Turkish Province Wasn't Asked Permission

Batman, the small subdistrict of Ankara, Turkey announced on Wednesday their attention to sue Warner Bros. for its Batman movie franchise.  According to the story at India's Top News, Batman mayor Huseyin Kalkan feels permission should have been obtained prior to filming. The very first filmed Batman was the 1943 serial with the first full-length feature being the 1966 movie with the television cast. More recently, The Dark Knight amassed $992,764,009 in global box office receipts according to Box Office Mojo.

Batman became a distinct subdistrict in 1937, two years before the character's debut in Detective Comics #27. The name comes from the Batman River and as it prospered it first became a town of Siirt in 1957, and in 1990 was made its own province.

"There is only one Batman in this world," said Kalkan. "Without telling us, the US makers of the films have taken the name of our region."

The mayor confirmed for the press that he would file suit in the United States if it came to that.

   Good luck.       Maybe I should sue them to, because I know they used my name (Chuck) in some movies.

As stupid as it sounds some judge here in the USA will be dumb enough to allow the case and actually hear it out. And they will probably wind up with some kind of a settlement. Lets not forget the USA is the same stupid judicial system that gave someone what was it $20Million for spilling hot coffee on their lap after going through a McDonalds drive through and ordering coffee. And because they lid didn't say "CAUTION" they won the suit. Yeah logic isn't something they use too much of in court sometimes.
