Valencia CF getting sued by DC Comics for stealing 'Batman' logo: Report

Something seems to have Batman's tights in a twist and it has nothing to do with any of the Gotham City crimefighter's arch-enemies.

Nope, the Bat Phone is ringing off the hook because the Caped Crusader's parent company, DC Comics, could be on the verge of suing the Valencia C.F. soccer organization due to the club's apparent attempt at copying the Batman logo, according to MailOnline.

BAM! POW!



The La Liga soccer giant has had a bat on their team crest since their formation in 1919 but that has not stopped the American comic book publisher from suing the legendary Spanish club.

DC Comics are said to have become unhappy at Valencia trying to register an image of a bat with outspread wings as its official trademark.


California-based company DC Comics, who are owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, were formed in 1934 and has originated well-known comic book characters such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman — all who fall under the DC umbrella.

Funny, suddenly there's this craving for a Cuba Libre right about now.
