Ruling Gives Heirs a Share of Superman Copyright

New York Times: "A federal judge here on Wednesday ruled that the heirs of Jerome Siegel — who 70 years ago sold the rights to the action hero he created with Joseph Shuster to Detective Comics for $130 — were entitled to claim a share of the United States copyright to the character."

Are you serious? $130 i mean it was still the 1930s but that is still so so little compared to the massive franchise superman has created this past century. However I feel it was infact Warner Brothers who was the backbone to geting Superman out there and so well known to public. I am excited to see the next movie with batman, wonder woman, and superman. But still I guess the two creators have the right to win their rights back.
