Dark Knight Director Sued By Batman

[xitel]

Hmmm... did Batman, Turkey hold international copyright on the name Batman? No? Then TOO BAD!

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

Fucking Turkey man, I swear.

I wonder what Nolan's reaction was when he first heard "Batman is suing us."

 

[Lord Harrab]

Quick! to the lawsuit-mobile! Via the international court of copyright cave!

I so want to go and visit Batman now, asking everybody I meet "Where's the batcave?". This is one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a long time!

This is why most of the world views Americans as money grubbing sue-monkeys (no offence to HONEST americans)

Dear god, I would make some sort of witty statement at this juncture, but I'm crying tears of laughter.

I mean, anyone can see this is the work of the Riddler.

Nope you're wrong there, it's actually the new Mayor of 'Batman' who is orchestrating this whole scheme and that man is...
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot!
Or better known as, The Penguin! It's one of his ridiculous attempts at thwarting the real Batman whilst making money in the process.

I dedicate the bubbly laugh inspired by this particular exchange to the Escapist Community. I love you guys.

Absolutely 100% agreed, this little banter made my entire night, thanks!!!

Haha what idiots. Not a chance in hell.

That's in Michigan.

I thought this thread would be about Christian Bale going from Adam Sandler to Tom Cruise on the "flinging shit" chart. So, an obscure town in an equally obscure part of the world is giving everyone a headache? Fun.

 

[Ionami]

For god's sakes man... it's different languages!!!

/trial

 

[Samurai Goomba]

I'm gonna name myself Family Guy, so that I can sue for the oodles of undeserved money that series has been raking in.

Seriously, though... This is just concentrated failure.

[SinfulKnight]

Next America Sues for Captain America, Turkey will sue because we eat turkeys and Africa will sue because Resident Evil is set in Africa. I couldve gotten so Racist a moment ago. I'm proud of myself. *Pats his back*

You have got to be shitting me, well since the comic character existed before the city, they have no claim.

 

[GaD]

wow ...just wow

the only reason people die of suicide there is because they forget to inhale oxygen

idiots

 

[Vortigar]

This has to be a tip-off for the next film!
Which Batman villain is from Turkey?
Uhm... Santa Claus?

BMvsSC, coming december 25th to a cinema near you.

Well, after the whole affair with Lesbos trying to sue the English language as a whole and wanting to get Lesbian to mean 'from Lesbos' again this seems...

No it's still silly.

 

[ManiacRaccoon]

Haha what idiots. Not a chance in hell.

Speaking of which, why hasn't Hell, Michigan sued for that name yet?

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Stomach...hurts...can´t..breath...lol

Although, city of Batman sounds kinda cool. I bet everyone there drives around in batmobiles.

 

[Abedeus]

"The American producers used the name of our city without informing us."




WHAT WHAT WHAT?!



Okay, I'm officially suing the creators of Guild Wars. There is a monster named "Dupek the Mighty" which translated to Polish means "Asshole the Mighty". And that's all proof you need.



$1000000 and three good Hawaian islands. Not the lepper ones.

The thread's from last November, before that incident. Does anyone know how this has progressed?

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Hahahaha. Oh lawd!
