Batman sues Batman … only one will win
Not a superhero with supernatural abilities, or a person wealthy enough to buy high-tech toys to fight evil, but a simple human being named Hüseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of the southeastern city of Batman, declared war against his city’s namesake superhero, Batman.
“The royalty of the name ‘Batman’ belongs to us … There is only one Batman in the world. The American producers used the name of our city without informing us,” Kalkan told to the Do?an news agency. Batman is a centuries old city, taking root in the Neolithic age but becoming significant when oil was found in the region at the end of 1940s. Almost a decade before that, Batman was created as a comic hero. Kalkan is going to sue Christopher Nolan, the director of the latest Batman movie “The Dark Night,” not DC Comics, the creator of the superhero.
I’m not sure there’s much else to say.
This is the best location-vs.-people lawsuit since the isle of Lesbos sued homosexual females for use of the term “lesbian.” Seriously. Look it up.
There’s a town called Batman? Goodbye Omaha.
[…] Batman sues Batman. Just goes to show you that people are willing to file a lawsuit for any reason possible. […]
