When a nickname can bring you into question with a multinational comics company. It is the story of Pine Cut it, former goalkeeper among others of Naples and Bari, nicknamed Batman, to the point of using the image of the popular superhero too in its official profiles on Instagram. One thing that didn’t go down at DC Comics, the comic book house that gave birth to the hero of Gotham: “He attacked me – explains Taglialatela to Radio Mars – the real Batman lashed out at me. They asked me to remove the trademark, which is not Batman’s anyway because I wanted to register Pino Bat. This has bothered us, we are struggling: they ask us to remove the brand and images, even if we have not done and will not do merchandising. I have no idea how they got there, we haven’t created shirts or anything else to sell and I never will, but I would like to keep the brand for an emotional matter, it’s part of my career “.
