Christopher Nolan being sued by Batman
The mayor of the city of Batman, Turkey, is suing the director and studio
"...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. "
Oh my, where to begin with this one.
First of all, why don't we have an actual "Gotham City" here in the US? Maybe there is one. I know that NYC is referred to as Gotham, but I fully believe we should rename NYC. The next big question is, which city should be renamed "Metropolis"? Maybe Chicago? Dallas? LA?
Anyway, I digress. Can you believe this crap? Take 'em to court and if "Batman" loses, Christopher Nolan and DC Comics should get the oil profits. Frivolous lawsuits are for the most part, by their very nature, utterly ridiculous. This one is admittedly slightly amusing, but still. Knock it off with these idiot suits.
Otherwise, this will set a precedent for more idiocy:
Will Pope Benedict sue Pope Resources (NasdaqGSM:POPE)? Actually, His Holiness would do well to stay away from the stock market.
Will England sue New England (defamation of character, implying that England is not "new", therefore "old and stinky")?
What about Gap, Arkansas? There's a major clothing store/line they could easily profit from.
Can I sue Intercourse, PA for mocking my sadly celibate state in the mid-90s?
Boggles the mind.

Message to Huseyin Kalkan from Warner Brothers:
Hey you fucking idiot,
Stop clogging up the already overburdened legal system.
You claim that the use of the Batman name is to blame for several unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate? You don't need the Dark Knight Detective to figure out your inept "police" force and your societal mistreatment of women are the villains here.
No wonder your city is going to hell, as you're too busy with frivilous lawsuits to actually fix any of the problems. Nice leadership.
P.S. KalKan pet foods will be suing you for associating their name with pure stupidity.
Go get 'em, horroru!!
I'm moving to The Elongated ManVille
That's in Armenia.
