It has been used as the symbol of Valencia since long before the fictional city of Gotham was dreamt up.<\/p>\n
But now DC Comics, the makers of superhero Batman, is fighting the La Liga club’s right to use its ‘new’ bat crest.<\/p>\n
The New York-based publishing giant lodged its opposition with the European Union’s trademark arm.<\/p>\n
It claims the logo is too close to two of its own images related to the caped crusader.<\/p>\n
