The Lone Ranger and Green Hornet radio shows were created by the same man and had small hidden connections. Green Hornet was the son of Lone Ranger's nephew, a supporting character. I always like to think that Seth Rogen's Green Hornet and Armie Hammer's Lone Ranger share this connection because they're both similar reboots of the characters, being more comedic and specifically having the leads be less effective than their respective sidekicks.
