Chief Man-of-the-Bats and Little Raven

From Batman #86 (September 1954),
"Batman -- Indian Chief!":





Pretty straight-forward story idea: Batman has to impersonate somebody who had patterned themselves on Batman (sort of like in "Ride, Bat-Hombre, Ride!" thirty issues before this story).
At the end, Batman and Robin are successful!



Then, over fifty years later, Grant Morrison would bring back Chief Man-of-the-Bats (real name: Great Eagle) and his son Little Raven (real name: Little Eagle), but with a few changes.

First, he retroactively added them to the group known as "The International Club of Heroes" and changed the group back to having a connection with Batman and Robin (something Roy Thomas had altered after CoIE).

from Batman #667 (September 2007)
He also changed their names to "Man-of-Bats" and "Raven Red" (with their real names later revealed to be Dr. William Eagle and Charlie Eagle) and introduced some . . . tension . . . between the two.


The two later were a part of Batman, Incorporated as well.

Here are the flashback pages to "Twelve years ago", when Man-of-the-Bats and Little Raven were shown to have joined "The Club of Heroes" as shown in Batman #668 (September 2007) and Batman #669 (November 2007)
