Warner Bros. Loses Rights to Superman's Origins
Source:Variety
August 14, 2009
Variety reports that a judge on Wednesday ruled that the family of superman's co-creator, Jerry Siegel, has "successfully recaptured" rights to additional works, including the first two weeks of the daily Superman newspaper comic-strips, as well as portions of early Action Comics and Superman comic-books. The trade explains:
The ruling is based on the court's finding that these were not "works-made-for-hire" under the Copyright Act.
This means the Siegels -- repped by Marc Toberoff of Toberoff & Associates -- now control depictions of Superman's origins from the planet Krypton, his parents Jor-El and Lara, Superman as the infant Kal-El, the launching of the infant Superman into space by his parents as Krypton explodes and his landing on Earth in a fiery crash.
The article again mentioned that the studio and DC will have to start production by 2011 if they want to make a new
"Superman" or "Justice League" movie

So either Warner Bros are going to pay shit load of money to talk about the originals of superman or are we looking at the possibility of someone in DC comics or Warner to created a new origins story for the man of steel, I doubt it but I would not be surprise if something like that would occurs.
