The Batmobile and the legal troubles that came with it for David Copperfield have disappeared.

In March, the magician bid $189,500 for a Batmobile he thought was used in the 1989 film "Batman." The car was actually one of five Warner Bros. promotional vehicles made for, but not used in, the film.Copperfield sued an auction house and collector Michael Eisen-berg for $1 million, claiming the car was a fraud. Eisen-berg, the car owner, filed his own lawsuit that said the magician bought an original.

The parties announced Tuesday that all sides "have agreed to resolve their dispute" and were making a charitable contribution to Project Magic Inc., which teaches magic and theatrical arts to the disabled.
