Superman turned 75 this week, but it wasn’t just the Man of Steel celebrating, as Warner Bros. got some great news of its own yesterday.
Thanks to a ruling in the U.S. District Court, the studio ended its legal issues with the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel.
The ruling affirms a contested 2001 agreement between the estate and Warner, with the Siegels granting the studio full rights to Superman and Superboy.
The history of the case can be read over at Deadline, but the decision means that the studio can now make Superboy movies alongside their Man of Steel reboot should they so wish. Is that a good idea? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out our feature on what Superman means to us.
