"Batman sues Batman over Batman"

[Datech]

I kid you not. So far I've seen a TV report and two news articles online.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11...y_sues_batman/

"The mayor of Batman, Turkey, is suing Warner Bros. and The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan for using the Cape Crusader's name without the city's permission."

Might want to protect any Batman case mods and inspired art while you're at it guys... Probably a good thing we don't have any Batman smilies either.

Wait... WHAT?

[mittelmeier]

Wow, just wow. I don't see that suit getting very far in the legal system.

[nevermind1534]

Batman wasn't f*cin named after the city.

[SXRguyinMA]

WTF is that? thats messed up

[xRyokenx]

Well, I suppose this is gonna kill some tourism, as Batman fans won't go to Batman wearing Batman clothes for fear of being sued by Batman for liking Batman. Batman.

to the batcave!

[ShockTheBox]

Thats actually pretty funny. I am sure that if they used borat as the lawyer that it will turn out fine for all parties lol nice find

[Luke122]

This has to be a joke.

*edit*
O.M.G. Batman (the city) is real. Batman (The river) is real.

Too bad that they are about what.. 50 years (?) too late to serve notice. Also, Batman is a town/city in Uzbekistan.

Holy duplicate caped crusader names! The question is will that hold up in a US court or a Batman court.
