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.

the stupid thing about it is that 'the dark knight' is the first Batman movie without the word 'batman' in the title!
looks like nice place..
The first Batman movie was...called..."Batman", and made in 1943.
