Batman: The Killing Joke was written by Alan Moore in 1999.
 This byline did not originally say "Batman created by Bob Kane"; his name was simply written on the title page of each story
 While he had received credit for other DC work since the 1940s, he began, in the 1960s, to receive limited acknowledgment for his Batman writing; in the letters page of Batman #169 (February 1965) for example, editor Julius Schwartz names him as the creator of the Riddler, one of Batman's recurring villains
