I have it from anonymous sources that when Hillary and Obama meet their maker, this symbol will be shown...

Well, we'll have to wait and see. It's not common for an actor to play the role of "Batman," so my gut says, no, it's not common for an actor to receive a dying send-off such as the one pictured in the OP.

I don't recall something similar being done when or George Reeve or Chris Reeve died. But then the character they played didn't have a "signal" that was part of the "story" associated with them.

He played a popular character and avoided controversy in his private life, thus was well liked by many. That's not very common any more.
