Re: Warner Brothers Tells Turkey To Eff Off
2 years ago? This just happened last November, so it hasn't even been a year yet. I kept forgetting to post this video, but here is a backdrop for what this is all about:
Christopher Nolan being sued by Batman
The mayor of the city of Batman, Turkey, is suing the director and studio
Batman has battled quite a few foes over the years, including The Joker, The Riddler, Two Face and The Penguin.
But now, the Caped Crusader could have a new enemy, the city of Batman.
The mayor of the real city of Batman — an oil-producing city in southeast Turkey — is reportedly suing “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., seeking royalties from this summer’s box-office blockbuster, according to Variety.
In his lawsuit, Huseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of Batman, is accusing Nolan and the studio of using the city’s name without permission.
“There is only one Batman in the world,” Kalkan said. “The American producers used the name of our city without informing us.”
According to Variety, Kalkan is compiling a series of charges against the director and Warner Bros., which owns the right to the Batman character.
Among the charges are a claim that the use of the Batman name is to blame for several unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate, based on the psychological impact that the film’s success has had on the city’s inhabitants, Variety reported.
Kalkan claims he has evidence, which will show the city of Batman was founded before the 1939 debut of Bob Kane’s DC Comics superhero by the same name.
When contacted by Variety, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. said they have not been served with any lawsuit yet by Kalkan.
“We are only aware of this claim via press reports and have not seen any actual legal action,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
To date, “The Dark Knight,” starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, has grossed over $994 million worldwide.
This sounds like an EXCELLENT time for WB to give the green light on an Armenian Genocide movie. What better way to get back at Turkey for its retardedness?

Re: Warner Brothers Tells Turkey To Eff Off
Oh I know. No major company would have the balls to tell off another person/entity in this manner, no matter how well deserved it was. Instead, they puss out for PC and PR reasons. But still.....I'm sure the actual WB is not to pleased with the insulting, ridiculous claims of this backwoods reject. And so, I still motion that WB make a graphic, full blown, star-studded cast movie about the AG.Comment

Re: Warner Brothers Tells Turkey To Eff Off
The corporate name honors the four founding Warner brothers (born Wonskolaser), Harry (born Hirsz), Albert (born Aaron), Sam (born Szmul), and Jack (born Itzhak), J3ws who emigrated from Poland, Russian Empire to Ontario, Canada. The three elder brothers began in the exhibition business, having acquired a movie projector with which they showed films in the mining towns of Pennsylvania and Ohio.Originally posted by Crimson Glow View Post
What are the chances of that?
