La Liga's Valencia CF Irks DC Comics

Valencia CF recently redesigned their logo and it caught the attention of DC Comics.  The Spanish soccer club's logo, according to DC Comics, looks quite similar to Batman's calling card.  Here are the two side by side:






While Valencia has used a bat in its logo since 1919, the wings of the primary logo for the team are angling downward.  It was the change of the wing's angle upward that made DC Comics file a complaint in European Union's trademark organization.

Of note is that the batman logo originally appeared in 1939 and it has undergone variations in that time as well.  It will be interesting to see the results of DC Comics' lawsuit.
