I don't agree with this. The files having SAM in them is not proof of anything really. Especially considering that SAM had been intended to be put in instead of DRK, but they decided against it because they had just released NIN not long before.

Yoshi-P's hints are much more direct. DRK was Batman... the Dark Knight. MCH was 007. RDM was the Scarlet Witch.

So the meaning behind the Spiderman shirt is going to be much more direct than an obscure reference to the director of a few movies involving Spiderman, IMO. BLU seems much more likely, especially considering the New Year's message and the fact that a hero who is bitten by a spider gains that spider's powers. Something that is much more direct a reference.
