In the end The Shadow spawned a wave of super heroes. A super hero that is extremely like The Shadow is Batman. The Shadow is known to everyone in his life outside of fighting crime as Lamount Cranston (Kent Allard is his original name). Lamount is a wealthy young man just like Bruce Wayne is. While The Shadow uses rings that can light up when someone is needed, Batman gets signaled by a huge light in the sky. Also while The Shadow can turn invisible when he does not want people to see him, Batman can sneak out of a room without anyone in that room noticing.

In the end The Shadow created the way for super heroes alike. So the next time your reading a comic book just remember The Shadow started it all.
