Rihanna has found a new enemy…in Batman.
Yes, this week has seen the star see her once secret battle with the fictional character thrown into the light before the release of her new album.
Full story below..
Roraj Trade holds the trademarks for Rihanna’s numerous brands and applied to register the name ‘Robyn’ on June 23rd 2014.
However, May 11th 2015 saw the singer learn that her move had been blocked by DC Comics because ‘Robin’ is the first name of the character of DC hero Robin…of Batman & Robin.
DC’s Notice of Opposition was submitted on May 11 in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by James D. Weinberger of Fross, Zelnick, Lehrman and Zissu.
Robyn is Rihanna’s first name. Robin is half of DC’s “Dynamic Duo” — and the company notes that it owns numerous trademarks on the Robin name, including ones established in 1984, for a toy doll, and in 1990 related to comic books.
Originally the alter ego of a circus acrobat named Dick Grayson, Robin first reared his masked head in a 1940 issue of DC’s Detective Comics. He was the brainchild of Batman creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger, as well as Joker mastermind Jerry Robinson. Various incarnations of the Robin character have appeared in comics, films and television over the years.
DC argues that the proposed online magazine is “identical and/or highly related” to DC’s existing product and believes that since both could potentially be sold to the same types of customers, people “are likely to be deceived into falsely believing” that they are somehow connected. A digital magazine called Robyn that isn’t about the Boy Wonder “is likely to cause confusion, cause mistake, or to deceive the public” into think it’s from DC, the complaint argues.
really??? This is so hot damn dumb. Y’all niccas could have found a better story SMH
Rihannas music career is over like ciara and Beyoncés
Shade Ciara,but leave Rihanna and yonce out of this.
Lol right. I knew it was stupid when I read the title.
Like seriously, what did I just read?? lol
Reachingggggg!
If Rihtarda had any imagination or creativity at all, she would be able to quickly come up with a new name for her “brand”.
DC please, they’re not even spelled the same. No one is going to look at Rihanna and say, ooh, when will she become Nightwing? Do they own the word Joker as well? FOH!.They need to be kissing @ss and hope that Batman V Superman works out, because if it flops or underperforms, it’s a wrap caise they have films lined up to 2021. They been Marvil lessors for decades. Sorry, the nerd just came out
That is so true. However DC is killing it on network televison with their shows unlike Marvel. The Flash & Arrow are doing wonderful numbers on the cw. ABC did well with Agent Carter.
Agent Carter is Marvel, not DC
He means as DC owns the tv, but Marvel did well with AC and AS.
LMAO CW though, let me guess, they put a attractive white half decent actor to play lead and call it a day right?
What kind of fuckery is this ????!!!!
Lmfao
Some battles are not worth fighting. She should just use her last name for the Magazine.
@Arie: Exactly.
Agreed.
This is ridiculous, but it’s business.
The navy always complain and say that Bet copies Rihanna while y’all force them to seem alike,just like you are trying to make Bey look just like Rihanna in that avi so y’all can say she copied Rihannas face too
It seems Rihanna will have a harder time establishing her name in fashion, lol she could trademark the name ‘Stoners’ or ‘Nocalist’
and you should trademark the name “Mr Droopy s** infested walls”
And you should think of better drags lol
Hiiiiii
Hey girl
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you couldn’t even buy a domain for your failed blog. Name that without wordpress being attached to it before you talk about anyone else business matters.

Here you go.

