You can't make this stuff up: According to Variety, CNN, and other outlets, Warner Brothers and director Christopher Nolan are being sued by the mayor of Batman, a city in southeastern Turkey, for using the town's name without permission.

Presumably the citizens of Hellboy, Lithuania, are calling their lawyers.

Ok lets get real here folks.................the name goes back a long time ago when Bob Kane first put pen to paper. Where was the law suit then. Did this country just get cable?....Come on.

Yeah this is crazy. Batman was around since my great grand mother days.

They probably need money
The judge will throw this out

Is there going to be another lawsuit if we eat TURKEY on Thanksgiving?

Would we all be considered cannibals?
I think greed is the main factor here. Perhaps they should get some breadcrumbs and stuff them where we stuff our TURKEYS..~~~~~
