Britain's 1st Dynamic Duo
Cartoon Art was a British publisher of comics in the mid-1940s, most of which were modeled after American superheroes. One such hero was the Batman-themed masked man, Speed Gale, who also sported a cowl with pointy ears. He and his sidekick Garry(if that's an alias is unknown)use a special elixir Speed created that gave them both super-strength along with some flight ability. Speed's adventures included getting repeatedly captured by villains like the Atomic Gang, and then finally defeating them in crotch locks. The most glaring piece of copyright violation was using a modified Batman logo for the cover of their own title.
