Kryptonite Copyright
U.S. District Court Judge Stephen G. Larson sided with the heirs of Jerome Siegel, creator of the action hero, Superman, in their longstanding attempt to gain a share of the character’s copyright. Siegel sold the rights to Superman 70 years ago to Detective Comics (DC) for $130. Time Warner has owned international copyrights to Superman via its ownership of DC Comics.
The 72-page decision in Siegel v. Warner Bros., details the ongoing efforts of Siegel’s heirs to capture a slice of Superman’s domestic copyrights.
