Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

The mayor of Batman, Turkey is suing Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros Productions for using the town's name without permission as the basis of one of their stories.

Haha! You thought that I meant the REAL Batman right? The Dark Knight? The brooding vigilante who strikes fear in the hearts of evil-doers everywhere?

Well….keep reading.

As far fetched and as laughable as this scheme might seem, it could very well work in his favor and net the crafty little Turkish Mayor a bit of Batman's vast fortune. You see, this isn't the FIRST time that the Mayor has used this tactic, as back in 2007 he went after DC Comics and (Wait. The DC in DC Comics stands for "Detective Comics". So the name of their company is technically Detective Comics Comics? Isn't that a bit redundant redundant?) settled out of court for an UNDISCLOSED amount of cash. Which he then allegedly used to fund terrorism, as he was charged in February of 2008 for promoting terrorism and sentenced to 10 months in jail.

Let me sum that up.

Batman, took money from BATMAN in order to FUND TERRORISTS. How is THAT for a prime example of the circle of life?! He busts the bad guys, then gives them money to train NEW bad guys so that he has someone to bust?

It's like that af-

No. No. I can't do it. I can't sit here and mock everything that the Dark Knight stands for! To even joke that Batman could have ANYTHING in common with a terrorist leader wanted by the world is ridiculous. For one, Batman doesn't wear one of those weird head wrappy things that turns his noggin into a man-burrito. He wears a MASK, which is WAY cooler because it hides his identity without making him look like he just stepped out of the shower to answer the phone.

Batman is a gleaming symbol of vigilante justice! Sure he might have to side step a few of the smaller laws in order to bash in the head of a bad guy, but to compare him to a known, wanted, TERRORIST? How far of a stretch is THAT? I mean one of them is a billionaire who spends a good chunk of his time hidden away in a secret cave in some unknown location, where he hides out building weapons and gadgets that help him in his life's mission, and the other is...

...

....

You know what? THAT isn't the point.

The point is that if this is true, and if Nolan and Warner Bros settle out of court, each and everyone of us along with ANYONE who has ever rented, bought, or read a Batman comic or movie has helped in his or her own actions...TO FUND TERRORISM.

Son of a bitch. We're all going to jail.

This plot is something straight out of the very comic world that the town gets its name from. That's right, they made me go and do RESEARCH. So I say this because Batman, Turkey wasn't "Batman" until 1955. DC has been using Batman the superhero since 1939. You would think that the lawyers for Detective Comics Comics would have checked that little fact fact before they paid paid, and inadvertently made us all unknowing contributors to global terrorism.

So what does this mean for us? For the next up and coming Batman movie?

I have no clue, because I'm too busy using MSPaint to put a Batman mask on Osama.

But I can tell you what this WILL mean if Nolan and Warner Bros roll over like DC Comics did and give this whack job even a penny - especially since he was ARRESTED for promoting terrorism. It'll mean that you're giving money to a company that gives money to terrorists, which means you should probably invest in a lucky glow in the dark snorkel, because there will be some water boarding in your near future.

And not the fun kind that you do in the lake with a speed boat.

THE OTHER kind, that you do in a dank cave usually reserved for storing vehicles named after yourself and hiding pinups of Robin in seductive poses.

Yeah. NOW you see why he makes Robin wear the tights.
