Batman, Turkey

Today I was trying to book travel for a Harvard Professor traveling to Irbil (aka Erbil or Arbil) in Iraqi Kurdistan. It turns out it's a really hard place to get there. I also learned that there is a nearby city in Turkey called Batman. It's not rinky dinky. It has an airport and it's apparently a little self-conscious about its name. In 2008, the mayor of Batman sued Warner Bros. and The Dark Knight Director Christopher Nolan for using the name without permission. Read more about that here.
