Superman legal battle

On Thursday, a Superman legal battle ended with a Warner Bros. victory. Judges for the United States Court of Appeals ruled that heirs of Superman's co-creators must abide by a compensation contract that was from 2001, said a Jan. 10 NY Times report.

Just a few months ago, heirs of Joe Shuster tried to end the Superman copyright, but they were unsuccessful. The court's ruling was in favor of Warner Bros. and following this, there was another situation which concerned Superman's other co-creator, Jerome Siegel. Siegel's family had their termination notice approved by a federal judge in 2008, but this decision has now been canceled by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
