The estate of one of Superman’s co-creators has filed a copyright lawsuit in a U.S. court against Warner Bros. Discoveryahead of the release of its new movie, “Superman,” part of a planned reboot of the DC Comics superhero film franchise.
. “We fundamentally disagree with the merits of the lawsuit, and will vigorously defend our rights,” a Warner spokesperson said. Shuster and Siegel and their estates have been involved in litigation with Warner over the rights to Superman for decades. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined in 2013 that the creators could not reclaim their rights from Warner under U.S. law.
