After 1943, Kane's work was primarily concentrated on the daily comic strip  He did few comic book stories until the strip ended in 1946.  Robinson and Roussos remained with the book to provide artistic continuity, Kane was teamed up with a new inker, Charles Paris, who would be associated with Batman for the next 20 years.

Paris' style was slicker than Robinson and Roussos.  His judicious spotting of blacks provided a cleaner and clearer art style, suited to the black and white format and cramped panels of the newspaper strip.  After the strip was cancelled in October 1946, Paris began inking Batman stories in the comic book.  He also pencilled a few stories.

Kane also returned to the comic book, beginning with Batman 35.

His initial stories were inked by Dupree Burnley, the brother of Jack Burnley.  Ray (as he was usually called) apparently tried to make Bob's work look more like Dick Sprang's, which had rapidly become the definitive Batman style in Kane's absence.   Perhaps realizing that an important story like the "Origin of Batman" demanded a more traditional look, Kane was reunited with Charles Paris for Batman 47 in July 1948.

However, this reunion was not to last long, because Bob had entered into a new contract with National Comics, one which gave him ownersip rights to the strip and a substantial boost in payments.  So much so that he could afford to turn the majority of the (guaranteed work) over to assistants.
