Turkish Mayor Suing Batman Director


A Turkish mayor is suing the director of the latest Batman film because he claims he stole the name of his city. The Mayor of Batman, an ancient oil-producing city in southeastern Turkey, is hoping to receive royalties if he is successful in suing director Christopher Nolan.

Hüseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of the city, claims that American producers took the name of his city without telling him or his people. He said: There is only one Batman in the world. The American producers used the name of our city without informing us.
