    2. Famous Names Crimes: (Batman) To join Gotham's Namesake Club you must be named after a famous historical figure. After a man named Robin Hood is rejected because it was a nickname and not the namesake's real name, he storms off saying he hopes they all come to a bad end, just as their namesakes did. When members soon start dying in manners similar to their namesakes Hood is naturally suspected but turns out to be innocent. In fact, the club's vice president was killing them to get the money they had bequeathed to the club in their wills.
