Ah, the legal battles in the comic book world... there is constant war raging across America when it comes to the comic books, and the comic book characters, we all love. When the powers that be decide to move the characters from the books to the silver screen... the claws of greed and disrespect come out and blood flows.
I, for one, am happy this little issue has almost been put to rest by the appeals court. Maybe now Warner Brothers will be free to divert ALL their attention and focus to making the best Superman movies, and comic books, in the future.
So glance at the above article and let out a sigh of relief if you are a Superman fan. Warner Brothers obviously paid the estates of the creators of Superman a boat load of cash in the recent past for the rights to Superman. The estates of the creators obviously now want the rights to the characters back, but that is not going to happen. I say as long as Warner Brothers continues to respect the legacy... let peace live.
Now, if only the television rights to the 1960's Batman TV series debacle can be worked out. That mess has dragged on for decades and decades... and it looks like it may never be settled. And that is a freakin' shame. Someone would probably make a billion dollars with the release of Batman on DVD. Nearly every person on the planet would want a copy of that box set... are you kidding me? Well anyway, this digression only leads to paralysing depression for me.
Anyway, Superman seems to be on a right legal course... for now.
