Wait, if it's only the name.... could they change his name?

Its a damn shame that a company like WB can own Supes and know fck all about him. They will butcher him.

R.I.P. Supes 2013.rip

I've already mentally conditioned myself for the worst case scenario.

I hope some fans put the scares into them.

i wonder if there's some sort of petition or letter writing movement?

I'm not even a fan of Supes, I find him boring and rather annoying but this defferently is a dickish move.

This is...FVCKED!!!

Are the Siegals even trying to cut a deal??? Or are they so greedy that they will allow Supes to fade into obscurity just to prove a point???

This pretty much sums it up.

WB is fcked....Since Siegel and (co-creator) Joel Schuster has the right for the origins they could just sit back and not give WB permission. And in 2013 they will get everything back. Or WB has to make a new Supes movie with a new origin.

This means the Siegels now control depictions of Supes' parents, the destruction of Krypton, the infant Kal-El crash landing on earth, and so on. If Warner Bros. want to reboot the franchise and include these elements - perhaps for a new origin movie - they would now have to seek permission first.

AS previously reported, if the studio and DC Comics want to make a Superman movie they need to start production by 2011.

In 2013 all the remaining rights to the character will pass over to the families of Siegel and (co-creator) Joel Schuster in 2013, giving them the power to set up Superman projects elsewhere.

I don't like that last sentence.

they don't need to address his origin in the new movie. its been done to death already, and besides, anyone who knows anyone about superman knows the "baby on a rocketship sent from a dying planet" story. it's not neccessary.

2013, though... shit.

My first impression is the Siegels are a bunch of money-thirsty assholes. Is there any context that might change that ?
