You Can’t Be Batman or Iron Man in DC
The open records site the Government Attic has obtained a list, 68 pages worth, of words that can’t be used on Washington D.C. vanity license plates. Here’s the geeky ones banned that I found:
- Doctor Who
- Bruce Wayne
- TARDIS
- Batman
- Cheetah
- Jedi420
- GUNDAMX
- GUNDAM1
- IRONMAN
- DOCWHO
The collection of banned names, ominously known as the “Forbidden Tag List,” is kind of entertaining and you can see the full list below.
