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?

After watching Mark paint a car with an $18 Harbor Freight paint gun and seeing the horrible orange peel paint job I stopped watching the show as was then that I realized it's 100% fake. 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). I am yet to see a episode where people pay as much as what Gotham garage charges customers

Mark was profiting from an iconic duplicate. I would think his lawyer fees would be more then the 20,000 judgement ruling against him and the slap on the wrist. 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. Hence the epidemic of fake copies of consumable products around the world.

If it was a crap build I would say "go for it WB", but it was a great build. What WB should have done is say "Mark, great replica, can you build us some more for promotion?.....if not, we will sue you". Speaking of custom builds.....Marks supercar design (the yellow one), I think is ugly and I would never pay $250,000 for it. For that price, I would rather buy a Mclaren or a Ferrari....sorry Mark!

Mark should never have lost this lawsuit imo. In music, different artists can record the same song without violating copyright law because the specific arrangement is deemed to be different. The same should apply here. While it's certainly a batmobile in look and style, it's essentially a cover of the batmobile. That's why it was marketed as a replica to begin with.

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.

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.

As much as I respect the work put in by Mark and his crew, I have to side with WB. They were lucky it was only $20k, I think they recognized that he actually brought attention to the franchise with his incredible craftsmanship. Maybe they can find something for him to build or be a part of in the future.

I say no because the car was sold as aa Replica not a original it was not a replica because the engine was not the same so I fact it was different see I build cars so what they did in my opinion was OK if the engine was the same they might have a shot but since it was different it was

I was a fan of Russ Martin and remember when he started buying all his replica cars....met him many times at events where he brought his Mach 5, Batmobile, and even his Starsky & Hutch cars. To me, WB suing Gotham for making replicas was about as stupid as the Shelby family suing anyone and everyone who were trying to build replica Elenor GT500's. Just purely ego driven and pointless. Not like DC was out there building replicas for sale...so the whole "competition" issue was absolutely absurd.

I think its stupid, Warner brothers never has or will produce any version of the bat-mobile for consumer purchase. other than a toy, If the lic holder is not producing something for general purchase then it should have no claim to the reproduction of Marks cars. further more if the cars did not fully feature every gadget the Movie cars did then they are not the same . 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.

I think wb went easy on him, like for real man your gonna make something that's so close to what they made an not even let them know your doing it. I get it man the cars are night an day different but get permits for the likeness an name. 20k is a small bill for what they could have done. I love the Gotham garage and it was an excellent show. But this is the due to the cost of knowing what a project of tha caliber takes to do. An he nailed it in my eyes. Just get that permission first ya know

This opens yet another can of worms. Copyrights expire 70 years after the death of the original author, so how is it that competing companies such as pharmaceutical, firearms, and yes even auto companies adapt each other’s intellectual property as quickly as they do, let alone the recent phenomenon of music artists dodging copyright laws by calling it “sampling “.

I don't like the idea of official props being sold to private "fans" and the rest of us being unalbe to see them in a museum! I also think if it is something a fan loves he should be able to have one made by a garage without being sued! Replica is not official. therefore should not be subject to "copywrite" issues! stinks both ways to sunday then monday too! 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!
