I'm digging this. Keaton is playing an actor famous for portraying Birdman, and is working on getting a musical off the ground. It's going to be a dark comedy. Keaton looks like shit. I'm in.

That looks a hell of a lot more like Blue Falcon than Birdman.

That's a birdman, not THE Birdman.

Wouldn't Hanna Barbara own the rights to the name Birdman?

Harvey Birdman, perhaps, but probably not Birdman.
I think it's more that particular likeness/representation that would be owned by HB.

The estate of Tom Gaddis might have prior claim. I suppose it depends on how aggressively HB would want to defend their alleged trademark.
