Superman--$$$$$

Post by noreply66 »

In 1938, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, sold the rights to their now iconic character for a measly $130. Now a federal judge in Los Angeles has ruled that Siegel's heirs are entitled to a share of the profits that Superman's proprietor, Time Warner, has made off the Man of Steel since 1999. If the ruling stands, it could also lead to restitution for Shuster's heirs. Marc Toberoff, the Siegel family's lawyer, estimates that compensation could be as much as $50 million. "We were just stubborn," said Siegel's widow, Joanne. "It was a dream of Jerry's and we just took up the task."
