BillFinger (February 8, 1914 - January 24, 1974) was an American writer who is best remembered (though never officially credited) as the co-creator of the character Batman with artist Bob Kane and creator of Catwoman.
Finger went on to write many of the early Batman stories, including making major contributions to the character of The Joker, as well as other major Batman villains.
Finger, like Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel, and many other creators during and after the Golden Age of Comic Books, would resent National for "cheating" him of the money and dignity that he felt that he was owed for his creation.
