The estate of Joseph Shuster, co-creator of Superman, has filed a federal lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery and its subsidiary, DC Comics, alleging that the entertainment giant has been exploiting the Superman character without authorization in several international markets. The lawsuit claims that the copyrights to Superman in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Ireland reverted to Shuster’s estate in 2017 and 2021, in accordance with local copyright expiration laws. However, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have allegedly continued to use the character in these regions without obtaining proper licensing agreements from the estate.
