Ruling Gives Heirs a Share of Superman Copyright

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.
