The Batmobile Is Copyright Protected, Rightfully So

Only Batman can drive the Batmobile, judge upholds copyright

In addition to Robin and Alfred, Batman apparently has quite a legal team helping him, too. Judges in the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an earlier ruling about the copyright ramifications of selling replicas of the Batmobile. According to an Associated Press report in the Detroit News, the unique appearance of the Caped Crusader's car was found to make it a character in the story and therefore couldn't be copied without permission from DC Comics.
