Get ready for a blockbuster as two billionaires slug it out. In the Batcave, Bruce Wayne of DC Comics and in the other corner, in his 11-storey condo, Peter Lim of Valencia Football Club fame.

It was reported in Yahoo that DC Comics is suing the Spanish football club for using a logo that is very similar to Batman's. For the uninitiated, here's Valencia's club logo.

That's a lot of bats.

However Valencia FC have used the bat for as long as 1919, some 20 years before the inception of Batman. The bat even features in the coat of arms of the city of Valencia.

Looks like Bruce Wayne has got to lawyer up, hopefully he has enough time to prepare.

Now, what would Peter Lim do? Here are three possible scenarios

1. Buy DC Comics and destroy the Batman universe.

2. Buy DC Comics and make Superman stronger so that Batman can eat humble pie.

3. Buy DC Comics and make Robin screw things up and eventually destroy Batman's legacy.
