Warner Bros. wins ‘Superman’ case

Warner Bros. wins ‘Superman’ case in a favor of the heirs of “Superman” co-creator Jerome Siegel. The decision was announced last Wednesday, U.S. Judge District Court Judge Stephen G. Larson found that the license fees the studio paid to corporate sibling DC Comics didn’t represent “sweetheart” deals as they weren’t below fair market value. The judge also set a December 1, 2009 trial date for determining the allocation of profits to the heirs, who won a ruling last year from Larson that awarded them half the copyright for the “Superman” material.
The heirs had accused Warners of making “sweetheart” deals with DC Comics in 1999 for feature rights and in 2000 for TV rights for “Smallville.”
