Followed by Q&A and Book Signing with Marc Tyler Nobleman

Join us for a documentary screening and a talkback with the film’s protagonist! The Hulu documentary Batman and Bill digs into DC-local Marc Tyler Nobleman‘s quest to uncover the story of Bill Finger—the long uncredited co-creator of Batman. Learn more about his story in the documentary and then from Nobleman himself. [Documentary runtime: 1h 33m]

Marc Tyler Nobleman is the author of Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman [2012 | $17.99] and Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman [2008 | $7.99]. Both titles will be available for purchase in the Gewirz Museum Shop, where Members save 20%.

Presented in conjunction with JewCE: The Jewish Comic Experience ($0-$10). Reserve tickets to view first drafts of Nobleman’s book that inspired the documentary.
