If there's a town called Joker anywhere on the planet, you can be sure that it's mayor is watching this very closely... and possibly laughing maniacally.

Why? What for? How come? who do they? when? I would put where but it is in the town of batman. I would saw that they lost their chance. Batman was trademarked without them making a complaint
In the words of Lewis Black, "Don't think about this for more than 3 minutes or blood will shoot out your nose."
I honestly think this is the kinda thing people get aneurysms from trying to wrap their brains around. The stupidity level of the whole concept gets so intolerable that the human brain smashes itself to a pulp against the inside of the skull in a futile attempt to escape the growing black hole of absurdity

Hopefully the people of Batman, Turkey will need to prove malicious intent to profit from the name of the town Batman, and that, you know, Bob Kane didn't think "A man in a bat suit... I'll call him Bat... MAN, Batman, perfect!"
*sighs* Never underestimate the unpredictability of stupidity when idiots band together in large numbers.
Turkey? Surely then the "Batman" of Turkey is not the "BAT-inspired MAN" of western pop culture but something else in Turkish? Anyone know what the Turkish Batman actually translates to?
While it sounds like the Turkish city officials are trying it on as a slim gamble for it working, I suspect the grain of truth is that the movie studios involved may have decided that no-one can use the letter combination "Batman" in the US without their permission, even when "Batman Bicycles" from Turkey wants to open up shop in Michigan (I made that up, and I'm only speculating..)
Take a moment to list all the fictional characters you know who are named after cities... (In your head.)

I've never written nor spoken these words before. But at this time, there is little else to say but, EPIC FAIL.
Seriously, haven't these people got better things to do?
Also, anyone else find it slightly ironic that this town waits for the first Batman film, without Batman in the title, to sue for copying the name Batman? Did they some how miss all the others?

us canadians did that about a month agopaulgruberman said:
as for the lawsuit, it won't go very far, in the states i doubt it would even go to court, might get further in turkey
Haha there's actually a street in Brisbane called Batman Street. Is the city of Batman going to sue them to? Of course not, because the people there didn't make a billion dollars from a single movie.
This lawsuit is the most pathetic, juvenile and most see-through case I've ever heard of.... thankyou for brightening up my day. /Big hugs
