Move over Barcelona and Real Madrid, La Liga side Valencia C.F. have a brand new enemy to contend with – DC Comics.
Valencia are facing a legal battle with the comic book giants, who believe that a new rendition of the club's crest looks far too similar to the iconic Batman logo.
Here's what DC Comics aren't happy about.
1.
The US-based comic book giant–who also created characters including Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash–has reportedly filed a complaint with the European Union's trademark registration body, which could see the two parties battling for the rights to the symbol in court.
Unfortunately for DC, Valencia have used a bat in their crest since 1919, which is 20 years before Batman even existed.

This is probably going to be one fight that Batman simply won't win.
