The Dark Knight Rises Gotham Rogues

Forgive me if this connection has been posted already but at the rate people are posting in all the different topics, it makes it very hard to wade through.

Anyway, I might be late to the party but has anyone made this connection?

For those of you who don't know The Shadow:

There was also a film featuring Alec Baldwin as The Shadow, notice the similarities between Batman and The Shadow in the trailer:

Definitely "The Shadow" inspired.

The Shadow! I hadn't made that connection but then I only briefly saw the image earlier and so didn't really think about it. Cool.
They very well could have been inspired by him. It can also simply resemble a western outlaw of course, but this would be more interesting.

The Rogue looks like a cowboy.

Yes, my favorite superhero gets a reference. AWESOME. And yes, that team-up needs to happen.

I dont know what I was hoping for for a logo, but I am a bit underwhelmed with it being a wild west bandit. But I guess The Shadow comes close enough for it to be a reference to batman lore.

Nice to have a logo tho, something to print out and stick on shirts for july 20

 

[ggghhh]

Will Alec Baldwin run into the stadiam as the team's mascot?

It's also a nice reference as The Shadow had some influence on Bob Kane when he created Batman
