    The thing I love about the Green Arrow/Batman similarities is how a lot of of modern depictions will straight-up acknowledge the connections. For example, when the Arrowverse first mentioned Batman's existence in that universe, Ollie got super pissed off and defensive, being like "Hey, I did the whole dark vigilante thing first!"

    It's pretty clear cut that the Shadow is the direct inspiration for Batman. In fact the very first Batman story is taken whole cloth from the Shadow story "Partners of Peril", artwork from that story was even used for the first Batman comic. Also notable is that the Shadow is described as appearing bat-like several times in the story. More fun facts, the Shadow was referred to as The Knight of Darkness long before Batman was the Dark Knight.
    Special mention for Doc Savage and his utility vest. More can be said about the Man if Bronze and his Fortress of Solitude later.
    Special mention for the Phantom, general costume inspiration as well as tragic backstory inspiration.
    Street & Smith, the publishers of the Shadow, did not mind creating their own copycats. One such character was the Whisperer aka Police Commisioner James "Wildcat" Gordon. The Whisperer's solo magazine did not last long but stories continued in the back up pages of THE SHADOW MAGAZINE.
    Even more fun facts -- the same month Batman debuted in comics a pulp magazine publisher debuted their own bat-themed copycat of the Shadow called the Black Bat.
    One more thing, the whole rich guy secretly being a hero thing is the creation of Baroness Orczy, I like to think of her as the godmother of super hero stories, Baroness Orczy created the Scarlet Pimpernel

    I started reading comics in the 60s (so yeah, old,) and I remember when Green Arrow went from rich playboy to broke champion of the people, and I thought (think) it was brilliant. And I remember a later story where-in a rich guy had bought the Queen mansion, and discovered the cave. He threatened to tell Oliver Queen's, I'll tell people you're... BATMAN! (he saw the cave, and came to the wrong conclusion) It was a great story.

    Lee Falk's 1936 Phantom predates Batman by three years. The original Phantom s parents are killed by pirates, and he swears an oath to combat piracy and evildoers in general. His costume is similar, and he has his Skull cave. More than a few people think that Batman is a Phantom knockoff. Also, the Watchmen are based on the Charleton comic book characters which DC acquired when they went out of business. In that universe Blue Beetle was the Batman knockoff and Captain Atom was the Superman knockoff.

    Moon Knight didn't always have superpowers. In his first solo series he more Batman like. A non-powered, cape wearing vigilante. His origin isn't like Batman's in that series, but any mystic connection to the moon god is very ambiguous and not played up.

    I agree accept Darkwing isn't rich at all. He's a middle income single dad & his hideout is very bare. He doesn't have high tech stuff in there.

    Green arrow is not a copy cat of Batman all there similarities. End right at billionaire and base of operations they are not alike really at all

    You forgot the biggest piece of evidence that Green Arrow is a copycat of Batman: his CE show was just Batman with Green Arrow instead.

    Hanna Barbera made several copycats of Batman. The most famous was Space Ghost and one of the Herculoids.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Duckwing Duck started the "I am line" before batman. Darkwing duck series came out in 1991 and the Batman animated series came out in 1992. Soo Batman Animated series took Duckwing duck line

    Sad no mention of Knuckleduster and Captain Celebrity from MHA Vigilantes, two heroes who mentor the protagonist and are representation of Batman and Superman.

    Man, Midnighter didn't get nearly the screen time he deserves. I'm sure they're going to cock him up, but I couldn't help being excited hearing about The Authority getting at least some attention.

    @kamenrangerzeo8251 9 месяцев назад

    Daredevil, Moon knight, the Shadow, Darkwing Duck, Night man, Night Thrasher, Black Fox. But if I had to pick one that is truly my favorite Batman knock off it would have to be Daredevil

    Green arrow is supposed to be like Batman if Batman was fun and upbeat. Despite the tragedy that green arrow faces he still manages to maintain his calm and positive attitude

    I find these comparisons tiresome and pointless . Especially when you consider the fact that Batman was copied directly off of The Shadow and crusading wealthy playboys were pretty thick on the ground throughout the 1930's .

    The original Blue Beetle is a Batman ripoff, and in turn Moon Knight was influenced by both.
    The original Black Panther also was influenced by Bat Man.
