Variety – Huseyin Kalkan, mayor of the predominantly Kurdish town located in the Batman province of Turkey on the Batman River, is preparing to file a series of charges against Nolan and Warner Bros. for royalties from the blockbuster film.
It seems they used Batman without Batman’s permission.
The mayor also hopes to pin a number of unsolved murders along with the town’s female suicide rate on the psychological impact the film’s success had on Batman’s inhabitants.
Do you think The Dark Knight grossing almost $1 billion might have something to do with it?
Warner says no legal papers have been served yet.
