Hope the judge fines him for making a frivolous lawsuit. What an idiot. They got the same name, but for completely different reasons (one named after the Bati Raman mountains, the other a combination of the words “bat” and “man”, hence the insignia and costume). That and their town didn’t become anything more then a village til the 50’s, whereas the Batman character has been around since 1939. 10-to-1 this guy’s the one and only person on the entire planet who’s never heard of Batman, so it’s a complete shock to him to see a character in a movie called Batman. But even so, you gotta be a flaming idiot to think that that name has anything at all to do with his town. He’s called Batman because he’s a man who dresses as a bat. He isn’t related to Turkey, the Turkish city of Batman, the Bati Raman Mountains, or anything of the sort.
There’s a family in my community with the last name of Batman. Wonder if this guy will sue them, as well?
I think that settles that. One question, since Batman the comic has been around since 1939, should WB counter-sue the city for copyright infringement?
