Holy Gratuitous Lawsuit, Batman!

[booster17]

The mayor of an actual Turkish city called Batman announced over the weekend he plans to sue director Chris Nolan over unauthorized use of the "Batman" name. Apparently, Batman has a problem with unsolved murders and a high suicide rate among women. And it’s all Nolan’s fault. Not DC Comics, Warner Brothers or the estate of Bob Kane. Makes perfect

Good luck with that one - It's been a word in the English language for several hundred years, and as a trademark it belongs to DC / Warner etc., not Nolan. I'm sure that the nice lawyers will explain it to them at inordinate expensive length...

O.O.

Okay. Thats an odd way of saving one's economy. Just reminds me of the woman who sued Kelloggs when her house burned down because she left pop-tarts in her toaster while taking her kids to school. Not the toaster, but the Pop-tart was at fault.
