MSNBC - Batman has battled quite a few foes over the years, including The Joker, The Riddler, Two Face and The Penguin. But now, the Caped Crusader could have a new enemy, the city of Batman. The mayor of the real city of Batman — an oil-producing city in southeast Turkey — is reportedly suing “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., seeking royalties from this summer’s box-office blockbuster, according to Variety.  In his lawsuit, Huseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of Batman, is accusing Nolan and the studio of using the city’s name without permission. “There is only one Batman in the world,” Kalkan said. “The American producers used the name of our city without informing us.”  Among the charges are a claim that the use of the Batman name is to blame for several unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate, based on the psychological impact that the film’s success has had on the city’s inhabitants, Variety reported.

See this is the problem with having democracy in 3rd world countries.  They don’t even know how it works.  Everybody knows that you can’t sue across countries like this.   Seriously wake up dude.   Listen it would be one thing if the city of Batman was located in Nebraska or if Warner Brothers was located in Istanbul, but that’s obviously not the case.    So even if chicks in the city of Batman are killing themselves because they can’t handle the movie’s box office success (which is probably true) Mr. Huseyin Kalkan is still shit out of luck.
