Arrow DC sue Spanish football team over Bat logo.

Interesting that DC would sue a football club who has been using the Bat logo since the early 1900's.

Hilarious! Methinks the lawsuit claim should be the other way around...

I was thinking the same thing. DC should be ashamed.

The team has been around since the 1900's, but this is a brand new logo from what I read. It's the design that's under fire.

The football club's logo looks similar to what Batman would have on his chest, but there are enough differences to separate it, I think. The rounded ears and a shape similar to a 'V' as in Valencia. I doubt this case will go far.

Update from the following site:
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/War-O...ded-68397.html

"According to The Guardian, Valencia has announced they will no longer move forward with their contested new logo design. According to the newspaper, the sports team went through the process of trying to get the symbol copyrighted, which is what got DC Comics' attention, but rather than trying to fight for the new logo they have instead decided to discard it."
