THE DARK KNIGHT Blamed For Unsolved Murders And High Female Suicide Rate In Turkey!!

I’m thinking maybe a Dubai stringer at Variety mistook something in The Onion for real news. Apparently the mayor of the Turkish city of Batman is gearing up to sue Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. While apparently David S. Goyer and Bob Kane's heirs go scott free. From the trade paper:

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.
