In 2002, a man who believes the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was staged by the government contacted astronaut Buzz Aldrin about it. As Aldrin walked outside a Beverly Hills hotel, a man thrust a Bible at him and demanded that the septuagenarian spaceman swear on it that he had gone to the moon. Aldrin was reasonably irritated after risking his life and making significant sacrifices to complete his mission. He was doing fine until the stranger labelled him a coward, a liar, and a thief. At that time, Aldrin, then 72, punched his sidewalk interrogator in the face. The District Attorney's Office in Los Angeles declined to file charges against Aldrin.

However, their lack of a waxy layer is not entirely a drawback. They can move more quickly because the layer isn't there.

However, writer Bill Finger was also instrumental in the character's development; according to Marc Tyler Nobleman's comic biography, Finger designed Batman's costume, wrote many of his early appearances, and devised his tragic origin story. Nonetheless, Finger, who died in 1974, was never properly recognised or compensated. Kane, on the other hand, negotiated a deal in which he would be credited as Batman's creator on every issue in which the character appeared, regardless of whether or not he worked on it.
