When we think about Robin Hood, we think about the man who robbed the rich and gave to the poor... Yet his legacy stretches far beyond his influence stretches far beyond the Sherwood Forest, even to places we might not expect.
Superheroes get their names and stories from all kinds of sources. Superman grew into a legend from the imaginations of two boys, Spiderman crawled into comics from the creative genius of Stan Lee, and Batman began as a different kind of detective comic by Bob Kane...
One of DC's staple heroes got his start as Hood wannabe: Oliver Queen costumed as Robin Hood and transformed into the Green Arrow. And for a little while in the
Smallville universe, Lois dressed as his Maid Marian.
You really don't have to look very far to see Robin Hood's legacy...
