Supes should belong to Siegels and DC not WB.

allthough I enjoyed the first one and its expansions more then the second one. The second one is still good

Warhammer 40k also has some cool comics

i know what you mean. dow2 seems less like an all out battle fest compared to dow. dow2 is a lot more reliant on slow, tactical play.

yeah, the comics are pretty good. i read the ultramar one, and one series with the Black Templars. good stuff.

But WB doesn't know shit about Supes and cannot make a great Superman movie, they should leave the comics stuff to DC.

They are stuck doiing the same stupid plot and same stupid villain over and over again.

Does anyone think Dc is going to change Superman's origins. I think they are changing it. A new comic is coming out called Superman: Secret Origins

I heard they were just Fixing it, because not all of the byrne era stuff was removed yet.

Unless of course the sigels are making them change it or something like that

so what does this all mean for superman? what does everyone think will happen to the character? will the comics be affected? if so, how? will superman be affected in all forms of media, such as not using him in cartoons or tv series?

if the Siegels dont want him to be used, DC wont be able to do anything about after 2013

Obviously, they will allow him to be used. However, they will surely ask for a nice profit (like royalty). Superman means a lot to DC; they'll pay a good price for him.

In worst case scenario, I see Superman being used by other companies, even marvel. In addition, he'll probably be seen a lot less in comics after 2013. I don't see him having 5 different comics (AC, Superman, JLA..etc)

They wouldn't dare. They are just money hungry.

i really can't see dc letting this stand. superman makes them more money than most other heroes combined (bar bats). besides, they have like 3 years to put something together. if they keep it in court, even, they can keep the siegels at bay for years...

Hey - Warners has owned DC for over 30 years. They produced the first movie with Christopher Reeve. This is just some serious nut-twisting business legalize.

What will the Siegels & Shusters do once they get all the rights in 2013?

(Maybe Alan Moore is their 'consigliere' in this. :evil smile
