was known as the Dark Knight, his deeds were portrayed as walking in the light of a higher power, as did his creator, Bob Kane, who was remembered as a beloved husband, father, and grandfather.
