Title: Oh no! Possible trouble for Smallville. Post by: GUATARICCAN on April 05, 2006, 05:54:27 pm Decision Favors Widow of Superman Creator in 'Smallville' Suit
A federal judge in Los Angeles has poured Kryptonite over The WB's Smallville, granting a summary judgment to the widow and daughter of Jerry Siegel, one of the two creators of the Superman character. As reported by Daily Variety, the ruling by Judge Ronald S.W. Lew observed that Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson had successfully recaptured the copyright to Superboy in 2004; it also denied a request by Time Warner, Warner Bros, and DC Comics to issue a ruling that Smallville did not infringe on Superboy copyrights. "Enough facts are presented, where this court, contrary to defendants' request, could find that the main character in Smallville is in fact Superboy," the judge ruled. Warner Bros. told the trade paper that it plans an appeal. Title: Re: Oh no! Possible trouble for Smallville. Post by: Sunstroke on April 05, 2006, 07:28:15 pm WOW...I don't like this news at all. I've really gotten into Smallville this season, and I'd hate to see anything throw a monkey wrench into the gears now! >:( Title: Re: Oh no! Possible trouble for Smallville.

Superboy isn't the same character as Superman (as a boy), is it? Title: Re: Oh no! Possible trouble for Smallville. Post by: Fau Teixeira on April 06, 2006, 12:49:13 am day late and a dollar short no ? the show is about over anyways

Technically Superman was Superboy while growing up in Smallville. I think, pretty sure. Title: Re: Oh no! Possible trouble for Smallville. Post by: GUATARICCAN on April 06, 2006, 01:22:43 pm While we're on the subject of Smallville, did you see Lois Lane (Erica Durance) in FHM? Damn I always tell Dave she's way finer than Lana.
