“Co-creator”

WTF? Bob Kane the thief didn’t even “co-create” Batman. I’m confused. Wolfquack ( talk) 23:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Yes, you clearly are confused. While Finger is the one who created many of the iconic aspects of the character, Kane is the one who first created the idea of the character. While Finger's status as co-creator was unfairly unrecognized at times, it does not mean that we should now ignore Kane's role as co-creator.

@ JDDJS I know I’m late to this, but that really stinks; I think we can all agree that Bob Kane is a thief. It’s a shame that a liar can’t be taken down due to WP:POV and WP:RS. I know those are important rules for wikipedia, but there are difficulty sometimes where I wish I could take down some rules. Although I guess this is what humanity has done with credit since the dawn. Wolfquack ( talk) 17:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC) reply

"inspired, some say plagiarized, by" Partners of Peril

First, that's grammatically confused. Second, it's not merely arguable but blatantly obvious that Detective #27 closely copied the plot of PoP, so just say that "It largely duplicated the plot of" PoP. 2601:642:4600:BE10:D505:A31D:2E93:72BA ( talk) 18:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The use of online articles for citing information

Under "Personality" it states that Batman speaks over 40 languages and the only reference cited is from a Screenrant article. I have read the article and it provides no sources of its own nor any actual reason as how they came to that conclusion. Obviously he speaks a very wide range of languages but I feel there's no credible source for this particular information and relying on an online article (especially a "top 15 things" article) is not a reliable source itself.
