This oil city in southeastern Turkey is no Batman for the average expat. With a population of 325,020, Batman is growing rapidly, but that rapid development has come with a heavy tax burden and persistent bureaucratic headaches. The climate is notoriously harsh, with scorching summers averaging 30.9°C and frigid winters that can plummet to -24°C. Safety is also a concern, with over 180 civilians killed by unidentified gunmen between 1992 and 1993. Unless you're drawn to the region's rich Kurdish culture and can navigate the complex political landscape, Batman is probably not the place for you.
