Though Bill was a writer (in fact the original writer, and a prolific one—1,500 Batman stories over 25 years), here he is in the pose of an artist.

What I subtly wanted to imply was that although he was, of course, a writer, he did indeed create the visuals to Batman’s costume and conceived the visual of the Joker based on the silent film.
