1. Bob Kane Marker
God bestowed a dream upon Bob Kane. Blessed with divine inspiration and a rich imagination, Bob created a legacy known as BATMAN.
Introduced in a May 1939 comic book, Batman grew from a tiny acorn into an American Icon.
A "Hand of God" creation, Batman and his world personify the eternal struggle of good versus evil, with God's laws prevailing in the end.
Bob Kane, Bruce Wayne, Batman -- they are one and the same. Bob infused his dual identity character with his own attributes: goodness, kindness, compassion, sensitivity, generosity, intelligence, integrity, courage, purity of spirit, a love of all mankind.
Batman is known as the "Dark Knight", but though his deeds he walks in the Light of a Higher Power, as did his creator -- Bob Kane!
Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather.
