The Resume

    (February 8, 1914-January 24, 1974)
    Worked for DC Comics
    Co-creator of Batman (1939)
    Creator of Catwoman, the Penguin, the Riddler, Gotham City, the Batcave, the Batmobile, and Bruce Wayne
    Also worked on Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Captain America

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a notoriously slow writer.
    He rarely met deadlines on time.
    He was not very business savvy.
    Bob Kane accused him of trying to steal all the credit for Batman.
    Most of his recognition was posthumous.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He came up with Batman's signature cape and mask, and the idea of him being a detective.
    Despite playing a huge role in creating the character, Bob Kane took all the credit.
    He was fired from DC when he asked for better health care.
    He died without ever receiving any recognition for his work on Batman.
    In the comic industry, being 'fingered' means to have been denied credit for one's work.
