This past week, the mayor of Batman, Turkey is suing Warner Bros. for using the name of the city without its permission in the summer blockbuster Dark Knight. All I have to say is, really? I mean if this really was an issue the city had prior to Dark Knight, why didn't the sue the previous Batman movies and franchise? I mean, it's pretty obvious that the city/mayor is just after the money (or at least some infamy). Other cities such as Paris and New York never sue the countless production companies that invoke their city name numerous times in countless other movies. Nor does Paris, France sue Paris, Idaho for having the same name. I mean...really, how many rights can you hold to a name?
But no matter, I have a strong hunch that Batman, Turkey's suit will not hold up in court. However, its really the principle of the thing...
