Bill Finger and Bob Kane created the Batman character in 1939. They developed Batman as a passionate hero with integrity and compassion that ordinary people could look up to. The Dark Knight version of Batman from the Batman Begins and Dark Knight films has a self-entitled billionaire lifestyle, but still dedicates himself to helping others in need as a hero at night. Bruce Wayne is willing to risk everything to protect others, demonstrating that power and money mean nothing without a willingness to help people.
