    Solid Gold Warner Brothers being sued over The Dark Knight

    Can't make this shit up.

    The Dark Knight: For Your Consideration

    November 11, 2008


    Warner Bros. Pictures has launched a "For Your Consideration" website for The Dark Knight which includes the full script for the film!

    In related news, Variety says the major of an oil-producing city in southeastern Turkey named "Batman" is suing director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. for royalties from The Dark Knight.

    Huseyin Kalkan, the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party mayor of Batman, has accused the film's producers 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."

    We wish him the best of luck. More details here.

    Also, The Dark Knight has reached a worldwide total of $997.6 million ($528.6 million domestically, $469 million internationally) and should be able to cross the $1 billion mark with the re-release in January.

    Seriously? The mayor of Batman? This is one of the dumbest lawsuits I've ever heard of.

    It's amazing what people will come up with to sue someone over.
    "For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home."

    Man Hits His Own Car Then Sues Himself

    Posted on: Thursday, 16 March 2006, 09:00 CST

    LODI, Calif. - When a dump truck backed into Curtis Gokey's car, he decided to sue the city for damages. Only thing is, he was the one driving the dump truck. But that minor detail didn't stop Gokey, a Lodi city employee, from filing a $3,600 claim for the December accident, even after admitting the crash was his fault.

    After the city denied that claim because Gokey was, in essence, suing himself, he and his wife, Rhonda, decided to file a new claim under her name.

    City Attorney Steve Schwabauer said this one also lacks merit because Rhonda Gokey can't sue her own husband.

    "You can sue your spouse for divorce, but you can't sue your spouse for negligence," Schwabauer said. "They're a married couple under California law. They're one entity. It's damage to community property."

    But Rhonda Gokey insisted she has "the right to sue the city because a city's vehicle damaged my private vehicle."

    In fact, her claim, currently pending at Lodi City Hall, is for an even larger amount - $4,800.

    "I'm not as nice as my husband is," she said.
