70 years of Batman and they didn't notice. they should counter sue for being a c**t

I'm pretty sure Bruce can settle this out of court.

"batman" has been a word much longer than DC Comics, as a name for "a soldier acting as the servant of an officer."

The Turks gonna take on the language of Her Majesty's Empire, too?

Maybe Turkey should have got some lawyers first.

The way trademark law works with pre-existing words is that you have to be passing off your good for theirs.

I'm pretty sure noone is confusion a comic book hero with a random little town in Turkey.

I wish I lived in Batman.

In fact, I wish I was in Wonderwoman. Mmmm.

Screw it. Dave, my personal fantasy was always Kitty Pryde or Rogue.

Rogue would be a one night stand

And you´ll end up dead

Psylocke!!! (in Jim Lee style)

I wish I lived in Batman.

And all their inhabitants are indeed Batmen!!!

This guy should be counter-sued for wasting a human beings time.

The whole country should be sued by flightless delicious birds.

They could have also sued Marvel Inc. as they have two characters called Bantam, which is an anagram of Batman...

And I shall sue Stephen Sommers for using my name for one of his characters in the Mummy movie (yep, I'm called Beni as well and I must say I'm not happy with the portrayal of the char. with the same name in The Mummy).

In other news, Turkey was sued by turkies for using their name for the name of their country.
