Rihanna wants to call her digital magazine “Robyn”… DC Comics says “No”

Rihanna’s first name is Robyn, and that’s what she wants to name her upcoming digital magazine.

There’s just one problem: DC Comics wants to stop Rihanna from using the name, claiming that it is too similar to the name of Batman’s sidekick, Robin.

DC Comics is attempting to block Rihanna’s application to trademark the name. The comic book company submitted their complaint last week, arguing that Rihanna’s magazine idea is “identical and/or highly related” to their existing properties.

Rihanna’s supporters say the only thing you could confuse her “online non-downloadable general feature magazines,” with is a blog.

Still, DC Comics believes that a Robyn magazine “is likely to cause confusion, cause mistakes, or deceive the public.”
