WHAT ARE YOU, THE JOKER?

The mayor of Batman, Turkey, is planning to sue Warner Bros., the company which owns the Batman character, for an undisclosed amount of royalties from the movie “The Dark Knight.” “There is only one Batman in the world,” said mayor Huseyin Kalkan. “The American producers used the name of our city without informing us.” His lawsuit also claims that the psychological impact of the film has caused a number of unsolved murders and a higher than usual rate of suicide among the women of his town since the film premiered.
