Worst New Batman Villain Since Orca

I'm not sure there's anything to add to this story of a Florida man being sued by DC for making statues of superhero characters that wouldn't just be additional melancholy squeezed out of it using a special "sadness press." One wonders if the man in question really does have the agreements claimed or if it would mean anything even if he did; it's hard to figure out if DC originally asked for a cease and desist and moved on to a lawsuit when it didn't get one; you have to squint a lot to figure out why the man would defend the right to continue this enterprise if it's as non-profitable as he claims; and so on. It's sort of like one of those Batman punches a junkie in the throat scenes that you don't think about much as a kid but still kind of enjoy and then feel bad for enjoying once you see it again as an adult, only without the kind of enjoy part as a reference.
