‘Batlencia’: Batman and Valencia FC unite to fight evil.

The La Liga club’s badge also features a bat.

SPANISH football club Valencia FC, whose club badge features a bat, have revealed that they have joined Batman in his fight against evil and as a result, have dubbed the city ‘Batlencia’.

To mark the release of the movie ‘The Batman’, the La Liga club have revealed a promotional poster in which the caped crusader is seen as a Valencia player as well as the comic book hero.

In a Twitter post on Tuesday, April 19, the club posted a picture of a giant billboard, which can be seen on the side of one of the buildings in the Manuel Sanchis Guarner square in Valencia, near the locally known ‘Pink Panther’ roundabout.

Dubbed ‘Batlencia’, the football club from the sunny Spanish city noted that the ‘two bats had united’ to fight the enemy known as Enigma.
