Warner Bros. Wins Lawsuit; Superman to Stay Super

Thursday, 18 October 2012 | by Pat's Picks

Superman will stay super. Warner Bros. just won a crucial legal battle, says the LA Times, against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, who were after a fifty-percent cut of the superhero. If successful, Warner Bros. would be unable to use specific details about Superman’s backstory—“including his super strength and speed, secret identity as Clark Kent and girlfriend Lois Lane”—in future projects. That just makes him Averageman, doesn’t it?
