Line 51:
=== [[Literature]] ===
* ''[[The Shadow]]'', which is the other candidate for [[Trope Maker]] of the modern version of this trope.
* Pulp magazine characters inspired by [[The Shadow]]:
** ''[[The Spider]]''
** [[wikipedia:The Phantom Detective|The Phantom Detective]]
** ''[[The Avenger]]''.
* ''[[Zorro]]'', [[Older Than They Think|who was a main influence to the creation of Batman]].
* ''[[Batman]]'', in many prose books and movie novelizations.
* [[Philip Pullman]]'s ''Spring-Heeled Jack'' is basically described as "Batman in [[Victorian Britain]]", and it suits.
* The Opera Ghost in [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld/Maskerade|Maskerade]]'', while mostly a parody of, well, [[The Phantom of the Opera|exactly who you'd expect]], has a brief scene where he takes down a gang of muggers in a very Cowl-esque way.
Line 64:
* NightHaunt, in ''[[In Hero Years… I'm Dead]]''. {{spoiler|Too bad, he's also the [[Big Bad]]}}
* Dr Shade in [[Kim Newman]]'s fiction. A British [[Captain Ersatz]] of the Shadow, he's so mysterious that the closest he's come to appearing in a story is as a spirit based on a fictional character in "The Original Doctor Shade". In settings where he's real (such as the ''[[Diogenes Club]]'' series ... [[Broad Strokes|usually]]), he is [[The Ghost|only referenced]], often as someone the Diogenes heroes really don't want involved, because it'll lead to a lot of dead people and no real answers.
* ''[[The Black Saint]]'' eventually becomes this.
