This is batty.

There is a real-life province in Turkey named Batman, and some people from other parts of the world think they need to change.


Yes, Batman is a city in Turkey whose population is estimated to be around 500,000. The town was called Iluh until the 1940s when oil was discovered in the area. It was renamed Batman in 1957 after a nearby river - a tributary of the Tigris.



The river earned its name from an ancient Turkish unit of measure.



Unfortunately for eager fans, Batman, Turkey and the superhero only share a name. But two weeks ago, Kemal Atakan Kırca started a petition on Change.org to narrow the divide between the two Batmans.



He wants their map to go from this.

To this.

As of today, Kirca has rallied over 22,000 signatures and he is well on his way toward his 25,000 signature goal.



The Internet is ready to update their maps.









"Why not?? #batman #turkey I already signed it. 😀"









Oh, and the city also has a University. Yes, that's right. Batman University.









Alma mater goals!

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
