Yup, Warner Bros has a pile of lawyers who will issue cease and desist 

letters at pretty much a drop of the hat. I'm not sure if it's their 

trademark or their copyright their protecting, but they are vigilant and 

nasty. As someone who's drawn a pile of Batman stuff for them, you don't 

want to mess with these people. 


Acme City is their site with free web space where you can use Warners 

characters and they won't hassle you.
