The Trial of Superman and Superboy

Submitted by PatrickMcD on January 29, 2008 - 11:27am.

Litigation is heating up regarding the lawsuit from the estate of Jerry Siegel (the original comic book creator of Superman) vs. Time Warner (owner of DC Comics). This could effect all future Superman movie productions including the JLA movie. Here is the background of the suit on Wikipedia (click on Legal status in Contents)…

DC and Time Warner has a history of doing a screw job on Jerry Siegel (died 1996) and Joe Shuster (d. 1992), the creators of their billion dollar Supes. Let’s hope that all parties will come to a fair conclusion.

I’m vague on the details, but I thought one of the main goals of DC’s last big event mini, “Infinite Crisis,” was to write Superboy out of continuity for the trial. But “Crisis” writer Geoff Johns wrote him back in for the “Sinestro Corps” storyline, as that Wiki article clearly states. Hmm.

I hope this doesn’t effect Smallville (now playing on the new CW!).

You love “Smallville.” You should marry it. You can have a joint ceremony where Adam marries /Film.
