Batman has had enough of your terrible decisions. He tells you that he wants out and that he is going to start a comic book

Batman has had enough of your terrible decisions. He tells you that he wants out and that he is going to start a comic book store - "Batman's Books" - by himself. Can you blame him? What's the main problem and what could be a solution?

Select one:

A.

No you can't blame him, but DC Comics might be able to. He could get sued for passing off. He should change his nickname, and put a sign in the store saying "nobody is allowed to call me "Batman" while you are in this store."

B.

No, you can't blame him.The problem is you will need to call your hot dogs something else now. Get him to sell you the rights to the name "Bat Dogs" or change the name of your product to "Protein Power Tubes".

C.

Yes, you can blame him. He has breached his fiduciary duty to you and he could be imprisoned for up to two years. He should stay and keep working with you.

D.

No, you can't blame him. You have made bad decisions and selling comic books does not breach his fiduciary duty because it does not compete with you selling Bat Dogs.

E.

No you can't blame him, but DC Comics might be able to. He could get sued for passing off. He should call his store something else.
