About this Quote

Bob Kane's quote is most likely referring to the production of one of his most renowned characters, Batman. When Kane initially drew the character, he included eyes in the mask, but he felt that it didn't look right. He likely felt that the eyes detracted from the strange and intimidating look that he was attempting to produce. He chose to eliminate the eyes and change them with a simple black mask, which gave Batman the iconic appearance that we know today. Kane's quote is a testament to his creative vision and his ability to acknowledge when something wasn't quite right. He was able to make the needed changes to produce a character that has become one of the most recognizable figures in popular culture.
