Milton “Bill” Finger（1914 年 2 月 8 日 - 1974 年 1 月 18 日）是一位美国连环画、漫画书、电影和电视作家，是 DC 漫画角色蝙蝠侠的共同创作者（与鲍勃凯恩）。尽管作为创新作家、有远见的神话/世界建设者和插图建筑师做出了重大（有时是标志性的）贡献，但芬格（以及他那个时代的其他创作者）经常被降级为许多漫画的代笔作家——包括蝙蝠侠和最初的绿灯侠艾伦斯科特。

虽然凯恩在 1980 年代对他的自传作者的音频采访中私下承认，芬格负责“蝙蝠侠所有创造力的 50-75%”，但几十年来，他公开否认芬格只不过是执行凯恩想法的分包商。结果，芬格在默默无闻和贫困中死去，而蝙蝠侠品牌和凯恩则积累了国际声誉和财富。在 2000 年代，芬格传记作者马克·泰勒·诺布尔曼 （Marc Tyler Nobleman） 的研究发现了以前不为人知的继承人。在贵族、在线漫画迷社区和其他人的敦促下，芬格的孙女重新开始了恢复他失去的遗产的斗争，这场斗争持续了多年。2015 年，DC Comics 的母公司有条件地同意承认 Finger 作为蝙蝠侠角色和神话的共同创造者的知识产权主张，正式将他的名字添加到凯恩在 1939 年获得合同担保的“创造者”信用额度中。

Milton "Bill" Finger (February 8, 1914 – January 18, 1974) was an American comic strip, comic book, film and television writer who was the co-creator (with Bob Kane) of the DC Comics character Batman. Despite making major (sometimes, signature) contributions as an innovative writer, visionary mythos/world builder and illustration architect, Finger (and other creators of his era) was often relegated to ghostwriter status on many comics—including Batman, and the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott.

While Kane privately admitted in a 1980s audio interview with his autobiographer that Finger was responsible for "50–75% of all the creativity in Batman," for decades he publicly denied Finger had been anything more than a subcontractor executing Kane's ideas. As a result, Finger died in obscurity and poverty while the Batman brand, and Kane, amassed international fame and wealth. In the 2000s, Finger biographer Marc Tyler Nobleman's research uncovered previously unknown heirs. At the urging of Nobleman, the online comics fan community and others, Finger's granddaughter revived the fight to restore his lost legacy, which continued for years. In 2015, DC Comics's parent company conditionally agreed to recognize Finger's intellectual property claim as co-creator of the Batman characters and mythos, officially adding his name, going forward, to the "created by" credit line Kane had gotten contractually guaranteed in 1939.
