The ruling Wednesday, October 17, 2012 regarding heirs of Superman artist Joe Shuster who had been fighting in court to reclaim the copyrights of DC Comics. U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II ruled the rights to Superman had been relinquished more than two decades ago. Meaning that DC Comics and Warner Bros. are the rightful owners and will retain all rights to continue using the character in books, films, television and other mediums. Superman’s co-creators signed away their ability to reclaim copyrights to the Man of Steel over 20 years ago. Shuster and writer Jerry Siegel created Superman in 1938 in Action Comics #1.

DC Comics x PEZ Candy Dispensers
With the huge success of Christopher Nolan’s conclusions The Dark Knight trilogy and his upcoming project Man of Steal. PEZ has jumped on bored with the Batman craze and I am absolutely loving the new DC Comic PEZ candy dispensers especially the Catwoman full bust. I must have! The set includes 4 full bust PEZ dispenser: Catwoman, Batman, Green Lantern and Superman. Then there is the classic head PEZ featuring: Batman, Joker, Riddler and Two Face which I highly recommend Joker or Two Face. It will be probably hard to find these in stores so I suggest just ordering them through PEZ’s website for $1.79 USD, the Marvel ones sold out pretty quick. Check out the collection below which one is your favorite?

With that you get clips of fishermen on a boat, a young child in a cape, and at the end obviously Superman shooting up into the universe. Another movie I can’t wait to see. DC Comics rocks!
