The Real Reason Warner Brothers Sued Gotham Garage
Subscribe for More!
Whether people watch it because of their astounding work, their magnetic cast, or simply for entertainment purposes, the truth is that “Car Masters: Rust To Riches” has done an excellent job at becoming one of the most popular car restoration shows airing on TV nowadays.
Many who watch the show will agree that the show is free of drama on and off the screen, so the case of Mark Towle is surprising, to say the least. The show’s main star, Mark, has had some real-life issues involving his business, a big company, and some copyright laws.
DC Comics v. Mark Towle is not another TV show, but a copyright case heard in the U.S Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, in September 2015. The case involves Mark Towle, who owns and runs “Gotham Garage'' and the plaintiff, Warner Brothers; Mark Towle runs his personal business in his Garage, so why the lawsuit? Let’s find out, shall we?

I really wanted to like it, but there were too many questionable shots showing bad paint, body lines, etc and then the person paying over $100k for the vehicle with crap paint/body work done on it.

At least in rust valley restorers, from what I have seen so far, the highest they seem to sell cars for, is about 60k in Canadian dollars so far (which is about 66815.95 in Australian dollars roughly when googling currency conversion).

The bottom line is if you had a product that was duplicated and someone was making profit from it. I'm sure you would want a cut or production to cease.

The reality is that there is already a DC licensed builder of at least the 66 Batmobile. In addition, each Batmobile created under any DC product from comics, TV shows, Movies, and video games are copywrite by design regardless of the parts it takes to build one. You simply cannot replicate and sell something as the original thing and then sell a lot of them without some big eyebrows being raised. His mistake was not reaching out to WB to work a deal for a licensed product while selling them as the "original" cars. The fact that WB only went for 20K is really nothing to them as they clearly could have completely shut him down but did not. That is rare and to their credit which WB is in very short supply of late with all the woke garbage they are pimping out destroying their own franchises and losing millions of dollars.

There you have it. Design was based on a 59 Futura. Therefore, the "batmobile" isn't an original design, making the copyright lawsuit null and void. Why can't a company like DC comics just be stoked that people love something enough to make it themselves?? They've made billions, yet somehow its never enough. If I was the owner, I'd tell DC that if they want to keep fans, stopping them from being able to have a piece of comic book history is not the way to go. Marvel blows DC out the water anyway, just saying.

Seeing how the 60s Tv show was 90% based off a concept car then Warner brothers should have no real claim. Now if Mark produced a car that was latter used in a Batman remake with out the permission of Warner brothers i can see a lawsuit , As they hold the right to those films.

Hollywood(movie props)are selling their own officlal ORIGINAL props ot some guy with dark rimmed glasses and a sloppy tee shirt so he and his fat beedy-eyed misus can go on "Collectors" with Blair from Facts of life to tout off but the rest of us can't have access to it! As India says often: "It Belongs in a Museum!!!" But Hollywood won't let us make cars to sell to the rest of the fans! Hollywood must be real insecure despite all thier big $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$!! But the public is still the losing end! God Damnit to Hell!

Being associated with a fake businesses that produces the worst quality builds of all the faux "garages" on TV right now...and that is a big call when considering how much dodgy crap there is in "reality" TV these days. When B is for Build was sued over Eleanor, everyone was on his side. But this lot guys are clowns that ripped off their name, and the creative direction of more than one build. WB went easy on them!
