I don't see Kane as ripping off Finger in terms of creating Batman...they both did.
I believe Kane first conceived Batman..but he wanted to make him a superhero with bright colors (a la Superman). Finger is the one who suggested a dark menacing look to him...with cowl and long cape...who fought crime with intelligence...a brilliant scientific detective.
Where the problem lies is that Kane took complete control of the Batman character (and sold the rights)...and consequently screwed Finger in the process.
It was not until Kane as an old dude...started giving credit to Finger...a little too late for my taste.
