There has to be a way to get out of some stupid ass contract like that. Hire a good lawyer and get it thrown out. Or modify it in some stupid little way and call it a "new" car and then drive it.

It's not that easy; the car is likely protected under trademark law - Warner Bros / DC Comics would argue that if the car is publicly displayed, that'd cause "dilution of the distinctive character of the senior [Batman] mark."

I'm sure in WB's view, having Drew Carey and Mimi Bobeck drive the car really consolidates what it means to be a lithe, crime-fighting, guardian of the night.
Oh wait...