Sigh, same old stale drag, redundant like your fav
A Lana FLOP RAY Stan? I thought all yall lames went extinct when Kylie Jener kicked yall fav out the game
RihYeezy? A crackhead and a sociopath stan coming for me? help your favs get some likeability, one can barely keep the media from destroying his image, and the other can’t even get a number one album without years of hype, next b****
Bwahaha
*Yawn*
Oh so you finally come out of hiding Naomi? Again, you were right,
#TrollsAreCowards
Wow. I love your avi. The alien like features finally bring out the similarities between her & Rih cause we know its not talent
Hiding?
B**** have you been sniffing something lethal???
This drug isn’t even on the streets yet. You had to have invented that s*** yourself because only some newbie or clueless b**** on crack would know better than to call me a troll.
THE DIVIL IS A LIAR! YES HE IS! YES GOD PRAISE HIM!HALLELUJAH AND HALLELUYER!
N*gga you are joke. Remember in December when I was still ISFT, how obsessed you were with me, when you had no avi and you constantly trolling under my name? You wish you were me. You wish you had a fraction of my relevance. All you do is vote up your own comments various times and study my drag, but that does you no justice. Lol. Stupid d*ck sucking m***** ass n*gga. ???? ???? ???? ????
And no f**** are given.
Yep… That’s what I’d expect for a lessor and my understudy. Bye Naomi. ???? ???? ???? ✌
NEVER COME WITHOUT RECEIPTS.GIRL, this is a cardinal rule! You can’t body a bish off flimsy 2nd or 3rd person tea! Go for what YOU know. If your venom isn’t strong enough yet, sit back, bide your time & gather more intel #CarryOn!
LMFAO #LessorMentally What? That was hilarious. The funny part is that the p*** has yet to deny it. ????
Deny what?
This is a 19 second Master Class on “How to Throw Shade”.
Becoming a Master takes time, young grasshopper. Better to sit out a few rounds & learn than sully your reputation with shoddy reads before you’ve put in your time in the gym. Let this shame be a lesson. Come back to the arena when you get your weight up.
Sincerely,
Tyler
Wow. Did you just steal my drag? 😆 Lol @ my understudy who consistently steal my drags talking about “Becoming a Master”. I stopped reading after that line. This is embarrassing. I shouldn’t be attacking fans.
HA! You’re a f****** joke.
You’ve been coming for me, when in reality the person who’s really been playing the f*** outta you is somewhere laughing it up!
Usually I don’t advocate this type of behavior, but IF you’re going to engage in the shenanigans, at least be good at it, DAYUM.
A battle beside the one to get to the top of the billboard
batman sucks…superman sucks
the only batman movie I liked was “batman return” with the penguin and cat woman….
They can make all these batman and superman movies..but they cannot make my justice league movie?
they better not mess up S****** Squad..
but her first name is robyn..so I don’t see the logic behind “it’s a conflict of interest”…
I love how that grape juice reports every little issue when it comes to their biggest money maker rihanna
but let it be the carters getting sued(every other week)for something they claim they invented…you know they invented air right?
not a peep from this site….
how is tidal doing? thats what I thought..next
How’s R8 doing? Oops! That’s what I thought…NOT A DAMN THING.
That was a dumb reason, how are people going to mix up DC character with Robyn (Rihanna) and even if they did then they can easily exit out of the webpage or tell the sales rep “No I meant the side kick of batman
DC is reaching further than Marvel movies at the box office. Robin hasn’t been hot since the Nokia 3310 first came out. But whatever, it’s an online magazine, Rihanna can always call it Fenty.
????????????she is such a loser this era.
Screaming at the girls thinking people cared about Robin. Robin can’t even get a colouring book let alone a YouTube channel. The last time someone cared about Robin, Winnie the Poo had his own action flick.
‘
According to DC comic book fans cannot read, I mean why else would they fail to distinguish between Robin and Robyn? Or are the also confirming that people have got about as much chance to keep a fresh turd as a pet as they do to care about Robin.
This is dumb. Rihanna will be fine. Their REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACHING!! STUPID POST
Feeling Myself #38 on iTunes go buy lol
Heard about this like 3 days ago bye.
This is such a stupid story. Must be a slow news day
I see y’all getting your news from google alerts
How is r8 doing? is that the best you can come up with…how the heck should I know how R8 is doing when the album hasn’t even dropped yet?
meanwhile tidal is out so your point is null and void
rihanna is doing fine..she is still getting major fashion deal.(dior) she is still on your mind 24/7 be
funny how the beyondfake stans suddenly has amnesia ..because as I recall the 4 era was also a major flop…did you see me on here saying her career was over?
Shut up , you’re always saying stupid shittt!!!!! Don’t nobody care how you or I feel.
the 4 era was such a disappointment that the bish had to fake a pregnancy just to get album sales
meanwhile adele at that time was sitting on chair with less promotion and selling like hot cakes
album went diamond in less than 2, 3 years not even…diamond for the slow people means selling 10 million or more in one country
you cannot go diamond world wide
lesson learn for today..don’t come for me unless I called for you..dismissed @ tyler
Wtf does Adele or 4 have to do with RLATE??
B****, log the f*** out
yall can post about this but not DIOR? ok
4 sold over 3 million according to mediatraffic. so if selling over 3 million WW is a flop then Unapologetic, rated R and TTT are all flops and they had #1s 4 didn’t.
Same thing goes for Flop of the Sun and a Flop Like Me
poor green gobbling and her 7star head
I would like to see that MediaTraffic receipt of 4 selling 3 million+, the only receipt I found is of 4 selling 2.1 million, I personally think it has sold somewhere between 2.7 million and 2.8 million, I don’t know where that 3 million lie came from.
And since that 2.8 million 4 has went from 1.2 mill in the Us to 1.4+ an still selling in other countries. Media traffic did say it. So sittt

Can’t wait to see how this turns out, I hope it doesn’t get nasty.
She should just change it to her last name FENTY and just let this whole thing go coz DC comics are just going to drag this until it gets ugly. But tgj couldve written a better story than this or something urgh
