Please appraise the following BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE domain names...

I was lucky enough to recently pick up the following;

www.batmaninfinite.com - the next batman movie after batman vs superman - scheduled release of 2016 according to IMDB

www.theriddlermovie.com - again scheduled release 2016 according to IMDB.

I have just a splash page with a form on the sites now, just intend to sell for profit - hopefully to warner bro's lol. Any idea if this will tick .. or what a good evaluation for these domain names should be?

 

I would drop these names, super heroes like this are all trademarked.....Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Thor etc

 

Well, if they want them dont they have to pay me for them? Or would they just sue me?

 

they wont' sue you. they will offer to pay you $100,000 like randpaul.com paid.. Trust me cybersquatting trademark names is the way to go! It's like Go Big..or go home.

 

well I sure hope so - that would be amazing. Do you or anybody have any idea how I would approach them on selling the name? Or would I just have to wait til if/when they approach me? If I would sell this domain for that much money I would pay the hosting fee for this website for 5 years as a thank you!

 

they will never approach you, their lawyers will send you a cease and desist letter and if you do not hand the domain over to them for free, they will sue you and win. Its how trademarks work, it is extremely naive to believe that you can use other peoples trade marks for basically squatting. I am not telling you this to ruin your day, just speaking out of personal experience as a domainer. The user Suziclue was pulling your leg, you should look up cybersquatting and how it exactly applies to trademarks.

 

well i am unsure about what your saying - So i will most definitely discuss this with my attorney's however a little bit of update - A friend / client of mine (in the music industry) actually has connections with warner brothers and he set me up with an appointment to discuss the name and a potential purchase of the name from me. I will keep you all posted.

 

Hey Dominic,

From a naive buyer/seller to another one! Lol

Any updates about your approach to these big companies selling those domains?

 

Is this for real?

You can't own a domain name that is trademarked!

 

They wont pay you a cent, they just take them through the courts lol...seriously, this is common sense?
