The Signal and Dark Claw's costumes do have different uses of color - with the latter falling way more in line with Batman's predominantly-black outfit. But it's hard to deny that the pair's costumes do share a common silhouette, with similar shoulder padding and utility belts.
The easiest comparison can be made with the pair's helmets, both of which are yellow with black accents over the eyes and the side of the face. While Dark Claw's features a more exaggerated silhouette - as to be expected, as his comic appearances were drawn in the 90s - they definitely both give off a similar vibe.
Of course, this is easily just a strong coincidence, and much of Duke's costume can easily be justified from his role as Gotham's daytime protector. And according to Cully Hamner, who will be drawing Batman and The Signal, Duke's costume will have a few updates when the comic actually hits stores. Still, the comparison between the two is pretty amusing - especially for eagle-eyed comics fans.
