Huseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of Batman, has accused “The Dark Knight” producers of using the city’s name without permission.

“There is only one Batman in the world,” Kalkan said.

Someone sounds like a bitter Michael Keaton fan.

No one from the town of Batman has explained why it took so many years to take legal action.

Let me take a crack at it:

A. They are represented by the erratic law firm Dent and Dent, LLC.

B. The Turkish court system are overcrowded with cases of goat-snatching.

Undoubtedly the fact that “Dark Knight” is about to pass the $1 billion mark at the B.O. played a part in stirring the ire of the Turkish hamlet.

C. Oh yeah, that too.

The mayor is prepping a series of charges against Nolan and Warner Bros., which owns the right to the Batman character, including placing the blame for a number of unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate on the psychological impact that the film’s success has had on the city’s inhabitants.

This sounds like a case…….for Batman.

Former natives of Batman are also said to have encountered obstacles when attempting to register their businesses abroad.

“Excuse me you are from where?”

“I said, I am from Batman.”

“Sure buddy, and my uncles from Green Lantern, get the hell outta here.”
