Bad News Guys

The Batmobile is copyright protected. This means we can't make replicas and sell them anymore.

Seriously, this article is hilarious. The judge quoted Batman during her ruling. I'm still dying laughing.

Meanwhile some guy can't make $90,000 per Batmobile replica anymore. Sucks to be him.

That's too bad, I've always wanted the 1989 Batmobile, too.

Wth lol that's great! I kinda want one now though...

well he was making a killing so he would have saved his monies and can do other replicas except batman now?

Damn I've always wanted one too

Most people who make money like that don't save it. They think it'll always be there. That's when they lose it they have no idea what to do with themselves. They often have nervous breakdowns and try to kill themselves.

True story.

No idea if he actually saved his money but I'm just saying. If you've got a "guaranteed" income like $90,000 per car and you make like 5 a year, you probably won't save a penny. Especially if you didn't think you'd get sued by DC.

Also if I were him, I wouldn't make anymore replicas. His name is out there now so other companies will be watching him closely. Unless he goes into a partnership of some type. Hell maybe the people who created the Dukes of Hazard can hire him to recreate The General Lee.

Negotiate a licensing deal and get back to werk. Cost will go up but people will pay.

damn it!
WTH ............
