I was going to bring up gladiator in my original post, but didn’t think anyone would get the reference. Forgot where I was!
And as far as having a little yellow target on your chest…even better, get a teenager in bright red, green and yellow to stand right next to you!
Actually, it’s a black bat in a yellow oval.
In any event, the original Batman, IIRC, didn’t have the yellow oval. It was just the black bat against the grey outfit.

Was it a ripoff, or homage? Didn’t they also do a Shi’ar version of Captain Kirk, Spock et. al?

I’d say ripoff simply because of the Cockrum connection. A homage is usually done by someone other than the creator of the original.
