"The heirs of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster do not have the right to
reclaim copyrights to the popular character, a federal judge ruled.
Wednesday?s ruling gives DC Comics, owned by Warner
Bros., all rights to Superman for books, movies, television and other
medium.
In response to a DC Comics lawsuit filed in 2010
seeking a judgment that it owns all copyrights to the Man of Steel, U.S.
District Court Judge Otis D. Wright ruled that Schuster?s sister and
her son did not succeed in reclaiming their rights to Superman. The
judge decided that a 1992 agreement to receive annual payments from DC
Comics in exchange for all rights to the character made by Shuster?s
sister superseded the Shuster heirs? claim under ?termination rights? in
U.S. copyright law.
The estate of co-creator Jerry Siegel successfully
reclaimed some rights to Superman using such a termination notice some
four years ago.
Warner Bros. likely filed the lawsuit against the
Shuster heirs because it is in the middle of production of a new
Superman movie, ?Man of Steel,? scheduled to be released next summer."
